Okay, it’s obvious. You’re supposed to see a too low and sideways “S”. I see it, but it’s just NOT an “S”. It’s merely pareidolia, just like about a bazillion other newbie “letter sightings”.

 

Lol I know. It's a stain like thing.

 

Yes, good. Now tell me why ANYONE would EVER give it so much as a moment’s notice. THAT’S NOT HOW THIS FIELD WORKS!!! At least it never HAS until lately with the YouTube nonsense. I’ve been doing this for almost 56 years.

 

Look, all you microscope jockeys, the STANDARD magnification for almost ALL numismatic work is only 5x. About 85% is done at 1x. NO magnification! Put away the scopes, folks. You’re frying your brains with high mag lighting through your retinas!

 

I hope he has got the memo that there isn't anything there. YouTube I watched one time and said this is all fake it's not easy just to find something worth millions in your pocket. To good to be true.

 

Yeah i see that too

 

Yeah.... I was looking through a scope one time. It strained my eyes so much it it made me get balpasy for a whole day. Head ake my side of my face was droopy couldn't talk right lol like I had a stroke but didn't lol

 

Your numismatic “growth” has been a wonder to watch happen, and you’re one of very few encouraging developments I see here. YOU are the type we need to nurture and mentor. You “get it”.

 

I see jefferson face (facing right)

 

Ok i see the S

 

I thought it was ironman

 

that is sorta the shape of what I see and the bottom of an S looks like a backwards C. be careful when you say you actually see something because you can get called names for it. haha...for the record, I can't tell from the pic. looks like a phone pic. phones and coin pics should not go together. I am on a laptop with a 16 inch screen and I can just barely see it. if anybody looks from a phone, they won't see a thing, probably.

 

no, Shrews...a US cent sold for over a million dollars in 2018. yes, that sounds too good to be true but I sold a 2018 penny for $52 and once you start seeing the real money, you know it is true. I like 52 bucks for nothing...just don't expect millions. go for thousands first...or hundreds...Youtube is sketchy...some channels are total garbage and others are informative. I sold that penny for $52 because I saw it on Youtube, had the same one and sold it. watch more of them and you will see who gives real content and who is there to make money selling coin supplies and collect from Youtube for number of subscribers....type in 1969s Penny. you will get a ton of videos. watch those and you will see who is smart and who is working YouTube for bucks.
sorry for going off-topic but it fits, sorta.

 

sorry, I tried to reply to chooch and can't delete this.

 

Hey kurt @V. Kurt Bellman . You should use that guys avatar. I think it would make Doug jealous

 

I'm saying pocket change. Not likely to find something valuable In pocket it change.

 

I got the penny from Safeway.

 

Like I said not likely. It can. But rarely.

 

then why waste time here? go on ebay and see coins get sold everyday that were 'pocket change'. Machete don't argue. every time there is a reply all the other people are getting emails and it gets annoying, plus off-topic.
I know what is true from experience while you do not. cheers.

sorry to all concerned for constant email notifications.
