62 BN. It looks very similar to my 27-S red and that is what NGC gave it.

 

If that is the worst you got, you did very well. The "best" looks to me like it has a shot at NGC 67.

 

My camera tried to turn my '43 red with the wrong color balance....but it really just came out without blue. I still like this coin.

 

Just a common RD coin.

 

An NGC MS66RB

 

I know how u fell my good camera Died it was a Pentax Optic 10mpw/5x Zoom, now I am using a Pentax Optic 3.5mpw/2.5 Zoom

The
1953-S:thumb::thumb::thumb: Full Red!!

1941 very nice too:thumb::thumb:

 

OK, family gone out of town, decided to open another BU roll, this time 1954-S.

One of Best ( except common degradation of the O in ONE on reverese) some tone.



A nice filling, including the mm.



At first I had these 2 in the damaged category, until I looked closer and saw it wasn't a cut in the coin, but a die gouge, same one in both.


The segregation from MS-60 on left to 65 on right.



Still have some rolls to go

i would say someone using a file to clean up the die did that. you certainly did get some purty ones though.

 

DG I have about 6 - 10 like this one of your's but not Bu

 

Your coin mark is a die dent or sometimes called a die gouge. The die received a hit and all coins struck later with this die will have exact mark from this hit. The difference is that a die crack is where the die is starting to separate, but this was a hit the die received. Always nice to use as a marker if the die was a variety coin or while searching a BU roll. It ID's those coins coming from that die after that event.

 

Blazing 54-S Jim! Don't you love cracking those rolls? You never know what you're going to get!

 

Coop, you are absolutely correct, I still don't know why I said crack

I changed it so as not to confuse others!

Happened to find this in the local store in an album of type coins intended for subscription by the new collector.Most are cleaned or low grade, but this was a type for Lincoln Memorial Proof cent. I was hoping it was my DAY, but it was a type I 1981-S proof rather than the expensive type II. But it was nice looking, so I bought it anyway.:hail: As most of you may know the 1981-S Type I mint mark is the same style as the 1979-S type II mint mark.

Folks some very nice posts 1909VDB,1919,1924,1929 and1981-S. a good year span:thumb:
Here a 1960 sm Date proof

 

I picked up this set at a flea market in the early seventies. Most of these are bright red (I just haven't mastered copper yet!).

My question for you Wheat collectors: How is the best way to sell them? Sell the set 1941-1975, or piece them out one coin at a time?
Your advice is appreciated! Thanks!
