I was just wondering if anyone would no if this coin would mint out to a MS 60 or maybe a little bit better that is all.
They both mint out circulated. The one not clean enough and going back for sure is just a tad more circulated than the other one.
Now I'm talking county boy talk mint out first time I ever done that never know what is going to come out of my mouth.
Yeah Eddiespin that is what I needed to know I take the 74 is not good enough but the 67 is a little better the one guy said that a scratch on theme ant MS condition I didn't know that I thought they could have some light scratches and still be a possible MS 65 but that is something I read back of this I love mint coins the difference in color I'm also color blind I was born this way so that is one reason I even ask about condition and the color of it to cause my eyes play tricks on Me I might not even no it is a red usually if I find a keeper I Will ask all these questions if it went that far. I tell you what I'm thinking about keeping that 67 I kinda like it thanks guys for the help.
Bentley, MS coins can have scratches on them. In fact, quite a few of them do. And scrapes, and marks, and you name it. They get that from banging around other coins in the bins they drop into after they're minted. On your two coins, the 67 and 74, they're not MS, but only for one reason, and one reason, alone, and that's, they have wear. Now, let me explain that. You buy a new dress shirt. It's brand new. It's still got the pins in it, and in the cardboard. It's MS, right? OK, you get the idea. You wear it, then you wash it. It's a little less new-looking, now, isn't it? You wear and wash, wear and wash, wear and wash, a hundred times, and now it's looking nothing like it looked when you bought it. It's worn out, that's why. Well, guess what? The same goes for coins, after they've circulated in commerce for a spell. They wear out, too. How do we know your coins aren't MS? How do you know that dress shirt, after just a few wash cycles, isn't new? We tell the same way as you, from the wear we see. Finally, I want to just make a suggestion. You don't have to follow it, that's OK. But, it's this. Instead of looking for bad coins, why don't you start looking for good ones? It's what most of us here do. We look for good coins, not mistakes on coins. I'll assure you of this much, if you do, you'll soon enough find, that's where the money is. It's certainly not in what you've been doing, looking for errors. Show us your best, instead of your worst. Take your focus off errors, and put it on good coins. Just a suggestion, now, I just told you that. You're in charge, always, and never forget it. Enjoy.
And I mean this thanks that is funny you said that I'm trying to do a little switch a rue I love mint coins I don't really know what years to look for I mean comn sence tell me that the older the better I have had people just say I don't give them much thought if they ant least a 1963 they act like there is no money in it now I tell you guys what I do I really put to much in it but I do a lot of reading different things for different days I just let my self go with reading cause I'm going to read every thing but I've seen a 1998 68 Red bring good money so it don't have to be old not less the auction people are lying I kinda doubt it but I also have done research like this looking for coins that there is not many like them like the 1959d my favorite coin of all personal my self you guys might be way off I have some nice ones I don't know what they will grade it has been a long time since I've even seen them. But everything you said made perfect since I just love finding errors I don't know why but it pulled me in a long time ago I'm that guy is going to find that coin everyone thinks they're is none left but I will find one coin like that before I retire but it was funny I'm got a bunch setting right in front of me mint you guys only see my junk I have really never thought about showing you coins that I know are worth money but thanks for the advice and I like how you broke it down very smart man thanks
Thank you, Bentley. And let me just leave you off with this. In this hobby, good coins are the dog, and errors are the tail. When you're spending your time on looking for errors, do you know what you're doing? You guessed it. You're letting the tail wag the dog. It's that simple. See you around, buddy.
