Post a coin that has a strange look.

Yes, 1961.

Probably a metal detecting beach find.

Common to turn black

I won this 1989 mint on here set a few months back. In the "P" sello were both of these. Kennedy half with deep strike through on trust, and a dime with a reverse the like of which I have never seen from a mint set

 

The only thing "wrong" with is is:
1. Strike-through behind the ear
2. Die Break from the eye to the rim
3. Planchet flaw (retained de-lamination) below the date splitting the planchet from left of 9 to middle of 8 causing advanced wear.
4. CUD over ST
5. More die breaks on the reverse.

Other than that, it's a "nice" problem free coin.

 

This looked strange in the 2x2. It looked even better out

 

Retained de-lamination.

 

You can't see mine. Show and Tell is over, so I'm taking mine and going home.

 

Chrome plated?

 

wow, nice!!

 

on ebay they are selling sets like this at a premium, and with ones with dopubled coins and missing another..

 

that is a nice greaser!!! i have a few, but not that PROFOUND!!

 

MIS-ANNEALED QUARTER 1971-D

 

NICE SET!!!

 

Yeah…. Probably a high school experiment. They still look unusual enough to be eye catching.

 

THANK YOU for this ODD post. This is Perfect for this Weird proof coin. I bought it at a flea mkt here for silver scrap price at the time (2013) it has been terribly abused but still proof. Thats why I don't believe what my glasses are looking at.YOU TELL ME! I know it could not be a shattered die being PROOF! What happened ? Sorry about so many pictures but I know you'd want to see them and weight

 

me thinks struck through a cancelled die??

 

so far good answer, I like that concept, seller Said it was proof, take that with a grain of salt.
