1962 penny?

So found this really pretty 1962 penny that just stood out from my pocket change..the words in god we trust..well the I in "In" is a dotted i ... in other words not capitalized..as well as the details in Abs attire and face are impeccable and the color for is the truest copper color ive ever seen in any penny..anyone?

Yeah, pics necessary.

I love finding red 1960's cents.

 

Im trying to upload a frkn pic and this phone is too complicated!!!! Says the pics are too large..resized and nothing!!!

 

Put 'em on imageshack.com.

 

I find it easiest to put it on an sd/microsd+adapter card and put into the computer from there

 

Yay! Its on imageshack but how do i get u to see it? Not tech savy at all!!

 

Copy and paste the link into the response box

Uhm, I don't know what I managed to do above, but here ya go...



EDIT: Actually, it doesn't appear to want to insert itself (At least not on my computer?) no matter what I do.



Ah, got it! I was trying to insert the webpage as an image, lol.

 

Btw..why is the penny red copper? Looks like red gold..

 

Well, now that I figured it out... that pic isn't really good enough to tell you anything about the coin. I'm going to assume it's got some post-mint damage making it worth no more than face, though. Almost looks lacquered.

 

Its a horrible pic..! No it looks gold..like red gold..doesnt look like a normal penny at all..im.siked that i found it to add to my collection..wish i knew how to use this 4g htc camera phone..it takes great pics but i cant with it! Lol! Thx for the help! I looked close enough to c that i is not capitalized..but hey you guys are the experts!!

 

I think I have the same phone as you... HTC Evo? It sucks at taking pics of coins unless you have lots of light and are using a loupe or other magnifier.

 

I also have the same phone. Thought about getting one of these:

yeah, it's PMD. Something bashed into the "I" and damaged it. The older pennies were 95% copper, so they look more red in colour when they're in nicer condition. I actually hang on to cents from that year, entirely for the value of the copper

 

I couldn't see well enough in the blowup, but another possibility is that the die striking the coin had a little grease and/or debris at the point where the space between the lower part of the i and the dot over the I was located. Look carefully at the space. If it goes lower than the normal surface of the coin, it is PMD. If it is any extent higher than the surface of the coin, it is a partially filled die occurring at the mint.
