Found in change(sometime)Lincoln Cent question Since I was delaying the inevitable chores I need to do, I thought I would look through all my wheaties I have in a tin can. I was hoping for a repunched mint mark or two - no such luck, but I did find these 2. I thought I would ask about the 1951 - is this a variety or what? Just curious about what it is - almost looks like someone stuck a comma on the 5. The 1956 is a filled 9 - I managed to find that on the net. Thanks for any info.
Those are interesting examples of CUD errors. You must have a good eye and a lot of patience to be able to pick those coins out of the bunch. No luck finding a 1914-D in the tin can, huh?
Good eye - nope, digital blue microscope. Just popped the date and mint mark under the scope at 60X. There was only about 100-150 coins. Needed something to do. Lets see there were two 1918's, 1 1919, 1 1923, 1 1930 and all the rest were 40's and 50's. These two were in the last 10 coins.
Yes - all come from circulation. I just noticed the title on the thread is wrong - oh well. Anyway over the years as I found a wheatie I tossed them into a tin can. Today I was bored and just started popping them under the scope to look for RP mint mark and found these. If my father will get off his butt and dig out a old wheatie set me and my brother worked on in the late 60's(early 70's)I would have more to search. We were doing whitman albums on wheaties and jeff nickels - everytime I ask him for this I get a complaint about how much work it is for him to go digging thru things. Sigh!
I agree - but the 1951 D has 32 repunched mintmark varieties and 1951 S has 12. 1951 P has doubled-die affects the IN GOD WE TRUST.
