If I may give you a small bit of advice : Please try to choose coins in better condition to search. When you search such poor condition coins under a magnifying glass or a microscope , you will always see something that looks like something, but it isn't anything. It's just Post Mint Damage (PMD) 99.99 % of the time. When we search coins, especially coins in poor condition, our desire to find something often supersedes our logic and common sense and we start seeing things that aren't really there.Looking at your coin, there is hardly a sq. cm. or even a sq. mm. that doesn't have damage on it. A coin in such bad condition, even if you found something like a die crack on it, would be almost worthless anyway simply because of the condition of the coin. You would have to find something really significant, for the value of the find to overcome the poor condition of the coin. Now David, I want you to understand that no one is trying to hurt your feelings or make fun of you. Everyone here wants to, and is, trying to help you. Myself with my bluntness and honesty, and Paddy and schep with their knowledge and experience. With all that said, I want to Welcome you to Coin Talk, and I want you to keep searching coins, just better condition ones, and please keep posting on Coin Talk. Just reading the different threads is an education in and of , itself. Thanks David.
