Worn Die Strike

 

Worn Die Strike

 

how are you so smart

 

I'm completely new to any kind of collecting but to me the date looked larger on right,particularly the 1 .also the L in liberty as well as its overall appearance also bust looks larger to me.

 

Truly, there is nothing "Special" about ether coin. Least of all being a worn die strike.

 

I wasn't sure the liberty just looks different to me as well as the leg of the L being in the rim also the date and bust look different to me. Like I said I'm new to coins. Got board and went through change jar.

 

They appear the same to me

 

also are any of these worth having graded?

 

Welcome to Coin Talk.

If it looks a different it probably is, a bit. Coins will have small variations in them,
just like anything that is mass-produced. Your coin on the right still has a little bit of mint luster on it, which will make it look different due to reflection of light.
The L of Liberty being on the rim is a common thing for 1960's cents due to the master dies the is used to make the dies used in the coin presses. This was changed in 1969.

Compare one of your 1974's to your 1965.
As for Grading, I think not, due to the cost of grading and low value of the coin.

A bit of reading maybe.

No, not worth having graded. Nice enough to put in coin holders to protect them, but worth little if any over face value.

 

check the backs of your 1983 and see if they are doubled

 

Thanks I wasn't sure I've seen on heritage coins go for thousands at ms68 in 79 and 82 with out errors and the coins I looked at that had that grading had lot of visible dings and scratches. Just didn't know how they got such a high grade or why they sold for so much.

 

Yeah I did unfortunately they do not.

 

i havent had any luck with that either

 

May I speak out of turn, and ask if anyone here knows of an ancient Greek coin, with smiling face and tongue sticking out ? The reverse looks like an envelope.

 

I have seen a coin like that posted on coin talk. You should start your own thread in the Ancients Forum and ask your question there. Those who know the answer will not see your post here. and post a photo if you can.

 

Thanks, alurid, for your helpful suggestions. I'll see what I can do, hopefully, in the not too distant future.
