Found this in my pocket change. Looks pretty good for having some age and in circulation. My flash dulled it a lil.
That is a well preserved coin. Most likely it was put back into circulation recently during the great coin release that took place this past summer. It is cool to find a coin like that in change.
This is a 2018 D and was in circulation so it has a couple scratches but looks like a proof or a first strike maybe...
First strike is a gimmick used by tv dealers to sell common coins to fools It is not a proof either. just a newer coin with circulation wear. your cent from above appears to be worn down and cleaned but hard to tell from your pics.
I thought it was just me. Yes they certainly do appear very well struck in comparison to other modern releases.
I know the pics are crappy and they definitely don't do the coin any justice having it look "worn" Thanks for the info. I appreciate the straight forward no bullshit approach. Sorry... Wasn't trying to be another fool with a nothing coin with asking dumb questions. It's was a nice coin thought I'd share it. Ill have better pics for the next one. Thanks again
