    Hi everyone and thank you all for the information.

    Can anyone tell me any information on the dot in the “O” in God penny and the Kennedy facing Lincoln penny? Thank you again

    The Kennedy facing Lincoln is known as a counter stamp.
    A company intentionally put that image onto the coins after they were minted. Technically it is damage, but people do collect them.
    You can also see coins like this of different years with Kennedy on them,
    and with the shapes of all 50 states, another common counter stamp.
    I don't see a dot in the O but if there is, it's not a big deal.
    The nicest coin you have is the 1953-D because the condition is excellent.
    IDK if the indirect die transfer increases the value, but people collect them.

    First of all, welcome to CT, but your photos are too poor to even see a "dot" so it isn't possible to come to any conclusion. You should photograph obverse and reverse of coin, properly orientated, in focus and out of the 2x2, with close ups of any areas you have questions about, and post them as FULL IMAGE so members can easily view and enlarge them. Just guessing but the "dot" could possibly be a small die chip.

    The counter stamped coin is known as a novelty. Just google novelty coins. You be amazed what comes up.

    As for the dot in O in the word GOD, it's hard to see anything but it's probably a die chip in the O and it's worn.

    Thank you for taking the time, there’s so much to learn and read about but I’m having fun. Thanks for the information on the 1953-D.

    Hello and thank you!!!

    Sounds good I will take some better shots. Does taking them out of the cardboard and plastic run the chance of any damage to the outside metals of pennies ?
    Thanks again

    what would you all say the best place to get a value on the 1953-D. I’m not looking to turn a penny into a dollar but I’m just interested so I can tell my grandpa who actually gave me a lot of the pennies. He had a larger collection that he sold in 86 and 87 and passed the left over on to me.

    Thank you for the information on the counter stamp I was really interested in it and its well one of my favourites just because I like the spade! I’ll check out eBay?

    Heads up!
    One of our pet peeves around here is that the coins are cropped so that there is no extra background in the photos. (you have done this pretty well)
    The next is that they are posted in full size.
    When you upload a photo as you did, click the full size option otherwise all the photos will be thumbnails. This will help a lot of us who are on laptops and computers a nice clear photo.

    Just remember the clearer bigger and most detailed photos, gets you the best answers to your questions.

    Perfect, I will note that. Struggled a bit with my camera and I’m not a big poster on any website but this peeked my interest: give me a bit I’m a fast learner!

    thank you again though very much for the heads up, would hate to tick people off who have been at this a while especially since I need their/ yours opinion on my coins...

    It is never a tick to anyone. Just we like to get our answers right. lol
    And always a plus if you have extra cardboard flips. Taking the coin out, gets a lot of us a better view of the surfaces.

    That looks like a beautiful MS RD Lincoln.

I have retaken the pictures of them out of the flips tell, me what you all think! Also I added two towards the bottom that, rookie mistake, my grandpa and I cleaned to see them better with some salt vinegar water mix. After reading a bit more I think that was a big mistake..
