Conservation Results: 1959 1 Cent Struck on a Silver Dime

Here are the side-by-side photos I promised long ago... The coin changed grades from an AU-58 to an MS-63.

And now it looks like a 63

good job

 

How or who did the conservation?

Oh wait.. It was NGC. I see the prongs from the slab.

 

Excellent piece and that should be in your next book.

 

I have one struck on a Clad Dime Planchet.
Purchased from Fred Weinberg..

 

Very nice.

 

Unbelievable ain’t it?

 

Liberty is different. Where’s the left L

 

Nice observation Cheech.

Seems there are some variations to the rim thickness by the L in LIBERTY as well as by the second 9 in the date.

 

Glad you like it, but It's not an "11-cent" piece. That would be a cent-on-dime double denomination

 

The "L" is missing because...it is a smaller planchet

 

Joe, if you look at the obv of the preserved coin in the first pic, you can see a smidge of the horizontal bar of the L. In the pre-preserved pic that piece of the L is totally missing.

I see what Cheech is saying.

Thoughts?

 

ahhhh.

well, the PCGS holder was covering it

 

Those grades are but a spit of wear away from one another. I think it's pretty clear from the photos--the jaw/cheek separation, shoulder and collar sharpness--there was no wear on this coin to begin with.
