If you go to lincolncentresource.com and read the section there on Large and Small dates that it will help you. The info on the 1974 production...
Yep. My bad…those dots are supposed to be there. So one is missing, the 9 is wrong, the 2 is wrong and it looks like a cast fake. You...
I don’t see any evidence of polishing, but I don’t like the dot between the E&T of WE TRUST. …calling all Winged Liberty experts to chime in…Spark
Much better…and now you aren’t guessing. Now you have knowledge as ammunition to make your case at AU55. That is a very nicely preserved ‘42...
No. Your Red Book has grading guidelines that will help you get in the right ballpark. Wear on a coin stops and starts at MS60. Your 1942 wheat...
@PamR …so, tell me and the rest of us…what grade would you assign to it? (Please let Pam answer first)…Spark
It looks like a lamination or improperly mixed alloy issue, imo. BTW, …did you know it is a large date?…Spark
Did not happen at the Mint. PMD…imo…Spark
…I read the entire post…I always do before I respond…but thanks for clearing that up…Spark
Saying this as gently as I can, the only one that looks nice is the ‘64, and it is a weak strike ( no memorial steps ). The others have wear,...

@PamR …you should also know by now that if you suspect doubling you need to verify the variety at Variety Vista and/or Wexler before posting....
@alurid only gave you the truth. Big mistake calling him a troll. There are other forums you can join if you wish…imo…Spark
Probably struck on a light planchet…AND, I have also seen clad coins, including those from the Bicentennial years, be struck where no copper shows...
You would be wrong. That is a large date.
Thanks P&G for that link. It does indeed look like the capped mint mark…I would put a grade of AU50-53…imo…Spark
Looks like it might have slight, minor doubling to the ear lobe…please post a better close-up of the ear…make sure it is clear and in focus…
Damage and wear. Because of this, it is next to impossible to confirm any attribute unless it is overwhelmingly prominent…imo…Spark
Just PMD. Looks like the 6 has been hit at least twice…Spark edit: Please take caps lock off.
Whoever had it previously could have been of German ancestry, but the more I look at it…”Shift” seems to make more sense. But no doubt about it,...
