My bank had a similar policy, but I assured them that a small discrepancy was not a matter of concern for me. On the flip side, I try to ensure...
Agreed. It looks like the 1907 is inset a 1909 cent. A magician's coin.
Have fun with the setup!!
Coin 1. Better struck, earlier die state, fewer blemishes.
It’s close but hard to say for sure. If these were taken from a single bag and no other specimens were in it then you might have a more definitive...

You are looking at the wrong side of the coin. You have a DDO
Looks like a normal cent. Some Paredolia perhaps, but I'm not seeing that either.
They are trying to profit from this event in all likelihood. You can mix your own:...
As noted, a later die state produced this coin. One of the things to look for is that the outer devices, especially the outer most parts of the...
