Here is the page for the 1974: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1974.html
The 1974 which is not as well known is subtle. The 4 is thicker in the LD. The others: 1960, (small/large), 1970-S, and 1982. There are also a...
.01 cent. There's only 1 1982-D small date copper. Out of 17 billion cents made that year between Philly and Denver, large date or small date,...
I was wondering about the lifetime guarantee. Is that a normal thing with ancients?
$10 doesn't seem like too much. They must be taking a loss on the grading fee? What do these usually run? It is MS-65. It can always be an X-Mas...
I've gotten a couple of hauls like that. There is usually something that gets rejected, and sometimes the stuff behind it comes down. The user is...

Can't remove it. But I am interested to know the terms of the deal. Walking around with a lantern looking for an honest person, and all that. It's...
You should not get it graded. That is ridiculous advice. You don't spend $30 for grading on a coin that is worth at most .10 cents. And probably...
Yes. I agree. Usually the MAD's are slight. This one is wide enough to have value. Nice one.
Kurt beat me to statutes of limitation. He is under no obligation. He could remember you, remember the coin, and if he is a good guy, he would let...
They made 17 billion pennies that year. Most of them are large dates, but there's plenty of small dates. Possibly 3 billion between Philly and...
Only the 1982-D small date copper. And there's only one of them. Although your Philly small date appears to be in good condition. I would save it,...

Well, I looked at those 5 photos, and I have no idea what I am supposed to see. You win.
