Looks like a cleaned, environmentally damaged LMC.
These specimens (past threads) look like specimens from a poorly stored hoard of coins. They appear to have environmental damage and crud. Where...
That LCS is generous! Great finds as usual!
My DDO was one of my first significant doubled die specimens. The quick diagnostic on this variety is the abraded obverse die to remove a clash....
@Cheech9712 - their are varieties to look for but this is the one that comes to mind. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
For circulated 1939’s, use the S in PLURIBUS to determine which reverse you have. If it has a serif, then it’s the correct RDV. If it does not,...
This was a fun find by @VistaCruiser69 - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1931-d.410139/ It is unfortunate that it suffered the parking lot...
Coins and Canada is a helpful site. I use that one predominantly but it has gaps.
Also - I have a lighted hand held loop for taking to the LCS or antique shops nearby. Mine has a 10x and 30x loop with LED light. I keep that on...
An inexpensive AmScope with 20x magnification. The particular scope I have can go to a higher magnification but I never use it. And I only use...
More laundromat finds for @71Avalon - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/more-laundromat-finds.410054/ !
Laundromats are cyclers of change. Fresh inputs that are reprocessed in coin changers with the rest going to the bank. It’s a good spot to make...
Possibly. But I’m wondering about design transfer from a clash.
Not overthinking…under processing. Create a checklist to work through. Does the MM have the proper characteristics ( split serifs, location)...
AmScope at 20x for the fine details but realistically I do most of my gleaning using a magnified loop (lighted of course). [ATTACH]
An accumulation of Filipino and Singaporean money. [ATTACH]
But you’re one of our well wishers here and that’s important. You might have hit a dry spell…we all do…but you have your fun finds to recollect....
As I mentioned, this is the second 1969 S DDO I’ve seen reported in a forum. It happens. I’ve not made a $10,000 find. But I’ve found a...
I wasn’t aware. I’ll keep an eye out.
I’m betting it’s legit. This find will make it into remaining periodicals and websites. There are so few of these that a find is real news....
