Well you have a complete die variety set. :) Both of them.
Maybe it wasn't quite 17 years, I thought I got banned before the book came out in 2003, maybe it was a little later. I did talk more over there...
Went and had a real good time. Thursday was a LONG day for me I got up Wed morning at 6:00 AM to get some work done on a club newsletter some...
That says something. Gone 17 years and the people there still miss me.
Interesting. I wonder if this could be an example of ejection doubling. The rising anvil die causes the coin to make contact with the hammer die...
A STRONG clash can sometimes transfer clashmarks onto the shallow relief areas of a coins design, but it is unusual. You will note the clashmarks...
I was banned there almost 17 years ago. If they don't want me, why should I beg to be let back in?
There aren't a lot of people trying to collect die variety sets of late date cents so with the exception of the very rare varieties there isn't...

Is it a 1969 S? Yes it is. Is it the valuable DDO 1969 S? No it isn't.
Your attribution is correct, it is N-23 without a doubt. I would put it in the VF-20 to 25 range.
You don't do anything. It was a gift and it was theirs to do with as they pleased. But if you give them any other coins do a better job of...
They DID use wide AM reverses in 1995, on proofs. None are KNOWN to have been used for business strikes in 1995, but they weren't supposed to...
Thanks guys.
On the PCGS US coins forum I need someone to pass a comment on to ECHOES in this thread...

Separate names with a comma.
