I agree with your wear comment. Other series have issues with varying degrees of flattening (3CN in vertical lines; number of distinct steps in...
I don't see any doubling.
The cheek for me.
I've been looking for a nice 3CS for some time and from what I've looked at I'd guess MS 64/65. The mark on the obverse field that's not a clash...
So what grade is your penny?
I wash my hands, not my coins.
I don't think most of my friends and neighbors know I collect coins. Someone snooping my mail could figure that out but doubt that anyone would...
Add an "S" mintmark to the 1923 and it will be worth 10 times that. If you're interested in finding a coins value there are a number of resources...
You are in the same boat most of us are or have been. I stopped collecting while I was raising a family. I only started back up a few years back...
Machine doubling.
It's tough going through coin auction listings because there are always "can't do without" coins and I tend to stray from my want list. The best...
I got a 1908-S IH which was on the end of one of those so called "un-searched rolls" a few years back and when I got the roll it was easy to tell...
A 68 DCAM recently sold at Great Collections for $2695. Two years ago a 67 DCAM sold for $1210. My guess is $1000 for the one in question. I'm...
Interesting zoomed image; not sure what to make of the MM now.
That's a pretty buffalo!
Fake news!
If were machine doubling I'd expect some doubling on the date as well. Could you post some closer images of the 9 and 5?
I always wanted an early Lincoln proof. I settled for a details 1909 to be easier on the budget. [ATTACH]
I'm in the same boat here but for someone building a set a low grade example may be the only affordable option.
My guess would have been MS 61 or 62 with all of those contact marks.
