It's nice that 2 numbers are affected. Y 2 chips. The lower part of the S looksvlije a third chip. Not worth a lot as chipscsrr common but nice...

I'm still laughing

The first and third cent look like the same coin.
The Philadelphia overdate is easy to spot. Not so with the Denver variety. This is a 1942/1-D Mercury Dime. Take a peak at your Red Book and you...
Just give it time as it comes slowly. There is so much sometimes. Do what you can and stop buying from your friends until you do learn.
