I am not challenging anybody, but just trying to learn. This 1939-D is graded MS-66FS. I thought FS meant all the steps went all the way across...
That's an impressive die break, especially the shift over the date. Nice!
I think probably the idea was to convey the perspective of looking way up to Washington on his horse, with the lower parts closer to the viewer...
I'd keep it. It will never be worth a fortune, or probably much exceed inflation over the years, but it's nice.
On the road too long. I pick up lots of these along the roadside when I ride my bicycle. Nickels, dimes, quarters, too. Once in a while a...
It looks to me like an adhesive of some sort. The remnants of the shield showing on Lincoln are most likely because two cents were glued together...
Have you tried distilled water on the glue? I'd try that before I tried acetone. It might be sufficient and you'd be no worse off if it didn't work.

The answers above are entirely correct. However, I still think it is a pretty cool find! It does look like a bird sitting there. I'd keep it in...

The pictures are still too blurry to tell much. But buffed or not, the coin is a spender.
I have found many coins with similar appearance. I ride my bicycle a lot, and people apparently just toss their change out the window these days....
I haven't been on their list that long, but I am on the list.
Where can Verdi-Care be bought online? I have searched but found no dealer who carries it and has it in stock. There are no local coin dealers...
Good grammar lessons, but not to the OP's question. The next to the last penny's picture seems to show a good example of mechanical doubling, but...
I'm no expert, but it looks like an error to me. I can't tell if it is a cracked die or a strike-through. The 7 in the date looks wonky, too,...
Thanks for the confirmation!
Thanks for the info!
Definitely agree with this. I was hoping someone would be familiar enough with the coin or the writing to fill in the gaps for me. The more I...
I'm afraid I have virtually no knowledge of either Chinese or Chu Nom, and the characters on my coin are difficult to read because of corrosion. I...
