I think that these minor varieties help to keep searchers engaged to a degree but they are time consuming to look up just to find it unlisted. I...
Looks like a normal LD cent to me on my phone.
Around $5 or less. What’s interesting is that the date is available on small % off center. Perhaps that might drive up the price a bit.
Sam - thoughtful post. There is tons to learn and explore, most of it won’t make you rich or appreciably richer. But you will catch an...
Are you referring to the VDB on the lower, left edge of the shoulder/bust? That's a nice circulation find worthy of keeping. Check the D to see...
What I find interesting is that the reverse intersection point on your coin (and at the link I provided) has a more rolled appearance typically...
Stabilizing as best you can is what’s important. I’ve not done broader research on conservation but it’s on my to-do list. We all have our problem...
Yup to both. DDR lusting at Brian’s site might offer more input on markers. I’m not near a computer or I’d check.
Lol. Mine are bloodshot!

Same here. Using my bottle of Verdi-care sparingly (conserving that too!).
https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1938-5c/4175 Note the reverse on this doesn't have the squared rim...there's hope!!
I don't think so, but a nice looking coin just the same. Front kind of has the squared rim, but the reverse looks business strike. Perhaps just...
It's worth a shot. Test it on common coins first so you know what the effects are.
I'm with Islander again. Conserve the coin with Verdi-care. That's too bad...maybe someone sneezed nearby that coin at one point 40 years ago....
