I picked up a bunch of Lincoln Cents a while back and the collector was evidently, very into chips. He put a number into flips that I have yet to...
I don't see it either, but I do like John's approach. I also see what Paddyman has pointed out. The photos are a touch out of focus and too far...
I know what you are talking about but penetrator marks are incuse. What I see in STATES looks like bumps. Could be a sign of heavier corrosion...
Southernman has the mark on this one.
It is a small S variety. But the large S variety is readily discernable and available in the wild. Of course, not as common but detectable even...
Not always. Mine weighs 4.97grams. Looking at the table above, I have an underweight 1939 planchet with a Dot. So far, I've not seen a...
I agree with our fellow enthusiasts. A 1939 with some environmental toning. What is interesting though is what is going on in STATES. Almost...

Nice!! I find the tilt and the angled lighting help reveal things obscured by odd stains and the like. I didn't see a listing at MadDieClashes...
Question: if you hold a light on edge, can you see a clash?
Give her a cent back...tell her there were 51 cents in a roll. The look you'll get will be priceless!!
I'm doubtful it's a mule as the probability of that occurring is negligible. A quick look on eBay Coins lists these magic coins from around $11...
It depends on how much folks are selling these for. These escape into the wild from time-to-time. I’ve found a two headed nickel and a two tailed...
As already noted, this is a stripped cent, copper removed. My guess is that unless un-plated cents are immediately removed from circulation that...
