Here's the outward end of the 1950 D. You can see outside the outer windows the marks left by the roller. It also had some damage to the high...
I was reasonably sure that it wasn't the one, but the RPM that seemed to have a stem that was as pronounced. As you know, a sharp photo helps...
Alurid triggered a thought. Have a look at this link and the nested links at Error-ref.com - Machine Doubling (error-ref.com)
Cheech - I had a small bucket of AU/BU coins I had accumulated from about 1993 to 2000. I went through it 3 times looking for various varieties....
Regarding photos: blurry and over pixelated make it hard to see anything. Relative to the equipment a person has, the aim is to get the clearest...
Have a look at this link first. 1968d1mm001 Die Variety Information - coppercoins.com I'm not saying this is it, but it can help start this...
Very lucky that you didn't get a circular roller mark on that obverse. I found a 1950 D ender that was AU/BU otherwise.
It looks like to me that most of that damage was from contact in a bag when it was first produced. With it in hand, you are probably in the best...
The diagnostic in this case is the S in PLURIBUS. You have the 1940 RDV, so this was a later production coin. It's in fine condition!! I...
Coppercoins lists from $4-10 or so...but of course, you'd have to find that buyer willing to pay for a minor DDO. Condition in this case is...
I've seen a number of unplated cents during CRH events, fairly obvious frauds. But occasionally, you find some that are either well done...
Thought on die chips/breaks: some anomalies on Zincolns appear as a die chip, but might be zinc rot (hydrozincite). Especially on a quick glance....
It's a fun find to have in your collection, especially if it is authenticated by a TPG. The population estimates for the 43 and 44 are what helps...
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...
