People, people, Happy New Year..this is gonna be the game changer! Hey, would y'all do me a favor, give me some feedback on this beauty. Just found it laying around, some discoloration, but in good shape I think, ms64? Check out the words, the yeat, front and back. Please dont tell me tnis is all for naught....noooo...thanks everyone. This dime seems thicker and smaller then similiar coins. His facial features and hair look pretty nice, reverse is possible ddr! Thanks everyone. I cut a few sections put for pics, but seriously, look at the entire penny, front and back. Is this for real?
I'm going with damage severe spooning which is why it appears to be smaller still its worth melt value.
I agree with potty that it looks like your coin has been a victim of spooning. You can see more photos here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/dryer-coin-vs-spooned-coin.304963/
Dude, if it was a 1951, the top of the 1 should look different then the top of a 6. And actually, the more I compare it to the rpm in coin facts, due to the bizaare errors, ie cutting off of most of the lettering, this coin is NOT in bad shape, you can easily see the errors, i spotted it laying in front of me. The detail isnt bad, its just doubled and cut off, check out pcgs, please. My scales arent the greatest but it weighs exactly 2.5 gs. Come on you guys, i want you to be excited for me! I am not even into dimes, i am a penny girl. I believe with the amount of errors and cutting, this may be ms66..it looks as good as pcgs just more errors....i believe.
That doesnt explain the rpm, the e in one, the u in united....the spoon didny create those matching marks....
Not an error just damage and circulation its worth melt value around 2 bucks that is not an rpm it is not ms its a very worn damaged coin.
Forget the weighing, it's a waste of time. Given the fat edge and flat detail it looks like pocket change that got loose and spent time bouncing around in a clothes dryer.
