<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3779977, member: 91609&quot;]Yes, &amp; some of these pics look like the same ones you posted for the 1967 cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins you are posting, for the most part suffer from 2 problem areas:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1)&nbsp; They are well circulated, hence, they are damaged by circulation.</p><p>(2)&nbsp; These coins were produced in the hundreds of millions (in the case of the 1959 D, 1st yr of the LMC, they made <b><i>1,279,760,000</i></b>;&nbsp; as in 1 <b><i><u>Billion</u></i></b>), resulting in many overused dies, thereby resulting in &quot;machine doubling&quot; &amp; &quot;die deterioration doubling&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you&#039;re posting many coins &amp; we certainly encourage that, &amp; you&#039;ve received some excellent advice &amp; resources on other threads.&nbsp; As you learn about the minting process &amp; coins in general, less of your time will be consumed by these common specimens &amp; you will have much more enjoyment in your collecting endeavors. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you don&#039;t already have a Red Book, I would strongly suggest you acquire one (doesn&#039;t have to be new, 2 or 3 yrs old is OK); it&#039;s the #1 resource for US coin collectors.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun with this!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
