Can you get a better/clearer/larger picture of the date and mm?

 

Nice! small date/ large date.
Die stage D with the small die chip in the 6.
Cool find!

 

sure
i belive this is a later die state as it has die scraches under in God.

 

There we go. I couldn't see it in the first pictures but that 2nd one at an angle is perfect. Congrats!

 

thanks so what should I do? not sure if I should send it in to be graded what do you all think the value would be

 

PCGS has a MS63 at $125 and MS65 at $185. Yours appears to be about XF with a little damage , so probably in 70-80 range. For some reason the RPM is very light on the second D , which had me and FF a little concerned I am sure. Excellent pull from circulation. Jim

 

so keep in a 2x2 not really worth sending in and spending 60+ for grading fee's

 

There are a few on ebay that sold for ~$40-50. I wouldn't pay to have it slabbed.

 

not looking to sell. sofar I'm starting a collection of DD's it's just nice to know the value

 

When I obtained my first one from a dealer, it was MS-65PCGS and I paid over $400 about 2008, and has gone down as more are graded population. But most interesting coin DD that I can think of having. Jim

 

I have a question. The small date 1960 D are good to keep too right? Because I think I have one. I can start another thread if you'd want me to. Or are they meant to be spent?

 

1 cent. Except for the OP coin, you want the 1960 small date Philly. The Denver is nothing.

 

Personally, I keep them. I don't come across them that often. Worth much? No. But I still hold onto em.

 

It's OK to hold so you have an example of what to look for (1960-P).
But the Denver has no value.
Impressed that the OP was able to find this in circulation after 60 years.

 

I'm not even sure mine is a small date. Is it?

 

I think it is. The small is more of an oval shape and the large is round.
