<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tyler Graton, post: 2806918, member: 85787&quot;]If you couldn&#039;t tell already, I looove finding them woody pennies. Even though they are pretty common, I still love em. Got me an alright condition small date, 1960 D, with die chips on the reverse. You can find the die chips on the edge of the building, on your right side, right in between the pillars and the roof (on the edge) and you can find another die chip right under the T in cent (below the left cross bar) checked for ddo. Nothing that I can see. But I am happy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I am starting to wonder if this is the reason why the govornmemt decided to use zinc instead of copper platchets. Because I&#039;m seeing so much improper alloy mix pennies showing up in 1980s, three years later they change metals. Hmmmm might not be entirely the whole reason why they did it, but it could have broke the camels back. ( I realize this is most likely not fact, but it makes sense to me!) and another thing I thought of, did the mint employees just get lazy because they knew of the upcoming changes/were getting trained on one thing (Training on zinc plating process, and forgetting standard practice and procedure? I&#039;m trying to think of why it all of a sudden starting happening a lot in the 1980s. These are all the reasons I could come up with. Don&#039;t know if there is anyone who has read more on why it started happening a lot in the 80&#039;s? Would love to read more about that subject. Anyways enjoy. and happy hunting<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>If you look closely at the CA in America at the bottom, i believe that&#039;s where the chip came from. Not sure if that&#039;s true (that you can sometimes find where die chips occurred, but my mind seems think it could be. Sometimes I look at die chips and I really can&#039;t tell where it came from, and they are massive)[ATTACH=full]655834[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]655835[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]655836[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]655837[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]655838[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]655839[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
