1960p TRIPLE DIE FOUND!!!

after comparing to a PCGS one it has all the same markings just mine has been in circulation and not as defined. Its hard to take pics of everything and get the right angles.

More pics its hard to get pics with what I got so if you have a request let me know

 

Notice the thickness of the letters and the die chip on the last pillar of the memorial and how Lincoln is position weird, and just the odd shop of the top of the building, also the disfiguring of the initials FG

 

Here is a pcgs TDO looks very similar just mine has been in circulation

 

Sorry Bryant, the coin you linked is a proof. Yours is a business strike.

 

The photos were toned down. Took it to the local coin shop and the owner also verified it.

 

If it was that good then he would of tried to buy it!!

 

I gotta be honest man, and I do not want to burst a bubble, but based on the pictures provided, NO. Thats a negative.

Your best case scenario is that your pictures do not show what you see in hand. Sorry. I hope you're right though. What does a valid example in this condition go for if authenticated and graded?

 

May I ask what makes you believe this shop owner, if what you say is true, knows what he is talking about? The fact is that owning a shop in no way walks hand in hand with being an expert, and this is particularly true when it comes to varieties. I don't know this fellow and cannot pass judgement, but claiming some shop owner said this or that is meaningless.

 

I seen one about this condition and authenticated priced from $150-200. It really hard to get the right angle and lighting to take a picture. I will have the guy at the coin shop email me the photos he took.

 

He told me if it comes back as a authentic TDO then he will make me an offer.

 

I understand your concern but he is an error buff I will have to see if he will allow me to take pics of his errors all PGCS certified

 

He is an error buff? Is that what he pitched you or what you gathered from his extensive knowledge that was transferred during your conversation. And to be a little more honest, it is going to cost you $35-55 all in to verify this; if one searches the 1960-P auctions available on eBay, they are selling for that price in MINT STATE conditions. Whatever moneys you were going to spend on verifying this coin, if it were mine, I would spend on some books on varieties, grading, etc.

 

It may be a doubled die. I can't tell from the photos, but it definitely isn't the one you linked. As I said before, the one you linked is a proof coin. Yours is a business strike.

 

The one you linked is this coin:

http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1960&die_id=1960p1do004p&die_state=eds

It's a proof large date over small date, tripled die obverse. Not it.

 

I've told myself some of the stuff I've found is a grade or two higher than they look after the buzz of getting a nice piece wears off and a CLOSE inspection w/30x loupe. It pays to be critical before tossing good $ after delusions my friend.....

 

If you've seen this same variety authenticated, this should be fairly easy, especially considering the earlier mention of submitting to PCGS as they do not certify an extensive list of varieties. Simply provide us with what you believe (or this shop fellow believes) to be the proper attribution number so that we, based upon evidence, can confirm or deny it.

 

Details, details....

 

These thread titles are like clickbait. I know better than to click them but I do anyways...

 

I know I know lol, but what is your input on this I know the pictures arnt great but what do you think? I believe it is a large date due to the roundness of the 0 and after looking over it this morning it might be a large date over small date. Its hard to see it but the 9 is rounded at either end but on the inside of the 9 it seems to have a flat spot under the round end like the problems they had with the 1960 small date. If that makes any sense
