Yeah we need pics. Is it a proof or not?

 

Old county boys are the best. We trusted them to be straight and true in the Civil War. They did their best and are still the gentlemen of our country. Welcome. I live in Chicago where nothing grows upward but on concrete.

 

You going to the central states show?

 

Hello, I'm an newby also. So be nice. I've have an question on an 1986 error penny that's very funny to me. Liberty) it says llberty not liberty. No mint mark. B

 

Start a new thread and post some pics of what ya have.......and welcome to the forum dear Lady.

 

Just did pictures soon.

 

Post the pic in the 'error section' Mae. You'll receive many responses......

 

Not good with this site. How? If you have time to type directions lol.

 

It says liberty. The L either got damaged or it was struck through grease. Based on what looks like a ring going around the outside edge, I'd say the L was damaged by a coin rolling machine.

 

I know this is an old post but I have a 1968 Dime with no mint markings... Upon research, it seems that I may have a philly version which was also made without markings and worth about .10 lol. However I figured that since I'm not really sure what a "proof" coin looks like, I would upload a few pics fotr you pros to let me know what you think! Thanks in advance!

 

Here we go again.........

Got any pictures?

 

Way to take point green! Brave.

 

Yessir...

Just a normal Philly dime unfortunately. The odds of a no mintmark proof showing up in circulation are pretty much zero.

 

Just a well traveled business strike Joe.

 

I am an uber noob at this coin collecting thing but am trying to learn as I go... What makes this coin, not the one?

 

It does help to see any proof in hand, but here's a start.

@JoeCool

Check out these photos Joe. I've employed a regular business strike, pulled from my pocket change, and a 1970 (S) proof. Although it's not a '68 the process for making proof issues does not change from year to year and the differences between the two methods of manufacture should be most evident.





Quite obviously, the business strike is on the left. Now compare the rims of the two coins. The proof exhibits a well struck sharp and squared off rim while the business strike lacks definition and is slightly rounded. The fields of the proof are mirrored and even on an impaired proof (a proof coin that has seen circulation) you will still see some of this mirrored effect. Hope this helps.......
