Educate me. This is a variety, error, etc. What would be the price something like this would sell for retail?

 

It's a variety .
Coppercoins price guide say 10 bucks for a brown ms-65 .

 

Man those are some fat numbers and letters.

 

Ya, it's a class 6 .
Which is center doubling ..

 

Nice find man!

 

I found it yesterday in my change ...

 

Man you have the best luck ever. There has to be like 20 people in your town and none of them know about coins haha

 

All the stores in my neighborhood, lock the doors when they see me coming .. Lol ..........

 

Bwahaha yeah me too. Lol they already have the key ready to open the change cover so I can look for silver. "No half dollars today" I hear that in my sleep sometimes lol

 

I see die deterioration but no doubled die.

 

Dude. Undeniably a doubled die. Lol split serifs. Your name says what's on my mind.

 

Tyler, my friend.... where do you see serifs (hint, hint)?

 

Ok, you can see splitting of some kind. I always thought where the red Arrow points would be the serif?

 

In typography, a serif is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface. A typeface without serifs is called sans-serif or sans serif, from the French sans, meaning "without".Wikipedia

SERIF

SANS SERIF

 

Ahhhh. Thanks Kentucky!! I appreciate correctness! I looked up serif on google and it's kind of confusing how it defines serif.

1. a slight projection finishing off a stroke of a letter in certain typefaces.
   
   I figured finishing means the end of every letter or number. The slight projection was where i went wrong. They should have pictures, I think, explaining these kinds of things
   
   Thanks books and Kentucky for the lesson. Appreciate it a lot

 

So I would say it like this "look at the sans serif"
Is that the correct way to say it?

 

Don't think I REALLY know what I am talking about, but I think what you should be looking for is a notch at the end of squared letters (E or such) but it is particularly noticeable if the type is a serif type. So "Look at the notching at the upper left of the E in UNITED" or some such.

 

E serif

E san serif

 

Mm mhm. I understand it now. Haha thanks for walking me through. Makes more sense now.
