That is not a Penny.. It's a Dime

Edit* - He corrected the title

 

lol sorry just waking up.

 

When is a Penny a Dime?..
When it's struck on a Dime Planchet!

Mint Error from my collection -

 

I just went out with my nephew for the first time roll hunting. he got me into it. I also found a 1980 p dime that in great condition, and 1981 p dime in great condition and a 1999 misaligned dime in great condition

 

that the 1981 p

 

that's the off center 1999

 

Not an Off Center.. It's just a Misaligned Die Strike. There is a difference.

 

okay, I didn't know that thank you. if you don't mind me asking what the difference between both of them?

 

Sure

thanks for that link paddyman98. It was much help for this noobie.

 

another and last question are these worthy enough to have them graded

 

I say no.. Probably would cost more to grade than what they are worth.

 

thank you

 

Agree with paddy. Nice to look at but the details needed are not there. Not a lot of marks to detract from but the torch and leaves all appear rather mushy, not well defined.

 

For comparison, buy a mint set of the year of your choice. Your modern coins will need to be in better condition than whats in your average mint set to be worth grading.

 

I think im getting better at taking the pics now
