60 & 86 Penny

The 1960 penny looked strange as the 9 and 6 looked oversize, but i admit it could be wear

on teh 1986 D penny the mint mark looks rotated and not centered.

thanks!

The "6" on the first one has taken a hit. The second coin looks normal.

 

Weren't there large and small date varieties for the 1960 Lincolns?
Your 1960 may just be a large date variety and I don't think that carries any premium.

 

Large dates dolnt carry a premium, smalls do though

 

There are large and small date varieties for the 1960 Lincoln cents. However, yours is the large date as the 0 is a wide opening.

The variety to look for in the 1960D is the D over D mint mark, and the Large over Small date. That would carry the premium.

 

thanks! i just started collecting and have been pouring over my jug of coins and been getting bags from the bank!

 

Only the P issue carries a premium.
