<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 26687417, member: 153164&quot;]This is one of those AI photos so terrible that it makes me both laugh and cringe due to the quality. So I must do my work and provide a very not expert anslysis on these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1702915[/ATTACH] </p><p>I&#039;m unsure who put this ad up, but I was getting ready to search some things when I saw this. And since it&#039;s Super Bowl Sunday and I obviously don&#039;t have much to do as I anticipate the Daytona 500, here are my takeaways.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The 1949 penny has a very distorted date, if it&#039;s even a &#039;49 judging by that 2nd 9 (yuck). The coin pictured appears to be in F-15-ish details, cleaned and damaged, aka 3 to 8 cents in value. The lettering looks doubled; correct me if I&#039;m wrong but I&#039;m almost certain there are no major DDOs on 1949 cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. They nearly got the 1910 good except 1910 has a larger date! The date size here matches a 1912-1919. And that one looks to be a damaged 1916, 18, or 19. Or, they may have given up on trying to alter a common date into a 14-D.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. <b>Since when was MS-68 put on a coin? </b>The Mint sure has done more questionable things than I can count but this is definitely not one of them. And it just so happens to be that this coin appears to be cleaned, damaged, and in VF-20 details at best. If I were selling that, it might not even make it to my 25 cent teen wheats.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a firm believer that AI should be saved specifically for meme purposes, but not for generating distorted images of pennies that make new collectors think they&#039;ve just become a (insert number of 0&#039;s after 1 here). </p><p><br /></p><p>I dunno why but this analysis was a thrill to make fun of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
