[QUOTE="Protechtinium, post: 2219920, member: 75547"]Hi! Recently my dad found one of those chests that use postal lock doors. We couldn't get it to open at first, but I was watching some TV while I was fiddling with the combination, and I got it to open, which was amazing lol. Anyway when I opened the box, I found tons of cool and old coins, like a 1975 Hong Kong 2 dollar coin, as well as 2 pesos from the same time. So as I was rummaging around through this box, I found some coins that caught my attention. 1. 1955 Wheat Penny To me, it doesn't look special, but I thought I would get some feedback on it's condition (whether or not it's a DD, doesn't look like it.) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/G4zlmCN.jpg[/IMG] 2. 2007 Nickel This may be post-mint, but I think it looks cool, a zombie Jefferson (gash on his forehead!) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qbM6Ril.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7VsZ0j2.jpg[/IMG] 3. 1961 Dime This one caught my eye. I don't know if it's dirt or residue or some sort of oxidation, but again, it looks odd. I was thinking that it may lack lamination. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/krf34jK.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/l252nLc.jpg[/IMG] 4. 1968-D Penny This one REALLY caught my eye. I'm not sure if it's a valuable defect, but it looks interesting enough. The last "T" in "TRUST" seems to be defected. Also, the top of each letter passes the boundaries of the coin. Finally, everything looks somewhat disproportionate. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Lb2CGNb.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UoJxoD0.jpg[/IMG] I'm no expert, so tell me what do you guys think about each coin?
