[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 832535, member: 4350"]Mike , of course, is right on the money and his suggestions as to what you have visible on your coins is going to be accurate. Pictures aren't needed other than to see if any of the D mint marks that appear doubled are machine doubled or repunched mint marks. The slanted 1 is indeed damage done by a counting/wrapping machine. We see that all the time. Repunched mint marks on circulated 1956 or 1960 cents may turn a 3 cent coin into a coin worth a nickel. And..cents with minor die breaks are worth a dime or less, if that. If the evidence of the die break is huge then the coin might have some value. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
