Last 2 for the day 89d idk on reverse and 86d ridge ring or incomplete punch and reverse side

And 86d column on stairs one is larger than the other

 

Very slight misaligned die on the 1989 D, but not enough to matter. The 1986 is from a later die state but nothing unusual.

 

If you look at anything real close or with high magnification you can always find a deviation or anomaly of one kind or another. I don't see anything unusual.

 

Just normal cents.

 

Please don’t post a series of ordinary pocket change pennies. They are all worth 1 cent. Everybody thinks they have a DDO, and they are uncommon.

 

If you don't like my post don't comment and 2 I asked for an opinion if it could possibly be it a match them as close as I can before I post a thought on what it might be. And 3 in my eyes the grading goes a lot further then the error.

 

What type of research do you do before posting a thread? What sources do you check? You shouldn't expect us to do the work for you.

 

I see striations on the '86D but other than that nothing of any value, sorry. Keep um coming...

 

As our fellow enthusiast notes, slight MAD and later dies state. A couple of thoughts:

• Both are decent circulation finds. I am building a role set, so coins in this condition usually get added to the respective tubes (especially D mint since I'm on the East Coast and these don't come up to often in change). They look like they are probably MS specimens, but better photos would confirm that an rule out other deterring factors.
• Later die state coins have common characteristics amongst the Zincolns. The substrate material (zinc) is less malleable so the flow is different than for solid copper cents. This results in shorter die life (because of attrition) and higher tool maintenance (cleaning up dies). The ridge ring is common as a result, especially for the 80's coinage where things were still be worked out, I suppose). Although the RDV for this date has narrow fonts, you can see that they appear narrower and uneven. This is especially common on the pillars in the Memorial. Thicker/thinner is quite common and set off by the proximity of an adjacent column. Add in a clash or two...they become ill defined and wobbly looking.
• Both dates have the possibility of RPMs...and coins in a higher grade make a find like that more attractive. So I always look a little harder at the 'shiny pennies'

 

No need to be rude.

 

It's going to be tough to only get opinions that you agree with. You have received honest opinions and the truth in this thread.

 

What is your response to the thread issues/questions/statements?

 

There just normal coins mabey you need to take a break do some research and then learn the processes.

 

I agree on some opinions but still think there is more there than just a MAD

 

Not meaning to be rude but people just want you to do your own research and post about coins that are more than normal pocket change. We all have normal pocket change we can admire if we want!

 

Okay I just want to know how do you indent a coin and not damage the layers
