[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 713333, member: 4350"]Hi Miss Sasha, I don't want to appear to be cruel, but none of what you discovered has any value except possibly the 1989 D that you think may be an RPM. One of the problems once someone starts to work with a microscope is that things that are nothing look bigger than they really are. For example, the off center cents are probably minor misaligned die strikes. The SSS coin that you mentioned is probably damage caused by contact with another coin having a reeded edge. The 1999 cent with doubling on "GOD" is going to be some form of machine doubling or die deterioration doubling. The point that I am trying to make is that the lighting and the greater magnification will trick your eyes for awhile. You will see more of the damages as bigger and think that they are something worth keeping. I am just trying to be realistic so that you don't have a pile of worthless pennies sitting around in a box someplace. It is better, in my humble opinion to toss those back and use the money to get more coins to search through so that you can find the good stuff. Please don't take what I said wrong. I am only trying to help. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
