Hi everyone, As I was going through a box of pennies today, I came across a rather unusual find. A very nice 1962 memorial cent. I’ve never seen a coin in circulation in such good condition before, especially from the 60’s. Upon further inspection, it looks to be a DDO Error? It’s hard to tell on the date, but definitely present on the word “trust”. I’m just wondering if it’s worth it to send it in to be graded. Attached are some pictures of the coin in question.
Welcome to Coin Talk. Your first 2 photos are a little bit out of focus so I can't tell what you have. Check it against this site: http://www.doubleddie.com/307701.html and: http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO 1962.htm
Variety Vista has 37 of them. Some proofs. You will have to try to match them yourself. The photos aren't much help. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO 1962.htm Nice looking cent for a Circulation find.
Yea that's a nice.coin for sure. And yea check it with those publications. They have all the points to look for, to make it authentic. Get used to that before coming in here, because they'll just send.you there anyway. Glad to meet another box of pennies junkie . Lol
