[QUOTE="Volture, post: 2143553, member: 74098"]I know I'm new here and I just want to point out that I know this coin might be pmd. But don't we all want to find coins like this? Also the X marks the spot comment killed me and my wife. Funny stuff!!!! There's gold in that there coin... arrrrgggggg Also I did send like two pictures to Fred Weinberg of this coin. He replied with this.. Sean, Thanks for the scans. Here’s the info on your coins: 1. The 1960-D Cent is damaged - someone cut the X on both sides. It’s not an error coin of any type. 2. The 1925 Cent has a common ‘lamination’ on the obverse. It’s worth a few dollars, and the only place to sell such an item would be on Ebay….too common for any dealer to make you an offer. 3.The Mexican coin is 10% off center - a genuine error, but the coin appears to be cleaned - it’s worth $5+ on Ebay. Hope this info helps….they’re not for me, and as mentioned, Ebay is the only venue for the last two items. Fred What I don't understand is why is the mouth area of Abe flat with no texture? It's a perfect outline of his chin. My thoughts were that maybe just maybe something got into the coin when it was struck. I am going to put this coin away because I do love my find. Thanks everyone for your comments. [ATTACH]410470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]410471[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410471[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
