I bought a Original Bankroll Wrapped roll of 1958 D Cents. These coins look as though they were minted yesterday. Most pristine roll I've ever opened. Strang thing is the mint mark on most of the coins and the reverse. The mint mark is very high..almost touching the 9 in many cases. And on the reverse the "O" in one is smashed in at the 11:00 position and E. PLURIS is almost ilegable in many cases when the mint mark is so high. But the rest of the devices look awesome. Also the "58" in 1958 looks slightly doubled to me in some cases.Anyone ever seen this before? Please look at pictures and the mint mark position. Three different coins. Compare mint mark positions to this 1958 D Sold on Teletrade. http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=2622&lot=1104&imagetype=j2 Read more: http://www.cointalk.com/t81862/#ixzz0YnXMn3Lq
Also I assume the doubling of the "58" is not too unusual?...Still they are nice coins. Seller sold out of all those rolls of OBW weats...
1963-P Franklin Error??? This 1963 half struck off center. but do you thing it off enough to be called an error??
From the i in liberty to the t the rim step and 1/2 of the reeds on the in not there.but the extra photo I tried to edit out & it did not work
I called PCGS about this Lincoln cent and the very high dates...Some mint marks are actually touching the date on several. They told me that was def a variety coin. What variety he didn't know. Seems about 3/4 of the roll are high dates either left or right.
I am sorry but PCGS doesn't know what they are saying. The dates are not variable but the mint marks which were punched into the dies by hand can be in different locations. The variations of the mint marks locations are not considered varieties. They are not errors either as it was a normal part of the minting process prior to 1990 when the mint marks were added as a part of the original design. These are slightly collectible if the mint mark actually contacts the date. Thanks, Bill
