Found a few interesting coins while CRH this weekend. One 1943 P wartime nickel showed up in my nickel roll, my second. A 1952 D and 1950 D cents were in pretty good shape. I got my first 2017 P but it has some tiger stripes on the reverse that don't show up in the image. The 1967 cent has some nice toning that also didn't show well in the image. I saved the two 1974's because they seem to have quite a bit of die scrapes. .
First I thought the 74's were spenders. But if they are MS they are keepers. I would spend the 17-P unless it's your best one. There's never going to be a premium for this, they made almost 4 1/2 billion of them. And people saved them because of the P. There are always going to be 100 million+ of these in MS. I always liked the war nickels and the 2 wheaties are nice as well. Nice finds. The 67 would have to be nicer for me to save it. More red needed.
The 74's are in decent shape and when doing the moving around thing in your hand, you can see all the die scrapes. I'll keep them for die scrape examples. First 2017 P, too bad about the tiger stripes. I'll keep it until a better one comes along.
@Numiser The 74's look like that because the die probably accumulated some dirt and grease on the surface, and a brush was used to clean the face of the die. Chris
