    The subject of my last post, A.J. McLeod, owned a number of mills, stores, and other companies in the Bay St. Louis/Waveland/Kiln area. This is another token from one of his lumber stores in Kiln, MS. Kiln was known for its lumber, turpentine and charcoal industries. After the forests were depleted, during the Depression, the area was famous for its moonshine production.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you, as well.

    I don't appreciate being called a fool, but what is your point?

    Unfortunately, the 10th has been watered down to the point of being almost inconsequential, or, at least ineffectual.

    I was going to say the same thing, but you did a much better job than I would have. Thank you for that good post.

    Hitting the bong a little early this morning, aren't we?

    Some paint thinner is mineral spirits, which is not the same thing as acetone. Look for a can that says "Acetone" on the label.

    And, plastics containing PVC will often smell like a new shower curtain.

    Follow the link below to the Variety Vista website. If you find what looks like a match for your coin, you can click on that picture, and get more pictures of different areas of the coin, with any die chips, cracks, and polishing marks that you can use to identify your particular coin. 1957D RPM page link

    I personally find die clashes very interesting, but I don't know if I would pay extra for one, unless it was really special looking.
  12. Just Bob
    That looks like doubling from die erosion.

    Not an error. Just poor quality. It is not worth any premium. Sorry.

    I have a different take on this coin. The weak area is opposite Lincoln's shoulder, one of the higher areas on the obverse. There is not enough metal to fill both sides, so the letters in this area are often weakly struck. The obverse portrait relief was lowered in 1984 to help solve the problem, but I have seen this same issue on cents dated 1985.

    I hope everything is okay with the little guy. Have you ever tried Wizard Coin Supply?

    I think the spots would be more likely to reduce the grade if it were a high-end coin, but the lower eye appeal would almost certainly reduce the value.

    Please don't take offense to my next question, because it is not meant in any kind of negative way. I'm genuinely curious why new posters do this: You applied 10 different tags to your post. What is the purpose of that?

    It appears to be a normal, circulated 1964 D Lincoln cent.

    This one is giving me problems. It has what appears to be wear in some spots, but there are other spots where I would expect to find wear, but see none. It makes me wonder if there were die and/or strike issues that caused it to look worn. I am going to err on the side of caution, and call it AU.

    Welcome to the forum. That appears to be die deterioration doubling, not a doubled die. This type of doubling does not add a premium to the value.

    As with the cents in your other post, this one would not be worth the cost of grading. Since these can still be found in circulation, it is only worth 25 cents. Keep hunting.

    Welcome to the forum. I second the above responses.
  23. Just Bob
    It is cool, but not very prominent, so I doubt they would include it on the label.
  24. Just Bob
    NGC does not designate strike related characteristics on proof coins. All proofs are assumed to be fully struck.
  25. Just Bob
    I had no idea, Rick. I am very sorry to hear that.
