    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.
  6. Just Bob
    It is cool, but not very prominent, so I doubt they would include it on the label.
  7. Just Bob
    NGC does not designate strike related characteristics on proof coins. All proofs are assumed to be fully struck.

    I had no idea, Rick. I am very sorry to hear that.

    I spit coffee when I read that!

    What did it grade?

    A.J. McLeod established a large sawmill, turpentine distillery, and stave mill on the Jourdan river north of Bay St, Louis, MS around 1910. His wife, Virginia, and nephew, Norton Hass, continued to operate the mills into the 1950s. Tokens are known in denominations of 5, 25, and 50 cents, and one dollar. There are, oddly, no 10 cent tokens known to exist.

    According to this website and this website, no.

    "OP" = original poster, or original post. In other words, the person who started the thread, or their opening post.

    Those definitely aren't the worse close-ups I have seen on this forum. Nice job. I am going with the abuse theory. I think the rims, edge, and devices were all worn down excessively, either accidently or on purpose. Welcome to the forum.

    Sorry, but the pictures aren't clear enough for me to offer an opinion. I can't tell what is chatter from what may be lighting or in the plastic. I could go AU58 to MS64 from those pictures.

    The picture of your second cent is a little fuzzy, but, if that is a blob of metal above "f AM," it appears to be a die chip. When a chip is on the rim, like yours, it is called a "cud." Striking errors on one side of a coin will sometimes effect the other side, as well, so, if possible, always try to post pictures of both sides. For example, if this is really a cud, it would not surprise me if there were a tiny bit of weakness on the rim obverse rim.

    Welcome to The Forum Although it may seem odd that a 50 year old coin is only worth face value, the fact is that they are actually quite common, and can often be found in circulation. Unless it is in pristine condition, it's only worth $0.01.
  18. Just Bob
    I don't see anything on this coin that would make it worth more than silver value, which today (11/13/20), is $4.48. The same goes for the other quarter that you posted. Nice close-ups, though.

    Here is a thread from 2010 about the same medal: https://www.ngccoin.com/boards/topic/194149-1978-national-medal/
  20. Just Bob
    Clearer pictures might help with the identification, but here is an Ebay page with a few "sold" listings of the Valley Forge medal: \Click here

    Well, that is a nice gift. As scopru said, the coin has environmental damage, which, in this case, is rust, since it's made of zinc coated steel. It doesn't look like it's been replated, so the surfaces are original, and that's a good thing. But, these are much more common than most people realize. So it really doesn't have a whole lot of value, except as a Keepsake, or Conversation Piece.
  22. Just Bob
    Welcome to the forum. Did you find this in circulation?
  23. Just Bob
    Would anyone besides me carry this as a pocket piece for a year or so, to see if would wear down to about F/VF and become "market acceptable?"
  24. Just Bob
    That is one of the books on my Christmas wish list.

    Nice close-ups. Welcome to the forum. I am sorry for your loss. I hope your grandfather lived a full and happy life. It is good that you have something that has been passed down from him. May I suggest reading this thread, which deals with inherited collections? It contains a lot of good information, Link to thread here
