I agree with everyone else....your coin has post minting damage that looks like an s, but that's it.

And I third it. A copy of the Red Book should be one of the very first purchases for anyone looking at getting into U.S. Coins. Tons of good information in there for a very good price.

No worries Woods......I got ya. I mentioned that in my reply . Between the two of us, we hit it all....you adding much more than I did. Well done, I must say.

This exactly, Wayne. Woods just laid out the clear path to success on this board. If you follow this advice, you should be able to get a good start both in the hobby and on the NGC Boards.

See my other posts. We need good clear photos of both sides of the coins to help you further. However, this inquiry is that extremely rare one we can do without photos. All 1979-S Anthony Dollars are Narrow Rims and all 1980 Anthony Dollars from all three mints are the Wide Rim. It is only the 1979-P coin that has both varieties. Your coins are completely normal for their respective dates and mints.

Hello and Welcome, Wayne. Well, to tell you anything about your coins, we'll need good, clear photos of both sides of the coin. Without good, clear photos, it is impossible to tell you anything about what you have. If you can get some good photos and post them up here, then we may be able to help you.

I think Woods if right on with his instincts about the coin gaining its toning in a coin album.....when I worked at the coin shop, I dismantled my fair share of silver coins in Dansco and Whitman albums that had been in them for years and many of the coins had similar gold edge toning.

I like ANACS, too, James. I have a couple of their coins as well and I really like how ANACS grades ancients, actually. That may be an unpopular opinion with some, but I've been know to have those from time to time.....I'm typically reviled for my intense dislike of Liberty Head gold coins, to cite an example.

You've got me there, my friend. I have no experience getting photos from my phone to my computer, sadly. I photograph my coins and notes with my digital camera and upload them to my computer from the camera. I'm hoping someone can help you with this though, I'd like to learn myself.

Hi Greg! Thankfully, I do have some experience in this area. In looking at your coin, it's not the proof version. It's a circulation strike. If you look at it, there's some striking weakness on the leaves on the reverse that wouldn't be there on a proof as a proof would have been struck at least twice. Also, there are far more marks on the coin overall than you would expect with a proof due to the care taken in striking a proof coin. It's a nice and well preserved circulation strike, but a circulation strike nonetheless. I hope that is of some help, my friend. ~Tom

Woods has it right on.....it's a Large Date, which is a very obvious variety discern. If it had been anything less obvious than a 1982 cent date size inquiry, the photos posted would have been completely useless. In the future, your photos need to be much better for us to help you.

Indeed not. That's one token that has had an extremely rough and corrosive life.

Definitely. The market consistently shows that both NGC and PCGS are acceptable and respectable. There's nothing wrong with having a collection with coins holdered by both companies in it.

Jonathan has this nailed 100%. That cent is no kind of variety or error and it's worth face value.

I'm bumping my thread so Researchcoins' cyber defecation isn't the first thread that pops up on the Coin Marketplace.

You are so welcome. Your Morgans are just fine then. As for the ASE's.....I'd probably just leave them as they are. They likely wouldn't cross as 70s at NGC or PCGS and they're modern bullion coins, so I wouldn't worry about them too much. I'd say your Morgans are the important coins and they're a-ok.

I wouldn't even be surprised one bit, Quintus. They definitely have a thing for this one restaurant in my village, that's for sure.

Oh yeah....they are. Sorry I missed that LemE. I think I was just so shocked at the prices that the labels didn't compute. Thanks for pointing that out.

In the Finger Lakes Region of New York, I rarely see D's and when I do, they're typically from the 1990s or early 2000 at the youngest. You're actually more likely to find newer Canadian coinage in my area than newer Denver coinage. It's all P's here.

They have to be. The ones I've seen in rolls have been pretty lackluster...no way any of them would make a 69, or even a 66!! Those fields on the obverse get marked up pretty quickly, it seems.

All great points, GoldFinger. Especially about buying coins already certified by NGC or PCGS.

All good points Greenstang. I've seen mint marks in several different positions on Jefferson Nickels of the 1968-1970 date range from both San Fran and Denver.

It sounds like you got a good haul there, Bill!! Well done!! And I think you'll dig the proof Loonie. Loonies are damned attractive coins when they're proofs. Absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion. Especially the original design ones from 1987, 1988 and 1989.....those in proof are just amazing.

Nice pickups, Bill!! Since you're talking proofs and Toonies, have you checked out proof Toonies? They're actually really cool looking coins in proof.

I'd say there definitely are more WCDs than Tuskegees out there. I've never acquired a full roll of Tuskegees but I've received many, many solid rolls of 2021-P WCDs and I continue to see a very large number of them in circulation. WCDs are anything but rare, actually, and I'm honestly thinking that they're becoming way overhyped. I think they're going to be a 21st Century version of the 1909-VDB Lincoln Cents and 1883 No Cents Liberty Nickels.....one year types that are heavily saved, keeping the values down in the long run while maintaining a modest premium over other modern Washington Quarters because of the one year type status. However, I highly doubt that they'll remain $400 coins in MS 69. I think that there's going to be a very large population of these coins in high grade not too long from now as people continue submitting them to NGC and PCGS. They're definitely not rare and they never will be.
