    A microscope is too high for grading and you will throw out some good ones if you get sidetracked by all the lines a 30X or higher show.

    Should i get a microscope at 40x ? Cause they have cheap micro's at 20x and go up from there .

    If you are asking if the "D" mint mark got punched into the shoulder area of the portrait, I am going to say no. There is very little chance that someone would miss the mark by that much. Possible, I suppose, but not likely.

    I trust your knowledge of coin's , gonna toss this one back in the box . Thanks for taking a look guys .

  4. Went to the bank to grab a box of pennies and the teller or head teller told me that when the mint gets coins back , old ones that is . They are destroyed and new ones made . Is this true ? Just curious as of lately been getting boxes of brand new 2019 pennies . When a week ago i was getting mix new and old . Or its just luck of the draw and i got what i didn't want .

    I found this 1993 and didn't know if it was striped or just an error.  It weighs approx. 2.48g which is pretty close to 1993 copper pennies.  It is not steel, it doesn't stick to a magnet at all. Any ideas?
