Since the W cent is ONLY with the uncirculated set, there won't be any of those. Rather than hunt for errors (a bad coin), why not hunt for exceptional mark-free coins (unusually GOOD coins)? Full cartwheel or even proof-like luster with a strong full strike and no sign of miscellaneous hits or marks. THAT is what numismatics once was, not this quasi-maniacal search for imperfection, but rather for near-perfection.

The W coins to pick from 2019 circulation are quarters, not cents.

So the circulated  W coins are the Quarter's i thought it was the Cents . Thank you for clearing that up for me VKurtB . Also i think i will take your advice and pick the exceptional coins out rather than the hunt for errors or bad coins . Sounds like fun to me . Although a scope 10x would be nice . I'll have to pick one up . Any certain kind of equipment you guys use to look at coins or handle them ?

I was wondering when the mint was going to release a certain coin into circulation that we should be keeping an eye out for . Was it the 2019 S penny ? Or is it the 2019 W penny that's offered for free when you buy a set from the mint , Or something else ?

Can't seem to find anything on this as i have a brand new box of 2019 pennies from the bank i opened and don't know if i should go threw them or not ? For errors and rare coin if its released .

Is there an easier way to tell the difference between DDO and DDD , Or just experience ?

If your referring to the bottom of the Obverse, then that is DDD. ( Die Deterioration Doubling )

Had a feeling it wasn't DDO , Thank you for taking a look for me though .

I was going threw some dimes when i came across this dime , so looks like doubling but I'm not a pro .

Need some help with this .

And a few 1978's and 1981's in great condition ..

This is a 1962 i found in a roll of coins from the bank . Pretty nice condition and it has like a glow to it .

Was wondering what MS would you rate this 1980 Penny if ya had to ?

Its pretty darn clean and nice color .

A 1957 wheatie, and most any other wheat cent after the early 30s, needs to grade MS67 in order to be worth the expense of having it graded. (and, even then, it may not be worth it monetarily, unless you are a registry participant). Your coin will not grade that high, in my opinion.

Oh ok , thank you

I been searching for that coin The CAM and the one you have is not it Sorry man .

I think your right , i also looked it up on other sites and googled some pictures . I guess 1957 was a year of die deterioration . But was a nice rush .

The pictures are a bit too fuzzy for me to be sure, but it looks like die deterioration to me. Not a doubled die, in my opinion.

 

Do you think i should Submit this coin just cause of the condition or don't bother ?

Welcome to the Forum

We are going to need to see a clear picture of both sides of the coin, especially seeing that there are only a couple of known 1949 Wheat cents.

 I have a 1949 Wheat

I just recently looked at the coin close up 5x mag looks like doubling in ( Liberty ) and ( In God We Trust ) I could be wrong . But does look different than most of the other weaties i have . Not sure if anyone has the ability to take a look at it 5x . But if so , can ya check it out for me  ?

Thanks Steve

I get nice Wheat Cents fairly regularly around central PA. There are literally thousands of old collections being broken up in this neck of the woods. It's why local coin auctions are so brimming with nice original material. Central PA (and parts of New England, I hear) are Ground Zero for nice coin finds.

I did not know that , That makes me very happy . I think i will go and buy a few box's from a few different bank's and try some medal detecting work before the ground hardens for winter .

Found this wheat penny in a roll of coins while i was hunting for them .

Wish it was a 1943 , 1922 , or a coin worth more value ...
