No easy task to find a clean coin anymore. Almost always a mark of some kind.

So I am going through our new 2021-P Pennies to see if I can find any without bag marks. Dang it is almost imposable they are so soft they get nicks and scratches almost as soon as they are sent out the shoot. But I have notated that Abe Lincoln has a pony tail this year.

So maybe we can start cleaning our Zit covered coins with Clearasil-ver and not get into trouble.

Sorry about that. I misquoted that. You are correct a die chip it would be. Thank you for the correction Oldhoopster I appreciate it. I fixed the mistakes in the first posts.

Hinkle posted some Rosie's earlier with some face marks here are some more zits I have like 6 of each style

Yes I think it is only Philly quarters that have the Line and the Chip. Whenever I compare a D to a P coin there is no comparison Denver coins are always a better strike they seem to hold up better over time than Philly coins. I think there are 4 different wing chip types or they are the same chip that just expanded in size over time..

here is a few more shots

Hinkle and myself are on the same page today . We both seem to be looking at UFO's today ..........LOL I opened a roll of quarters and they were all 2020 Tall Grass Prairie with 20% of them with LAR line breaks and a bunch more with wing die chips, I have a tubes for each of these. Lar Line Break is my name for it. I have found photos of the wing die chips on line but have yet to find the Lar line .. On line.. LoL Please feel free to add any pictures you would like to put up.

Ya those are different for the 2006 Mine are 2020 P some are a raised cud some are both funny there in the same spot 14 years later. Must be a common trouble area.

Nice shots .Yes I believe you are correct on the die chips in the letters . I have some similar nickels with cuds on the left side of Monticello and the doorway. Good find, no big money in them but fun to find.

A great story goes with every guitar. An older guitar player that used to be in my band in the eighty's Had a Gibson hollow body, starburst red I think it was a original Les Paul it was a piece of work. I asked him how long he had it he bought it brand new in 1957 man what a sound.

Once upon a time it's weight was around 3.11 but time has taken it's toll,,,, kinda like me old and crusty hard to look at , Just wish I could loose weight ... LoL

Oh my ..A 1938 Martin is worth a buck or 2. LoL I am just a Simple Guitar player Country and Classic Rock I have a El-cheepo 20 year old Esteban acoustic electric was in the local shop never been played still had wrap on the pick guard and keys got it for $150 and It is the best sounding cheep guitar stays in tune also have a used 80 or 90 s Fender star caster and a old 70s Avanti Bass and a 1967 Fender Rhodes keyboard . LoL I just love old stuff

The 2022 is the 75th anniversary so I got it. I like it for a quick look on my desk and the coil binder makes it easier to look through but the internet has way more info nowadays than my last book in 19 years 2003 or this one has.

Ya ,no WAM's here yet but I am still always a picking and a grinning.

So I stopped by one of my antique shops today to see what was new. I forgot my Magnifying Glass so I wanted to give my numismatics a test for the fun of it and see if you guys agree with me. I looked at this Indian Head Nickel and said it looks to clean it was $4 so no big deal . Here is what I think ,(take a look and let me know what you think). I am seeing a massive cleaning with tool marks in the field around the buffalo and Indian face and nose also I was seeing some scratches that look like X's on both sides. I remember some of the old collectors would take a razor knife to coins that were bad so not to sell or look at them again.

Welcome Nick....Not many 43 copper pennies were made to begin with they are vary rare ! It looks more like a 47 boiled in acid to make it look like bad a 43 LoL

I agree I have been picking rolls rerolling the zinc and taking out all the copper coins that look good enough to file away and putting what copper is left in a big tin for when copper goes back up.

Found a nice MS looking 2009 Early Childhood today. There not worth a whole lot unless it would grade a 67 but there is a mark on the C in cent, it is still nice to find them.

I can say I had thoughts of using EBay for purchases and sales but after seeing the stuff people were try to sell like what happen to Hoghead .I refuse to be a part of it. It's just bad business for people who work hard at collecting.

It's all good Tommy , Everyone is cool here you will get a lot of knowledge here I learn something new every day.

Someone put the hammer to it for sure. LoL

Wow you beat me to it woods LoL I just got the same picture

We are always watching out for them where my daughter lives in TN. We are always worried for them and then we get 3 last year which has never happened on Cape Cod and one goes through town ripping up trees 200 years old and 4' across it never harmed anyone ? and only minor damage to buildings
