My other rainy Sunday project is to see if this tube of uncirculated 1960-D really is. LoL

So lets try this out for a rainy Sunday. I picked up this shiny Quarter for $8.75 anyone think it is market value or just a Silver Quarter ?

My new Warman's National Park Quarters coin book has two extra coin spots unlabeled after the 2021 Tuskegee Airman

I got some new 2021 penny rolls to look at for the weekend to see if I could get some perfect unmarked coins after 12 rolls or more I got 3 pennies that are as close as can be expected.

The mark kind looks like the end of a flat screwdriver that was driven hard into the coin. But no way to know for sure who or what did it but it doesn't look like anything but PMD to me.

Yes I find all the new quarters and pennies are a week strike on the obverse ,dimes and nickels are still week but better and Denver mint is almost always a better strike than Philly. San Francisco and West Point are the best but they have to be.. LoL

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
