Oh and you forgot to mention the Special Strike and Proof coins. 

I did say 1964 proofs after that it is 65 SMS 66 SMS and 67 SMS and in reality, the 1965 SMS was made in 1966. Also a SMS is not like a proof it is just special. LoL

There are supposedly some graded, but they are just first strike 1964 coins

Ok that’s fine I see what your saying, I guess just asking because I do believe I have one that’s why I asked 

Well if you had one that would be almost as good as a 1943 copper or a 1982 D sd  copper. 

You will have to read up on the coin in question, I agree with Roger on this one , there is no 1964 SMS...... There was circulation and proof coins struck.in 1964. Dig deep and you may find an answer, But I think not.  

It looks like a nice coin to put in a folder but it would not be worth the cost to send it in for grading.

I strongly suspect misconduct by mint personnel. 

I agree, sounds like an inside job to me. Sorry Youngmoola I have to say that 89 looks like a zincon to me with those blisters and lines.

I think this would look nicer on a white background.

$600 dang. If posable, can we see a nice shot preferably cropped of the obverse of this piece.

[Quick face-saving edit:  NGC & PCGS both authenticate, grade, certify and encapsulate foreign coins. (Now aren't you sorry you threw away all those possibly rare, MS, foreign coins you found in your roll-hunting activities?

🤣

 

I do save the foreign stuff I find, but I do not send any coins out to be graded. I let others spend their money on that.

Just wanting to warn anyone with an ebay account that within the past week or so your shipping address may have defaulted to a prior address if you have an old one on file. I would immediately check your info and make sure any purchases you have made within the last week are going to the correct address. I am not the only person this has happened to. What a disaster.

Did you get your coin? 

I agree this is not a dd, 

If you are new to collecting, you may be better off to get a graded coin. The biggest reason is that way you are not taking a chance on authenticity.  

I was under the impression that NGC was the only one who graded coins other than US coins. I do not think finding paperwork would be an easy task.

Bandit (left) and Chimney (right) say BUMP THIS THREAD!

I see a gray one in the back ? How many cats do you have Mike.

That is a nice die crack it looks like this one at Cuds On Coins. Cross reference: RCD-1c-2021-01. JCc-rcd-2021-01. 01/05/2022.

Well on the bright side. I would look at it this way. It does not say Details or Cleaned Like most of the stuff out there.

Very nice coin. A little wear on the high points on both sides. Some minor scratches. Two small hits on the revers rim I would think with some luck would put it at a AU58.But if it is in an old soap bar I might leave it alone. 

Powermad, has the best answer. Nothing special, this is common.

I think we all have at least one. Some are just more damaged than others. This is not an error, it is a parking lot coin as we say.

There was a craze created by the pandemic and bored people on lockdown getting into coins. They started buying things up and paying more than price guide prices especially for Morgans. It is starting to come back down a bit, but I don't think we will ever see Morgans especially go back to pre-pandemic levels.

Not just Morgans, I think all the coins have gone to high, I go to the auctions all the time and people bid goofy on things. That drives the prices up, but the value is most of the time well below the hammer. 

I agree this is a damaged coin most likely from being caught in a dryer barrel When it flips on end it will roll it flat on the rim until it falls and then it will rub the sides of the coin until it is just right.

No ill probably go ahead and send this one in to be graded. It's probably not worth much but I think it's neat to know that was the last coin from those 1952 d error don't you?

This is interesting RobertDPG. I roll hunt all the time and like many others here I am more than happy to see a new member and lend a hand to try to save them some money, grief and aggravation on their numismatic adventure. It is important to know the how's and whys of coins before investing in them. Please take the professional advice of the members to help you out. In the end you will have learned a lot...

I will know on June 20. I have toured the Philly mint plenty, and all the past mints that still stand. San Fran and West Point don’t do public tours, but Denver does. And I’m touring that one on 06/20/24 as part of my ANA Summer Seminar trip. 

Well, if you think to ask, please let us know.

The date does look a lot like this one . 1942-D DDO-001 (varietyvista.com) Yes Kirt it does not look like the common one 1942 P I agree. I had to look twice. Maybe it is missing markers for proof ?
