Hinkle Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hey everyone, this is interesting. I posted a 1973 d like this one while back. It's called over polishing die. My question is, are these common. Because a lot happened in the 70s. Can't really see but little bit of MD on the reverse. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 The "floating roof" and faint initials are fairly common, from what I have seen. Kind of cool looking, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirt Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 It's cool but fairly common. Also seems to show up in the "L" of LIBERTY a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinkle Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Thank you Bob and kirt . I didn't realize the elevating roof or the initials . It's really cool though. To bad it's common, need to hunt for the rare ones.🧐😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirt Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hinkle, just a thought for you...collect what you enjoy and take others' advice as just that. I've been collecting coins since I was ten, which is entirely too many years ago now. I have focused exclusively on what *I* think is cool or interesting, and have paid literally no mind to value or rarity. To me, errors aren't really very interesting, even the real DDs. Still, I do look for them, and I tend to keep error coins like the one you posted as good examples to look back at. If you think errors are cool, put it in a flip and keep it! If you think it's junk, spend it - it will find its way to someone who appreciates it. The nice thing about this hobby is you don't need a ton of space so you can keep a lot of interesting things while continuing to hunt for the rare ones.
