Henri Charriere Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 @Mohawk: I believe your finds stem from the government's "suggestion" to the public that they turn in any change they may have accumulated over the years in cans, water bottles, and the like, to ease the coin shortage, whether real or imagined.

We were chatting about the new Zim gold "coin" being released the other week, across the aisle, so I dug this out of storage and posted a pic of it. I don't think he was impressed. Though I might as well post it over here as well, just haven't had a free moment to do so until today. Coinbuf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CoinJockey73 Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2022 Found these today. I have this theory about coins i find the same day, of the same year, from the same mint. Alas, these aren't the same mint. New theory. These were minted at the exact same time, across the country from each other. Lost relatives, to say the least. Well, I've reunited them. You're welcome. i think the D stands for "dented". They designate coins as such for certain purposes. Uh huh.

It's basically identical, accept they're from the same mint. Reunited like, 97 years later, or something like that. I don't know, i wasn't really listening.

I seriously doubt this would be authenticated and certified judging by the condition it's in. Oddly, if it were four years younger, or only a year older, it would but whether it made economical sense would be the only question left to contend with. According to P---, low-balled sets are notoriously difficult to assemble. CoinJockey73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct. As a matter of fact, had that coin suffered soft and even wear, date still discernable but mint mark expertly polished away, I suspect it would suffer the same fate. Plenty of Jefferson nickels were struck at Philadelphia without mintmarks. But my feeling is on so-called wartime nickels that mintmark is an integral part of the date and without it--I am guessing here--it would not be authenticated and certified. Then again, the 1922-no D Lincoln cent is recognized, but for good reason: none were authorized for minting in Philadelphia.

Those executive decisions were made on the fly, all the time. It's very well documented in those things i read somewhere.
