Edwardram Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 1962 D great condition Penny. Found in used rolls from liquor store. Not sure if there’s anymore to it. Such as DDO or anything. Please let me know what you think you see and your opinion of condition and possible grading level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Circulated coin, grades AU55 or thereabouts. Worth 3 cents, which is the value of the copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I see no listing for a 1962 D in NGC Variety Plus so if there is any condition with that (I can't tell from the provided photo), I would think it would be of the lesser so it would not command any kind of premium. That said, I am looking at a high end AU RB cent which is listed in the NGC price guide at $0.05. While the steps on the reverse are lets just say ok, the vertical columns for the most part are not showing any of the vertical flutes (I believe they are called which are the vertical lines running up the sides of each column). On Lincoln Memorial Cents, I believe there are three visible flutes per column which are only showing on the column furthest to the right on your cent. Lincoln's hair, beard, and cheekbone look to have light wear as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKK Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Nice AU penny. Worth 1c. Not worth any attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Good looking cent. Nice find for a coin folder. It will stand out amongst the dark brown ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Large numbers of mint bags and rolls of cents were saved by collectors, dealers, and speculators during the "BU roll craze" of the early to mid 1960s, so dates like the 1962-D remain extremely common today in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. A fifty-coin BU roll can still be purchased for a few dollars. This coin has light friction or "rub" on the high points as noted and has nominal collector value but is suitable for an album collection of cents taken from circulation.
