The 69-D is more well known.

I would think that between a 69 and 88 in the same grade, that the 69 would be worth more due to it's age,metal composition and the lower number that were minted.

What is the value? They sell on ebay for around $10.00 raw and for a certified AU-58, $50.00. |

Maybe I just don't understand...I rarely do!  Isn't "no FG" just excessive die abrading? |

But the 1969 is not longer certified by PCGS. So it is worth really what the 1988 examples are. TO me, one cent. Just Die Deterioration. IMOHO. Nothing was forgotten. The design is all hubbed onto the die, just polished off. |

Another thing to add to the list. Three legged buffalo, Mis 'FG' on Kennedy halves, Peg Leg Ikes, No 'D' 1922s, Missing 'VDB on post 1918 cents, Floating Roof lines, Two feather Buffalo nickels, Missing 'FG' on Cents and anything that was polished off the die, falls into this category. (probably more to add. just off the top of my head) Edited by coop

Varieties and Errors can be defined as having to be on the die when it was made, or having to have occurred at the mint. Value can be defined as what's wrote in a guide, or what it actually sells for. That debate has been going on for many years, even the experts disagree. Each collector can make up his own mind. I choose to recognize the "had to occur at the mint". Otherwise Cuds, Bisecting Rim to Rim Cracks, Die Clashes, Three Legged Buffaloes, Floating Roofs, Spike Heads, and many many other neat looking coins would be neither Varieties or errors. As far as value, coins consistently sell at much higher prices than the guides value them. The true value of any coin is set by the owner. If he doesn't want to sell it, then it is priceless. If he puts a price on it, then that is it's value because either someone buys it, or in essence he has "bought" it himself.  |

Thanks for the education, everyone. For some reason, No FG just had not made it to my consciousness as something to look for. I think that I threw one back yesterday! Oh well...seems like my thinking and "remembering" facilities are slowely evaporating!  |

Ha ha, I doubt that Pete. FG's are valued by how many are known. There must be fewer 69's than 88's.
