1960-D Small Date Lincoln Memorial Cent- Die Chips And ?

Hi puman,


1960/1960d cents are loaded with anomalies.

I guess if one collects die chips/gouges etc it's a treasure chest, to someone else its needless junk.


I personally keep coins with die chips/ die gouges etc- I happen to like the way they look etc, 99 percent of them are probably not worth a darn thing extra but there is always the chance you might find something special that may carry a premium with it.

This particular coin was pulled from circulated bank wrapped rolls of cents quite awhile ago.

I've been going through all my accumulated "STUFF" to see what I should get rid of (cash in at the bank) and never noticed the possible baseline doubling on the right side of the memorial on this coin.

I guess it's worth re-looking at your coins a little closer before you cash them in!

They are all die chips...

Thanks,
Bill

I have been through hundreds, if not nearly a thousand, rolls of 1960 Lincoln cents. About half have some form of die chips somewhere on the coin. At first I considered keeping them, but when I had a dozen different ones out of three rolls, I made a realization...

Keeping fully struck, unscathed, completely normal high grade 1960 cents is a far better and scarcer thing to collect.

I've actually been offered $50 for one of my hand-cherried MS66+ rolls of 1960P LD cents. I declined. It took over 200 rolls worth of hunting to assemble one of these rolls. Each coin is worth in excess of $10 to me.
