| Thank you so much. My area has always been just pennies, but these were collected over time and stored properly for many years. Going to a coin expo next week so I'm just trying to get prepared. The oldest half dollars I've found so far is a Barber half dollar and Barber dime. I'll post them in a different thread. The collection has easily over 10000 coins, including one that I have yet to date because from all the research I've done it's at least 400 years old. Haven't gotten a professional answer on it, that why I'm not counting it as the oldest yet. I also have older and newer forgein coins. I know my mom would want the world to see all the work she did for her whole life. I'll post other threads for grading. |

| Just the fact I'm getting any opinions of MS state is insane. I know it's low to mid range, but just holding it in my hand is like wow. I know it's not officially graded, but this is just from a quick look through of my collection. I have several of this kind ( as far as RD in MS state if I'm lucky enough) from 1959 ( just one) to 1982, although I'm not sure if the 1982 is the new strike not being 95% copper or the proper transition for that year. |

| That has seriously been the best explanation I have gotten! Thank you so much! I should have clarified in my message I was talking about Lincoln pennies but you understood that and explained it without talking down to me or making me feel stupid. Honestly, that really made my day. The world needs more of that. Ok, now that I've got a full understanding, I'll post my best pennies no matter the color but still are in very good condition. |

| I've got over 14000 pics of my collection, and no I'm not going to flood this community with that many pics lol. The only thing with posting on here is the pics can only be up to 300kbs and most of my pics are between 2 to 5 Mbs due to my high resolution camera. I've posted a couple so far and I'll keep going through my gallery to so you the best ones I've got. I also have error coins and some just plain odd but I post those in the error coin group of threads. |

| Even with the info and links, thank you guys by the way, you see why I'm at a loss a little. If it was just off struck, then ok. If it was just the issue with Liberty, I'd definitely say grease filled, I got that too. Lastly, the God We Trust is, in my opinion, simply a weak strike. I'd take that as it is, but the In just plain isn't there. I've tilted the coin, magnified it, used different lighting. It's like the coin is really supposed to say God We Trust instead of In God We Trust. With grease filled, unless it is really really grease filled, there is some weak notice of the missing feature, and it bleeds over until the grease is gone like in Liberty if I understand correctly. I've just never seen a missing feature or grease filled so pronounced in such a small spot eliminating the In completely. |
