If your not going to open it, Sell it to me!
I'll give you twice what you paid! Just to open it!

Open it. You're just giving whatever coins that are inside bag marks from hauling the thing around.

I would never open it, I am one of those guys that would rather sell it sealed for the what if factor than sell it opened and leave no doubt what it is

Another vote for open! Elimist, Quote:
But I do believe I found a 1960 small date in circulation, but am only about 85% sure without a second opinion. Post a picture, we can help! |

Well here it is-  Looks like large date to me, of course I have not gone through them all yet, just took out around 50. I figured I did not buy it as an investment, or any of my other Lincolns for that matter. I am sure with the proper listing I could have tripled my investment (paid $200 for those wondering). I figure I will pull them out 50 at a time and put them in tubes. |

wow, 200 dollars for 50 dollars worth of 1960's unc.
you weren't kidding when you said you got a nice deal, well, at least it sounds like a nice deal to me. You could probably roll those and break even on the price if you want to go through all that trouble.
Oh, by the way, that looks like a large date to me, but like I said before I'm not sure about telling the differences. How it the world do you take such a nice picture?

I'm sorry to kind of steal this topic away from you, chrsb. But I thought since we're already talking about small dates it would be unecessary to make a new topic. I found this in circulation just searching my tip change. If this isn't a small date I don't know what is. You guys decide.   |

Elimist- Looks like a small date to me. The 9 is lower than the one and the upper tip of the 6 stops short of being vertical with the outer right curve.
As for the pic it was a quick free hand shot. I just set the camera to macro mode and pressed the button.

See, my camera has a macro mode as well, but not a very good one. It won't get me close at all to something as small as a coin.
After about 30 minutes of messing with the camera, and then messing with the scanner, I popped out those pictures. I figured out how to change the scanning resolution so its set super high and makes a picture thats not too great but I'm quite pleased with.
Ah, my first variety coin. It feels good, real good. I finally have something to put in that "variety" spot in my whitman folder.
So whats a 1960 small date monatarily worth? I can't find anything with a quick google search. I'm expecting like, fifty cents or something.

The 1960-D small date only carry a very small premium, there were a lot of those minted compared to the 1960-P. Nice find though, it almost looks as if it also has a RPM (re-punched mint mark) there are numerous ones for you date, take a closer look at the "D".
