Well you could always look at ebay sold (values not asking values), but in general I'd say that the value comes from this being an early S mint rather than MD or toning. I'm sure others will weigh in with their thoughts too.

I agree 100% with Spence. Machine Doubling and check with ebay.

Perhaps very slight Machine Doubling, and it appears cleaned at first look. How about full pics of both sides?



to the CCF!

Machine doubling, yes. What was your lighting set-up when taking the photos?

Thank you everyone! I will upload fulls now. I don't really have a good setup. What kind of lighting do you all recommend?

Highly recommended: daylight often proves to be the best (easiest) overall. Short of that, a defused light works good. Place a sheet of white paper between your single light source and the coin. Practice and you'll work it out!

Much better, but still a nad too bright. Does it really have that rose/pink colour to it?

Cleaning a coin removes value to a coin. If pink in color it would take years to get closer to the color it should be. It is a semi key date, but with it clean, the value is little.

I didn't clean it. This is how I got it. It was in a bag of pennies.
