Zeewool, That is a good eye. What causes that, and is it worth more because of it?

I am also in the camp that would have liked to see the cynicism left out of the replies. It's not like she said she found 50 aluminum cents dated 1974 after breaking into an ex-husband's attic while he's at work!
Tsivils, I hope the silver melt value provided helps. Try again if you need more. If you spent 6 hours on the site, you know there are some very helpful people here.

Thank you so much for all the kind words... Very helpful people on this forum. My husband read "all the post" this morning and got a "chuckle" out of the whole thing...Even asked me about our closet in the attic..lol(it was in the closet in the bedroom) We really appreciate all your helpful replies.

I am glad to see that you are accepting the original sentiments of the folks here in the manner in which they were intended Tsivils. I could see from the original postings though how things might have been misinterpreted. I really don't know what causes that stuff Jaymon, because I don't know what I am looking at when it comes to online pictures..... If I had to speculate, my guess would be that which looks like a horizontal die crack between the rays is probably Post Mint Damage, and that vertical extension of the ray into the 'D' is caused by a die touch up using a graver between the two devices..... As I recall, there is a similar effect on a 1921 Peace (that I think is called vam-3) in which the rays take on the appearance of going over one (or both) 'L' in dollar...... I believe this ray extension into the 'D' of dollar on this coin is actually in the die and could be used as a Pick Up Point for VAM identification...... I could be totally wrong about all of that stuff though.....  Edited by zeewool

I have a question........ Why is it that two coins that are same year and mint can vary in price so much?

How many were made at each site usually determines their value(However some exceptions apply).
Ex... Millions are made in Philadelphia, and Thousands are made in Denver...

The higher the grade the higher the price versus their lower grade counterparts. There are other variables that can come into play like varieties and such. Did you have a specific couple of coins that you were wondering about? Edited by Scooby Due

The 1901-O would go at right around melt value, IMHO.
