srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3657 Posts	Posted Yesterday 4:03 pm If you like color these surprised me. My dad, like many of us, bought coins from online places that we'd probably like to forget. My dad purchased items like lincoln cents on cards that included the last Wheat cent, the first Memorial cent, last copper and well you get the idea. When I opened this one up I found that a few of the coins had toned.... Thought they toned nicely so here they are for your perusal and enjoyment. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 9072 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:06 pm Very nice looking coins! I may be seeing things but the reverse of the 59D looks odd to me, maybe extra thickness in all the letters, especially FG and EPU. The EPU may be a trail die and not a doubled die and it could just be me. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 9072 Posts	Posted Yesterday 6:18 pm Here is a pic of what I'm seeing and sometimes it's just distortion in the actual picture and nothing actually there, it just caught my eye. Can't help it. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 110675 Posts	Posted Yesterday 7:50 pm very nice coins srs! - too bad the 82s weren't copper and small dates. the first one looks like a copper - but is a large date. And the 2nd IS a small date but looks like a zincoin Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Usually just look at the fields - coppers have nice smooth fields while the Copper plated zincs have zinc dust under the plating making it looks like little bubbles on the surface. CPZ cent.
