Fishnwidow Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 03/12/2007 4:13 pm The B looks like it was incused with another B over it. Is this called an over polished die? Sorry the pictures are not the greatest, I can't get the lighting right on this one. Edited by Fishnwidow 03/12/2007 4:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 1:44 pm I cant really tell from the pic whats up with the B but I can tell you that 64 was a prolific year for nickels ,, and many show signs of Die Deterioration from over use of the dies.

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 03/13/2007 10:33 pm Fishnwidow I cant offer anything on the B but on the light try to put a piece of paper or something in from or between the coin and the light it will take out a lot of the glare. your pic's are not that bad I would bet you get a mean pic of a new shinny cent .i use that method and it works very well for me. but on the silver or nickel coins you have to do funny things. remember how you had to hold the TV antenna in the 60's lol same idea lol Gary Report this Post to the Staff

amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 03/15/2007 07:15 am They never stopped a coin press in 1964 try to get the most out of dies because there was about to be a coin shortage. the mint's were trying to pull all silver coins in 1965 so they over produced coinage in 1964 plus the Kennedy half dollar had people in line around banks Report this Post to the Staff
