drriver_1 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 12:36 pm I have been looking for information on a 1960, dunno large or small date, but the 6 has an extra serif on it. Due to my job I will not be able to post a pic till late next month. Any information would be great to hear. Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 12:52 pm the number 6 does not have a serif. Is this what you are referring to? If so, that is exactly what every 6 looks like on the small date 1960. Report this Post to the Staff
drriver_1 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 1:17 pm no, it is on the top side of the 6. it is only the 6 from what I can remember, not on the mm or any other part of the date. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 1:19 pm Seal has it correct. It is just a small date 1960 cent. If it is a Philly it is a good one to keep. If it is a Denver one, they are common. Report this Post to the Staff

Well then, without any photos this is a pointless thread. Report this Post to the Staff
drriver_1 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 1:40 pm hopefully this posts large enough Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 1:58 pm Pointing where it is located on the photo I provided does not help. We need to see the ACTUAL coin in question. The one I posted does not show anything where you are pointing. Report this Post to the Staff
drriver_1 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 3:19 pm the additional serif is indicated in red and there is a space between the two serif's is indicated in black. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 3:23 pm Well without actually being able to see it, I would say it is most likely damage. It is highly unlikey that it is true doubling if it is indeed that strong and ONLY in that one area. Edited by seal006 08/19/2013 3:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

drriver_1 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 3:35 pm yeah ... I have never seen on like it... I happened to sell a quantity of rolls and I bought the last of them. as I was searching them I found several. the rolls were straight from the bank in 1960. I do not remember the mm. I just found this website and thought there would be no time like the present to get input. I will continue to research and will post a pic of actual coin as soon as possible. have you heard of a large date over small? thanks for the input! Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 3:41 pm There is a small date over a large for the 1960-D. but you can see other doubling on the 9 the 0 and a secondary mint mark to the north of the primary. Here is what it looks like http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Report this Post to the Staff
