1974 Aluminum Lincoln Memorial Cent - Don't Freak Out.

Hmmm after taking pictures of the quarter the casing began to crack LOL.

Again... Quality isn't the greatest. It is

In picture 4 you can see there is something between the 9 and 6. To me under a magnifying glass it looks like a D and from different views I swear it's a 4.

The arrows between 1 and 9 can't really be seen... but in Picture 1 there is another arrow below the ear(maybe it just looks that way since I've looked at it under a magnifying glass.

I have only basic knowledge of coins, so let me know what you guys think.



Obvious Double Die on E and R

Sorry if I'm posting too much... I just keep finding new stuff out.

Yeah I do more than likely agree now.

I took the 1964 quarter, dime, and nickel to a coin shop today and two places said the coins were polished. The guy said the quarter was struck pretty well, but the nickel appeared to be a weak striking? The nickel is way darker than the rest of the coins, no one was interested in the nickel toning lol.

He said the Bag was probably a personal bag for someone because it wasn't your typical bank deposit bag. It has strings.

I don't know why someone would polish a 1964 Quarter and Dime, but who knows. He didn't notice the double die(if it is) on the quarter until I showed him the picture and he looked at it and said it was probably machine. He did notice the ribbons between the 1 and 9 --- and 9 and 6.

The S in States tails up to the E pretty nicely.

The T E R in Quarter seems to have one single line connecting them.

The A in DOLLAR appears to be solid and just barely missing the Leaf.

He also noticed the lines below the hair extended from the 4 by about a 1/4th inch.

At the second of two coin shops I went to, I asked the old guy about the pennies, he said he didn't believe they were plated or dipped. He thought the pennies were regular 1974 pennies and the Lucite gave them the different color.

I guess it's all one big coincidence... It will be a story to tell in the future. Lol a bag from Cattaraugus County New York ends up in Bellevue(connected to omaha pretty much Omaha but remains its own city) with fake aluminum pennies and polished quarters and 1964 pennies with such differences I can't even explain.



I think the nickel looks pretty cool. I went to places mainly trying to buy gold and silver. Omaha, Nebraska's finest :) Maybe a mistake.

On a positive note, I have about 2000 wheat pennies to go through :)

Sorry, the coins have been plated prior to the encasement...manufacturer trying to make them "pretty".
