I found 1967 penny with an denver mint mark on bottem. In 1965 thru 1967 there were no mint marks on coins. It was found an fed box of coins about monlth ago. I cant explain it why it has an d under the 1967. Its brown since it come an fedbox of used coins. I want post up here where you can me figure it out . My camara is cannon sd100 . I have problems and cant take close up of coins with for whatever reason. What is cheap camara I use to get close up on coins. I dont know. Any ideas how to take photos of it. My problem I dont know what to about the 1967 cent with an mint mark under it. I looked in books and all over net, coppercoins website its not listed. If this coin is real or not altered or anything. It could great find like an 1943 copper cent or ziggys 1982 doudle die. My quastions on what do with it. I have talked with one dealer about looking at it with microscope and sending to Pgcs grading service to have it slabed or checked out since I think it needs to go to them. Since I cant get photes of coin I think it needs sent off. I dont have any clue on what this could worth. Has an anybody seen or ever heard of coins 1965 thru 1967 found with denver or s mint marks.I never have. I dont know if could be 1961 thru 64 cent or 68 thru 69 coin from denver where it stuck from greese or anything to make it like an 7 on end of coin. The problem with Dealer who an Pgcs dealer. They are over an 100 miles drive in car to get to them. With prices on gas its going be expensive to drive that far. I live in south texas and there no other dealers becides him I would trust with coin. Are any companys I can mail to get checked out since Pgcs onley uses dealers. I am starting not like Pcgs since they dont take coins from non dealers for whatever reason. If could I would send direct pgcs . Reason they are best grading service and all coin peaple trust there grades. I wish I knew they dont take coins from non dealers. Chevrolet454ss

PCGS likely will likely not attribute it ,, anacs or ICG will.
It would be nice to see some pics though .

PCGS isn't cheap to join, but they definitely do not limit their business to dealers. I'm a member, and submit directly to them all the time. The membership is roughly $100/yr.
Now, having said that, it's pretty much certain that the mint mark has been raised on the coin after it was minted. It's possible for someone with the right skills to draw metal up from around the face of the coin into what looks like a proper mint mark in the right place; you have to look pretty closely to see where metal was displaced to build the mint mark. I have seen or heard of both 1914-D's and 1931-S's being faked this way. The US Mint did not produce any dies with mint marks in 1965-1967, as you know, so it's pretty unlikely that they were involved.

Metalman, Why would pcgs not attribute it. You have ideas on geting photes of it . I wish I knew . So how do you get the close up on coins and stuff and what is needed to do that with coins. I short on cash these days to buy that expensive camaras. My scanner dont work very good. I paid 49.95 for it at Walmart last year. It just makes them super small brown things. Is trick on how to enlarge it ? So how they done on photes of coins. Becides that coin I have two more I need to get checked. Chevrolet454ss |

That would be a very cool find if proven genuine! However, if one authentic 67-D is out there, there should be a few others. Still, good luck!  |

Most modern scanner will do a decent enough job on a coin if you know how to do it. You need to get out the manual and read about how to tweak the settings. With mine I go to "Import from twain" function in my photoplus program and choose my scanner. Then I go to custom settings and choose 1200dpi. Then do preview and then once the coin comes up in the preview area(looks like a 1/2inch dot that is barely recognizable as a coin on my 19" monitor) then choose just the coin area. Not sure if this function is the same on all programs but with mine it shows dotted lines that you drag to the size and area you want. Then hit scan and it should come up with a good sized picture. I just scanned this cent with my cheapo scanner/printer and though it leave a lot to be desired it still shows details. Hope this helps.  |

What I am doing wrong.
I put at 1200 dpi my cheaper scanner it was 3.2 megs and would never load.
I went back to 200 dpi and it would load up and just has an x in place.

Judging only by the pictures...I'm not convinced it's a 67.

I can't tell much at that scan size, but the 7 doesn't look very clean. I'd need to see a bigger pic, but it could also be post-mint damage that resembles a 7.

Try it at 600dpi and then reduce the file size with your graphics program.

There is no such thing. It's not even possible. It will turn out that the lasdt digit is something else and has been damaged.
Thanks,
Bill
