 I don't see anything I would mortgage the house for. The filled mint marks in the 70's are extremely common. The die crack could be a gas bubble, it's hard to see in the photo, but even if it is a die crack, I think the value would only be a dollar or so on ebay. The struck though Grease Filled Die is just that, they sell on ebay for a dollar or so. The 1972-S looks like Mechanical Doubling which isn't worth over face value. The edge doubling is a minor misaligned die error which isn't worth over face value. The rpm is most likely split plating which isn't worth more than face value either. There are some rpm's listed for 1983 but you would need to post a better photo to show more detail. Edited by cwb

Your cents from 1982 and earlier are actually hoardable! They're comprised of 99% copper and worth more in their copper value than their spending value. Otherwise, I recognize no significant errors other than MD which isn't particularly valuable to collectors. The 1991 Greaser is cool! I'd hang onto it. |

1989-D Die Deterioration:  1978-D The post that should have formed the center has broken off the die, no leaving a filled area in the center of the mint mark. (the post should have made the center of the mint mark) 1983-D split plating under the mint mark area. Very common on the 80's Denver cents. Sometimes the strike is to strong and split other areas, other times just the area under the SE part of the "D". It is felt the punch from to add the mint mark into the die, made a raised find that splits the plating until it is flattened. (but in that case they would all be EDS coins, but this is not always the case) Also there is also a linear plating bubble to the west side of the mint mark. The 1972-S is showing machine damage below the date devices. (die movement during the strike that reduces the overall size of the devices) The 1983-D looks like there is a die crack under LIBERTY. Nothing special here. Just interesting stuff to a new collector. After you looked through a few thousand coins, then you will realize they are common events. |
