Hi all, thanks for looking. First post here. I inherited a collection and I have a lot of questions. I hope I do not become a burden. I am hoping to find someone local, that I can trust, to assist me, but in the meantime, I am having a good time reading through here and I hope I bring some interesting items to share with you all. I will try to get better pictures, but for now, this is what I have. 41 penny, slanted 1. I see a lot of posts stating that these were typically pushed. Best I can tell, there are no marks suggesting that. I have a Standing Liberty quarter that appears to be punched on the wrong planchet. I know, that would be extremely rare, but, the size, the raised ridge...I don't know. Also here is a penny stamped with a 2 and a 42 penny with a high d. Thanks for the help, appreciate it greatly. I have a lot more to share, but these caught my eye. My apologies, as I uploaded the pics, I am seeing they aren't that great...I will get better ones.    |

 to CCF. 41 looks like PSD. 61 w/2 stamped on it is a counter stamped coin. 42 w/high D is normal. Mint marks were hand punched on the working die and can be in various areas below the date. The SLQ looks like it is in a bezel. John1  |

Thanks for taking the look. The stamped one I had figured as much by looking around. Thought the high D would've been slightly special. The SLQ, define what you mean by bezel. I know what a bezel is, etc...but, this appears to be one solid piece, stamped wrong. Its smaller, has letter cut off, possibly curved up...Thanks

The SLQ has a pushed up rim, because that's how it got to fit in the bezel.

I do see that the outer ring appears to be a different color, maybe material. Could it have been a really worn one and someone decided to put a bezel around it? Why? No sign of a hook or anything as if it were meant to be jewelry. Don't know how much better these pics are. Working with what I got, sorry.   |

I just don't get why people would do something like this...
I appreciate the help and I promise, I have much better things to share. I need to setup my DSLR camera and try to get some good pictures...
My issue right now is, do I want to spend the money to have things graded...It would likely cost me a small fortune to have what I want graded done....
Thank you all again!

So, no one wants to believe its a SLQ punched into a nickel and make me rich? lol As always, thank you all. I have found great people in a Jeep forum for my Jeep and I am glad I took the step to join this one for these coins! As soon as I have the time, I will setup my camera and get some coins loaded up. Hopefully the DSLR will do justice.

to the forum. You came to the right place for coin questions for sure.  And yes, it looks like a Dryer Coin to me also. Sorry |

I just spent about an hour reading through there after making an attempt with my Sony DSLR. Didn't know this was going to be so painful. I am going to have to do a lot more reading. I think I will either try an iphone lens addons and make a box/stand for it to sit in, or maybe a microscope so I can shoot straight to the Pc. Lots more reading to do. THANK!
