Looks like the first one has a die crack, and both of them have weird wobbly letters and numbers. Can you tell me what these are with pro words and pro advices? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/21/2016 6:24 pm Not an error and it does not add any value because it happened to the coin after it left the mint. Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks for the elevation to Coop status Here is the post for Dryer Coins where the pic originates from. https://goccf.com/t/143863 How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/22/2016 11:46 am Nice image earle42. The coin looks beyond normal circulation wear. The devices may have been pressed in some matter to make the devices look wider. But I wouldn't rule out a Dryer Coin. Lets just call it PSD. We all can agree with that. It was altered from what it look like when they were struck. No premium for these. Just pocket change that can go back to work. Kind of looks like Freddy got a hold on them?

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/22/2016 3:46 pm The second coin is just severe die wear/deterioration. They really used the dies too long in 1982 and 83. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/22/2016 7:26 pm The sad part about the 1982 and 83 coins is that they didn't have mint sets those years. So any nice coins for a collection would have to be bought from BU stock or find the nicest in circulation. So keep the 1982-83 larger denominations in BU condition. They will increase in value with time. (cents.. There are plenty of these already saved) Five cents and upward. Report this Post to the Staff
