twistedt Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 3:06 pm Hello all, going through coins from the 60's and came across this 1969D that has a possible error. I have gone through several rolls of 1969 cents and I have seen this on several of them. Is this a Greaser? or another error? is it worth keeping? does it have any value? Has anyone seen this before? thanks for looking and your help. Edited by twistedt 01/15/2018 3:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 3:20 pm This is caused from over polishing dies. Collectors refer to it as a "Floating Roof". It is somewhat common on 1969-D cents. Edited by cwb 01/15/2018 3:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 3:38 pm Some 1969-D cents are missing the designer's initials from the reverse. Some collectors do look for that and they do carry a small premium over face value. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 4:04 pm The "official" Floating roof has BOTH sides missing. It has to be completely gone, any tiny semblance and it doesn't "qualify". There are some who may buy a pristine example, but they really are quite common on the 69D and 70D years. Edited by Crazyb0 01/15/2018 4:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 4:11 pm Yeah I would find one missing both sides and keep for my collection I have quite a few now I can't seem to throw them back lol I got 69 69d 69s 70 70D so far all with floating roofs and I have a 70 S that has a tiny piece still left on right side need to find a better example and I will be good I look for them on every year though I found a 2001 with half a floating roof wish it was the whole thing but yeah find one with both missing one side is just a structural problem lol Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 5:46 pm Just an over polished die. People put names on these trying to get somebody to buy the boat load they found. Give me a variety/EDS coin any day. At least I have something to sell later on. Report this Post to the Staff
