1969 D One Cent Missing FG.

The 69 D's that are truely no FG sell for a premium. There are very many where the faintest trace of FG can be seen, they are generally not considered no FG coins. I've looked at a lot under scopes, and up close you can't see the FG, and far away you can't see the FG, but when you get the light at the right angle, it breaks your heart. I'd make sure before sending it out for certification, if warranted (I forget what they are going for these days), adjust your lighting and focus however you can.

I can see it a little bit. It's still there, but barely. It might have been caused by a Grease Filled Die issue.

These no initials 1969 cents were debunked by the experts and woe to the collector who pays anything but a very modest premium for an example. The 1970 D is another year with no or weak initials and a floating roof. Cool coins to enjoy but not worth much over face value. Total missing initial 1969 D's are valued at about $2-4 in AU and slabbed worth whatever an uninformed buyer will pay.
