Trailshot Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 01/20/2020 09:09 am Hello and glad to be a new member. I recently got a couple rolls of pennies from my local mini-mart and was surprised to find rolls of 1939 and 1959D. The 59' were in remarkable shape this being the most interesting. I've been collecting for only a few years and appreciate anyone's thoughts on value as to wether getting it graded. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/20/2020 09:37 am I'm reasonably sure it was caused at the Mint. Too big and in an unusual place for a die chip. Most likely die damage caused by a strike-through, i.e., something hard got in the way during the minting process and "dented" the die. Not grease since that smooshes out and becomes a smooth bump.

Doesn't work that way. It has to be worth way more than it cost to get it graded. For example, both of these were worth way more than it would cost to get them graded, so it was worth it. Both of them are very valuable. http://goccf.com/t/364360 Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Trailshot Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 01/20/2020 12:39 pm Thank you for your answers. I wasn't sure if that "blotch", combined with Decent grade might give it value.

I have really Started to love coin hunting the last nine months or so, Sad the penny's future is slated for death soon. again thank you all! Report this Post to the Staff

Save your money on your coin. IMOHO Edited by coop 01/20/2020 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Trailshot Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 01/20/2020 6:29 pm Thank you COOP. Those links go a long way in showing the slight differences between the grades. Based on your links I would guess it gets a MS65 at best. not worth grading fees. I learned a lot today. Report this Post to the Staff
