Hey guys/gals, Could use some expertise here. Is this what I think it might be (1960-P SD/LD)? Found it tonight CRH $5 in pennies. PCGS price guide is showing MS64 as the highest grade. Thanks for the help!   Edited by Dr Seuss

@Greasy Fingers Thank you for your epertise. Under my scope it looks to be small date over large date. Do you see what I see? If not I can post another pic

The 1960P LD over SD is a proof coin, and your is a business strike. John1  |

This wouldn't be the first time I've found inconsistencies with this reference book. I realise large over small were found in proof sets, but not in business strikes?  |

I checked the three reference sites and did not see any business strikes mentioned, and the pics the op posted doesn't look like a SD/LD to me. I can only go with the info I can find,so if I missed it sorry all. John1 |

@John1 coppercoins.com is where I was able to locate the small date over large on business strike coins for 1960. However, upon further investigation, I believe you guys are correct and it's not an error coin.

What attribution number? The only ones there are proof coins. John1 |

I totally agree, THIS posted coin is a large date only, no small date involved at all. My question was, do business strike 1960 large over small exist at all? Searching on ebay there were 1960-D large over small business strikes, but the 1960-P question remains. It's looking like they are Proof only as John1 said. The Authoritative Reference On Lincoln Cents (2nd ed), p. 30, shows b&w examples, but says nothing about whether they are proof only or not. The mystery continues! |
