bammer New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 03:05 am finally digging up my old coin collection. Pretty decent really. I'm trying to get an insured value of them and this one penny could be worth a great deal more but there is nothing I could find to get me close. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5786 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 06:56 am I totally agree with John1. Dryer Coins are damaged by tumbling in a dryer or details are smeared by the rotating action of the drum. the longer it has been exposed to that situation the more "melted" the details become. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 4:57 pm to the CCF! The wrapped rims and flattened details are clues that this coin is showing Post Mint Damage. There's no telling how long the coin tumbled around to get to this condition. It does have an interesting look, but no value over face. I too would like to see the obverse image. When you post coins for opinions it's best to show both sides, cropped and in the correct orientation. It makes it easier for the members of Coin Community to study the images and lets us give you better answers. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 7:05 pm I agree, post mint damage. Sorry, not a "mint error" that you can insure, just a damaged coin. As others have suggested, in the future we need much better photos, and certainly outside of 2x2s. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
