sin113355 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 09/29/2021 8:02 pm Do you think its worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 09/29/2021 8:20 pm Well you could always look at ebay sold (values not asking values), but in general I'd say that the value comes from this being an early S mint rather than MD or toning. I'm sure others will weigh in with their thoughts too.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/29/2021 9:31 pm Perhaps very slight Machine Doubling, and it appears cleaned at first look. How about full pics of both sides? to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 09/29/2021 10:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96579 Posts	Posted 09/29/2021 10:02 pm I too would like to see full coin pictures to better see the toning. But MD otherwise . Collecting since 1972.

sin113355 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 12:08 am Thank you everyone! I will upload fulls now. I don't really have a good setup. What kind of lighting do you all recommend? Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 12:13 am Highly recommended: daylight often proves to be the best (easiest) overall. Short of that, a defused light works good. Place a sheet of white paper between your single light source and the coin. Practice and you'll work it out! Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 12:39 am Much better, but still a nad too bright. Does it really have that rose/pink colour to it? Report this Post to the Staff
sin113355 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 01:05 am yes, it has that rose/pink color. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 01:06 am Cleaning a coin removes value to a coin. If pink in color it would take years to get closer to the color it should be. It is a semi key date, but with it clean, the value is little. Report this Post to the Staff
sin113355 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 02:15 am I didn't clean it. This is how I got it. It was in a bag of pennies. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2021 1:34 pm Well that is what happened to it. Report this Post to the Staff
