CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 10:23 pm Picked up a couple rolls from the local, small-town, bank om my way to work Friday. As I'm driving in between stops, I'll pop a few out just to see what presents ole St. Abe had wrapped, but didn't make it completely through both rolls yest. So I had ten or so left, with this guy's memorial reverse pointed towards me and by looking at the condition and color, I was guessing it had to be early 2000's or late '90s! Boy was I surprised when I turned him over to see this '63 looking so fresh and clean!! This thing looked better than any of the 2021's of the 2 rolls! As you all are quite aware, I lack experience in this culture, but is it common to find '60's Era pennies this nice? Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 11:30 pm For me it is just a spender. I do not know way some say it is a nice find. 1963-D was 1 bill coins. This one it is IMO an circulated coin by the marks on and characteristic of the year in Denver to be low level strike. Yes it is relative clean coin for 1963 on those times but not more then this. Sorry I hope you can find an 67 63-D. Report this Post to the Staff
CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 05/08/2022 03:48 am The pics actually take away just how brilliant and mirror like this one looked in sunlight earlier!! I started looking up where proofs were made that year, because the luster! Could signal a rescue plane with some sun this thing is so shiny Report this Post to the Staff

The cost of ownership is low, so of course keep it if you want! Added: not exactly the same year or grade, but this linked thread is another example of a CRH find roughly contemporaneous with yours: http://goccf.com/t/421585 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 05/08/2022 12:50 pm I included the close ups to ask a question, not sure if you can tell, seems to be almost a small, raised area, on almost all elements, but u can especially see em on any horizontal bars, like E's, A's, and more so on the bottom and top of the C's and O's. Is that from maybe a newer die? Opposite of an over polished die? Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19150 Posts	Posted 05/08/2022 12:59 pm While not common to find high AU to Low MS '60s cents in rolls, it does happen now and then. Your example would be a good hole filler until something better comes along. If you like it, keep it. Report this Post to the Staff

CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 07:42 am So any thoughts on the raised, "ridges", that seem more prominent on the horizontal bars of most elements on the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 05/09/2022 09:32 am And by the way guys, I realize this guy has some "body work" that he needs and it's not like I'm sending it to be graded and slabbed!! I was just impressed with his condition after clanking around in circulation for almost 6 decades!! Report this Post to the Staff
