Mbarn615 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/10/2022 10:50 am Hello Folks, I am new to this forum and coin collecting as well. I inherited a good amount of coins from my grandfather and have been going through them and learning over the last few months. This is really cool stuff and history. I appreciate any advice or opinions you can give me. Attached are some photos of two coins I have that I am not sure of. The 1966 Dime is worn on obverse and reverse and I cant tell if it is a stamp error or just wear/tear. The other coin is a 1997 penny that is lacking copper, both sides with little showing in spots. There is also a odd pitting in the face of Lincoln I am not sure of. The coin weighs 2.43 grams. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
