Taller_Than_U New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 9:46 pm Is this a mint error or just PMD? If it is a mint error, would it be worth anything or is it in too bad of condition? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 12/04/2022 10:12 pm @tall, in the overall pic of the rev, I think I see some vestige of the initials. Your closeup is a bit too bright to tell. One other thing about this cent is that it look like a so-called "floating roof", where aggressive die polishing removed the parts of the die that strike the connecting line. At one time these brought some premium, but I don't think that is largely the case anymore. You could check ebay sold auctions to confirm.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 12:33 am I can easily see the FG in the picture right before the picture of your microscope screen. Allegedly the grading companies say there can be no trace of an FG, but if you see the essay in my signature you will find they break this rule all the time with half dollars.

Taller_Than_U New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 12:46 am Interesting, I'll have to read it thanks for the link. I'm including some hopefully better microscope pictures here but I think your right about the FG being there, I think I just missed it because I was too focused on the close ups. ^Same photo with different light levels Report this Post to the Staff
UncleDano New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 01:40 am I can clearly see the FG in the first photo of the reverse. I think the lighting/lighting angle in your closeups is such that prevent viewing the initials. Obverse photo has the problem of the shadow below the shoulder of Lincoln, making the VDB not visible.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 03:19 am I clearly see the FG. Please, we ask that you not take screen shots of features because they are too pixelated to be of much use. If you are having issues getting closeups, I suggest you check out the photography section here on CCF. They should be able to help you figure out your photo issues without needing to take screen shots. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
