jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 03/23/2024 9:47 pm Good evening CCF.. Mixed in with all my one cent coins was a very old roll of 1962 five cent coins. The entire roll appears to have a extremely "heavy" strike and appears to be totally uncirculated. I'm guessing that there must have been a mint pressure issue. The depth of the strike is incredible. I looked at Vista (Brian's Coins) with no success. Gosh...these are beautiful coins.. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10601 Posts	Posted 03/23/2024 10:10 pm Right here in your picture proves DDD. You can even see the metal flow from being struck with a worn die....... Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6675 Posts	Posted 03/24/2024 5:43 pm If the strike looks very deep, check the mass. iirc, an overweight planchet will take a strong strike. Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 03/25/2024 5:20 pm Thank you Brandmeister. The entire roll is a bit on the heavy side using 5.00 gr as standard. I appreciate your reply. Report this Post to the Staff
