Armymom2011 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 3:12 pm I have tons of pennies I have been looking at since I got my new microscope and would just like to hear what all of you have to say. I think I found a couple of the floating roofs without the FG initials. Thank you in advance for your comments. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 3:17 pm Need close ups,but if it is a floating roof or missing FG those are not errors or varieties. They are made up buzz words from ebay. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73812 Posts	Posted 08/06/2024 3:41 pm The Floating Roof is caused by an over polished die issue. Very common. No premium. You should work on your photos. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187862 Posts	Posted 08/07/2024 2:11 pm The "floating roof" may be common or over-hyped, but I believe every reference set should have one, along with all the other misses. It is all about learning what is and what is not legitimate.

gigi2110 Pillar of the Community United States 1770 Posts	Posted 08/07/2024 2:48 pm I know this is common in the 69 & 70, but I'm wondering if the no FG is common in the 71 as well? gigi2110 Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 08/07/2024 3:46 pm I personally have several other NO or very Faint FG on other years 68' and other 1970's, but '69 & '70 seem to be most prevalent. Report this Post to the Staff
