Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73978 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 12:52 am Just seeing Die Deterioration Doubling on this one. Just worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10514 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 01:56 am Nice looking for a 62 but there were a little over 609 Million minted so not rare - Like E&V stated there is some Die Deterioration stretching the devises toward the rim so really just a face value cent. Put it in a 2x2 or a Lincoln Cent album . Report this Post to the Staff
NoCentsKyle Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 05:33 am I see DDD but also see what I would guess to be a possible grease error on the Reverse FG initials. The R on the Obverse peripheral device "TRUST" looks odd as well. The lower right portion of the R looks like it is extended or maybe elongated and slightly wide. The L of Obverse device Liberty also looks like it is very close to the Rim and I think that is common on this year coin as well. Overall it looks like a decent condition coin, I would like to ask for a complete Obverse and Reverse photo if you don't mind as that may help us better with diagnostics or just general information, if I remember correctly I think when we post coins that is a requirement to post both sides as well, MODS please correct me if I am wrong as I am still learning.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 06:37 am Yes overall pics of both sides is preferable. In addition to the above comments, I would add that the FG didn't strike up completely. This is most often due to there being a little bit of grease in the die during the striking process. It doesn't add to the numismatic value.

bjsturg Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 5:00 pm I also just noticed that there seems like there may be some extra Cud near the bottom of the ear Report this Post to the Staff
halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1488 Posts	Posted 06/29/2025 7:47 pm A Cud would be on the edge. In the middle of the design this would be a die chip, but in this case it may just be damage — it was found on the floor, after all. Report this Post to the Staff
