mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 10:14 am DOH... I figured as much... You can't get all the breaks, I'm glad it came with a bunch of other coins and is in great shape. still worthy of at least one dancing fruit though Report this Post to the Staff
mrwisker Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 10:17 am Now that I am looking at it a bit better. The loop on the 9 should be a bit tighter...correct? Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5602 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 7:41 pm Yes , the loop in the 9 should be tighter, the ends of the 9 should both be pointed,( I do not think you will see that PUP, pick-up point, in any text book ), the inside end of the 9 should be pointed at the 7, not the mint mark, and so on, you will get the hang of it, you will see, Mike Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 08/23/2009 10:22 pm The bottom of the 7 extends far below the 0, on the small date it is almost level with the bottom of the 0. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
