drwstr123 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Kinda interesting how a coin noted for poor dies is graded. These are all PCGS MS63 RB/BN: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
numismatic nut 0 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 The bottim one is a 1922 plain, a valuebal error. But I don't know how it is formed. The weak dies may have something to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nightwing 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Oh, so it's due to the fact that it is missing it's mint mark then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moneydog 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 If I read it right in Redbook they have it listed as around a $27,000.00 for an MS63 no mint mark. I just love those little copper pennies that sneak up on you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
numismatic nut 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yes, its the missing mint mark. I have a weak mint mark. Worth a whole $35. Nothing compared to the missing mint mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedeadpoint 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I got all excited when I found a 1914 no mint mark and a 1922-D mint mark... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
numismatic nut 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Did we need to know that. Come to think of it I kind of did the same thing with copper cents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drwstr123 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The fourth coin down is the 'Weak D' variety. To be sans D, the D must not be visable at 10X magnification. Of the 2 no D varieties, the 'Strong Reverse' is the money coin. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nightwing 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yes, its the missing mint mark. I have a weak mint mark. Worth a whole $35. Nothing compared to the missing mint mark. I think $35 for a penny is great. If you don't want it I'll give you my address and you can send it to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
numismatic nut 0 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I used to be the same way. Then I learned it is ok for me ( being 12) to carry a red book areund at shows. Then the cherry picken' begins. One dealer told me he went around from table to table when he was young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
