WAYNEAS,
Maybe its just the way the pic is presented.
Look at the first A compaired to the second A.
If still confused, look at my post of the same.
Forget close or wide, its the line of type style and size troubling me. Book? Should be a newspaper.
I make my observations and then do the follow up later.
Don't forget, I stay in touch also.
I considered posting this in its own thread, but I figured I would start here in the CRH thread -
I have a perplexing situation that I am curious if anyone else has come across. I picked up a box of pennies from the bank and every single cent in the box was 1982-2020.
The box was totally legit. Unopened, straight from the vault. All the rolls inside were normal, the same as every other box I've looked through.
Knowing that 82 was the year they changed the composition from 95% copper to 2.5%, there's no way that this can be a coincidence.
Is it possible that this has something to do with the way the sorting machines take into account the weight of the coins? If so, I wonder if its possible to find a box that is the complete opposite, and filled mostly (or entirely) with pre-82 cents?
The whole thing is odd. Any insight that folks have from past experience would be much appreciated.
Just sharing a step in the way I pick a roll out of a box. I open appox. 1-2 rolls a night, every night, (Ya no life huh!) .
To expidite the finds I weigh them and if over 131.5 thats the roll to be escavated. Lol, you know what I mean.

What are you trying to get at with the ultra closeups of damaged/corroded/found in the sewer pieces of crap coins?
I think you have derailed, trivialised, and junked up a useful and informative thread.

Was it fed boxes or armor freight? I'm guessing you meant fed. I've seen plenty of home rolled like that and they have simply been gone through already. When fed rolls are that bad you still usually find a wheat or two.
I always ask for the customer wrapped because they are either real good or real bad and almost always higher quality coins.

I picked up 2 boxes of cents a few weeks ago in anticipation of some downtime/home imprisonment/lockdown and just found this:
This coin was the only wheat cent in the whole box.
It was about 1/2 & 1/2 customer rolled.
This is a date I am sure was a first in circulation for me.
@CoinscratchFever said: @sedulous . Nice Lincs. Do the enders all look to have the same strength in strike? I would definitely be opening those stronger ones first.
I took pictures at the end of each of the rolls... a collage of the remaining 11 unwrapped rolls I still have. I also have some, obviously, that I unwrapped and I am not showing them here (in those square tubes). I am thinking about selling all of these 11 throwing in the 4 or 5 I opened. Might be interesting to someone who wants to take the time to look through them for the newly identified D/D. Some show some vivid coloring - probably from the paper wrapper sulfer?. Others show MD a bit the closer you get to the edge. The ends of the rolls for the most part look like it went through a counter or was roller-scratched from the rolling process. the 48 on the inside do not exhibit this and are un-damaged with planchet surfaces for a majority of the coins (per the ones I have opened). A few of those ends also have some sort of black spotting.
Here are open roll inside coin pics:

It was a fed box, definitely not CWRs, which is why I was so confused. Not sure what "armor freight" is - do you mean like Loomis? It was a closed and sealed box, and all rolls were intact.
Literally not a SINGLE pre-1982 cent. Not one.
And I agree with you on the customer rolls vs. boxed rolls. I feel like getting a sealed box is more consistent (usually you know you'll find some things, but nothing spectacular) whereas the CWRs are higher risk/higher reward. Maybe you get a full roll of Wheaties, or maybe you get $25 of someone's coin dump and its been totally picked through.

Fed rolls are very boring until they're not. But opening them is like walking through a desert for days. And with the CWRs you'll know within a couple rolls if you have previously searched coins or not.
@CoinscratchFever said: @sedulous . I'd be interested, I think I still need an 87 d for my set. And at least a 67. That last pic looks 67+.
I'm sure I have one, give me a few days.
Also,
Wayne ya I was kinda streching the view with the camera.
Why ? if struck as a double die, you'll have a close.
Thanks.
Found an interesting one today.
It has a hammered strike and flashes of 68 bright purple grapes while illuminating in the evening sunset...
(sorry I read Heritage Auction descriptions maybe too much).
I'm curious how it grade though, I would have it so if I thought the TV would show the toning (only seen at angle) and just because it looks so nice.
But turn up the magnification and it seems these grapes have been trampled under foot.
Maybe this falls under the "Coin In Hand" looks so good category.
Now I feel like a news coresponder reporting on a epidemic.
I was gonna post in the humor thread.

P.S. I can waste more time on photo's but that means searching my backyard where I threw it._

Registry Set! (Silver65) There are 423 in the Lincoln series and I still need 386 The modern stuff is pretty easy to find at least in MS67. I will need to get a bit more creative for the older pre 1970's and ultimately have to purchase most of those. Meanwhile the moderns only cost time and grading fees and its fun and rewarding when you hit.
Thanks Ricko!
@CoinscratchFever....I just saw two brand new 2020 cents at the checkout counter in Sam's club.... not sure why they were sitting there, but were not my change. They looked like they just came from the mint....Cheers, RickO

Looks like a die crack from the first "a" in Hawaii through the 9 then the 5 then the bicep. If a die cracks in half maybe it allows more Vibration and gives the machine doubling effect.

1 roll a night in these times of CD's
Nothing special. 1969 cent with structual damage on the rev.
Call a roofer I cant find the I beams.
Pulled this from a roll today, unfortunately there's a couple scratches across the face, but it's pretty impressive for 81 years old!
Great find!

Last night...uneventfull (1 roll )
Although found 2 , 82's (cent) both wt. 3.1.
(Copper).
Both clean, 2 different aloys.
1. Small
1. Large
Just found ahhhhh... 1992 cent very clean.
You be the jury as to the AM.
It was a fed box, definitely not CWRs, which is why I was so confused. Not sure what "armor freight" is - do you mean like Loomis? It was a closed and sealed box, and all rolls were intact.

AU- but interesting color
Collector, occasional seller
I kinda been on the fence regarding 82's
and this is ,... why.!?
wt.3.1.
Found in a roll a couple weeks back.
Nothing doing here unless a Denver. Right???
In Denver that is. LOL
lol, okay! Nuff said, Pm me your address I’m gonna send you a box of dry cents.
You would think being in Denver you would have the upper hand.
It's damaged by a coin rolling machine.

Still, the weight doesn’t matter unless “D”
Yep
Collector, occasional seller
@emeraldATV . Stop licking the coins, stay away from the light too...
My thoughts about "being a Denver"
Don't do it your own backyard.
Why not?
It's an old saying.
Which is better said in a locker room.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, I have a roll open.
will post if anything appears.
Hmmm...Time travel.
Now I'm really confused. Burp !
Just exactly what is confusing you?? Or is it a general condition??
