3 new interesting coins...NEW PICS...

joeykoins

Hi guy's, these three all have that "wonder factor."
I'll know a whole lot more when I get to use my scope at home. right now, driving to work. Here they are, will explain later, unless you guys know what I'm curious about beforehand? Lol.

Not obvious to me what makes them special, other than great condition.

You mean you don't have your microscope in your car?

Don't know about the $ac, but you're probably hoping for a 1954 S/D and 1946 D/Horizontal D with the nickels.

On the Sac. Dollar. Doesn't the square rims and slight Cameo, show proof like characteristics? Yesterday, I've heard of some "satin or matte" 2000p's were made? Sure, this is far fetch belief but who knows? I did match this coin up with other 2000p's and mine does seem different.

JBK

One thing you need to keep in mind about Sacs. They come in very different appearances.

Is the Sac a Cheerios? Looks like it may have the tail feather detail.

koynekwest

Yes-I've noticed four distinctly different finishes on the 2000 issue-

1. Fine grain satin
2. Coarse grain satin
3. Prooflike
4. Burnished

And a fine grain satin finish was intentionally used in Mint sets from 2005 thru 2010.

Very interesting, to say the least. Why in the world would they mint various types?
Some were supposedly made of "Gold" as well.

I don't think it was intentional. They are all quite different, tho.
And I believe there were some gold ones minted.

Now, on the other two. The 1954s, the Mint mark looks to be doubled? But not with the d. The "s" looks doubled. S/S?
The 1946d, there appears doubling on "Montcello" and " five cents"? We shall see when I use my scope.
Horizontal d's on the '46? I thought only on the 1942's?

My mistake. I had a senior moment. The D/Horizontal D is on the 1942. The 1946 has a D/Inverted D.

You're welcome!

The Variety Vista website has excellent images of all of the Jeff 5c RPMs and OMMs. Go there to see if you have the '46-D/inv D or the '54-S/D.
