    I thought you'd had one better saved by now,, 😂 like my tin hat one :)

  • erwindocerwindoc Posts: 5,189 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Not seeing anything special. Looks like a 78D LMC to me.

  • silverpopsilverpop Posts: 6,699 ✭✭✭✭✭

    then send it off to a grading company and let's see what they say cause i'm highly doubting you have anything but a common penny

    Yeah that's not enough marks to have them flatten the whole coin,,, hmmm not anything to say about the pillars?
    I mean even to me they look suspect not to mention that's the highest detailed Abe I think I've seen.
    Tell you what, I'll get the best Philly and best Denver 78 cents also, which I can tell you from memory they liked the reverse I mean for the marks and the Philly had a stain 🤣
    Clear separation on the busted S under the D and micro S's inside the D,, JMO
    I'll get better pictures

    geez talk about tossing anything out to gamble on this one is doing just that in some vain hope of being right but never gets to that level

    No I was just gonna do comparisons, I'm not saying your wrong and I'm right and I'm the new guy so most likely I'm wrong :)
    I call this proof to business comparing.

    Why would something like this shock you all,,, did they have 😂 TV I should've said cell phones,,or something better to do, instead of working?
    Also I'm not saying this is some kind of epic error,, I'm just pointing it out.
    Thanks all

    Oops sorry at proof level,, that is more than plenty to make them flatten the coin and turn it into a business cent, JMO
    Also the hit on the date ruined the 78 S mark which would've been the same as 79 S cents in my opinion.
    We all know the mark they recycled after this :)
    What was it the micro S from 74 cent?

  • OldhoopsterOldhoopster Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The mint only used 1 S mm style (MMS-009). There are NO micro S mint marks used on Lincoln Cents.

    So now that you have proof that your coin isn't covered in Micro S's, I guess we can move on from that subject.

    And since only one mm style was used in 1978, the horizontal S that you claim is under the D should match MMS-009 EXACTLY. However, the random marks on your coin don't look anything like it. If it doesn't match the mm, it can't be a D over S.

    That's why I asked,,,I don't know which they used,,, all I did was match the one that is under the D and it's looking like the 79 S mm
    Hey Hoopster :) hour all is well.
    Thanks for the answer :)
    S under the D sir ty

    Now you do know. As posted before (with a reference link) there is only ONE mm style, so there can't be micro S's. I'm not sure why you still are posting "IDK"? It's pretty clear on the Variety Vista site. Do you feel that Variety Vista is incorrect?

    So I thought about it,,, the D Mark when it's circled you can see the micro S's, I should've been clearer.
    This is what coin facts spotted and called it a micro S or so the post went if I read it right.

    I think this

    You're looking waaaay too hard at it. Nothing more than a common cent.

    Have I done wrong and should be banned?

    So are you saying you agree with the information about mint mark styles as posted on Variety Vista, or are you still not convinced which is why you posted IDK?

    Which is it?

    You know which one it is Hoop 🏀 :)
    I'm a believer in new finds & I'm not here to call anyone wrong.
    Yes VAMZ I said those things to one individual who I respect as much as all the big dogs.
    I'm looking to close so it's over :)
    You are the one who sent me a mail saying I should keep going on my other coin even after everything.

    Sorry, but I'm not a mind reader. You posted an ambiguous response. I just want to make sure you have all the accurate information you need to answer your question.

    Are you satisfied that the info posted confirms that you don't have a D/S and multiple micro S's, or are you still unsure? I don't want you to have come back later and post " well, I still think I see a micro S". That would be nothing more than a waste of everybody's time.

    Then you did not read it right. I just noticed this on coinfacts and thought, "Hmmm, a lot of newbies will jump on this as a micro 's' and sure enough one did wearing pareidolia glasses. CoinFacts didn't call it anything.

    Imagine if some of our posters had ran across this in the wild. 1916 S Barber Dime MintMark enlargement shows 'micro/micro S' to the right of the 'Normal S'.
    This coins is on CoinFacts, thank you PCGS.

    Yes Hoopster I still believe what I'm seeing

    Thanks

    I'm sorry to hear that you don't agree with a credible source such as www.Varietyvista.com. Please be advised that additional posting about this coin is unlikely to come to a resolution as the members that know the minting process and the accuracy of the referenced sites understand that there it's not possible for a coin to come from the mint with micro S's.

    Your best bet Is to send it to CONECA rather than continuing to press make posts regarding this coin. Hope this helps

    I'm not even saying it's real,, I'm just saying what I'm seeing and if you all think I'm crazy then so be it,,, in no way shape or form I'm I against you all or am I saying you're wrong,,, lol some days ok every day I know I am.
    Esp if you all are normal :)
    Thanks
    Also I don't own the 1959 D,,, I own the 1978 D LMC which is even harder to prove in my opinion.
    Is the 1959 D LMC

    I wonder if we could make a case to the mods to get rid of this repeating situation. Scour previous posts to find something against the rules and hope the hammer falls?

    Just keep reporting the posts like this where he is trolling. He was given accurate credible proof in this post, and a counterfeit Morgan post, and his fake large cent post, but he keeps coming back with "but what about (add some trivial unrelated detail here)". He was banned on the other TPG forum for pulling the same stunt with his large cent.

    Flagging and reporting nonsense posts like this (coin is covered in micro S's) seems to be the only way to let the mods know what is happening

    Incorrect Hoop I was long gone till the whole Roger blocking, yes then I returned.
    I asked did he block me and he responded
    What you didn't think there would be consequences for disrespecting a fellow EAC member.

    Hmmm I think you should get your story straight Hoop.

    If you know so much what did I do after he said he did?

    Please let's just end this thread,,I know you all wanna get me banned.

    Pareidolia supreme for sure! Abe is well struck on the reverse though, must have been a nice crisp fairly fresh die.
