CENT Not penny

The effect you see can also be caused by hitting the coin's edge with a spoon.

Ok thanks I wasn't sure why it looked like this

How much time in a day do you use to find whatever it is you see in coins?

Besides the RARE Mercury Dime what else do you collect or just pocket change minutia.

For some odd reason, I can't exactly say why, I find myself intrigued by the wood grain more than the penny.

Just a very beat-up cent that is worth exactly one cent.

The 1968 cent in this thread is worth a one cent.

Just an old, well used cent... Not a variety. Get the Cherry Pickers Guide (CPG), it will help you when looking at coins. Cheers, RickO

Do you constantly have to belittle every question put forth by new members?

A normal LMC. The letters touching the rim were common in the 60s.
