Hinkle Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I came across these two very nice cents coin roll hunting. My question is the 1960 looks like larg over small. But I could be wrong. I see something going on in the 9, 6 and 0 in the date. My other question is ,I'm aware what we all are looking for what they call double die . It would have some really strong doubling. The 1961 d has no doubling anywhere on the coin, except the date. The doubling is shifted to the west in the date. If I'm not wrong would that also be a MD because it doesn't look like a strong two of everything in the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The 1960 can't be a small over large date as that only occurs on 1960D cents. Your right on the 1961, it is MD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might not be understanding what there saying here in the book. Here's a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Strange, don't know why they put it in there, they have two different versions listed, a small over large and a large over small and I have never seen or heard of either one. Maybe someone else has an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawtomatic Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just did a quick search through the lists on The Lincoln Cent Resource and not seeing mention of a 1960 plain date small/large or large/small. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Top50.html They have a forums as well so perhaps a bit of searching or asking in there might get an answer.

To my knowledge, the Philly LD over SD, and SD over LD are only among the proofs, hence the dash under that column. Extremely rare. Kind of makes you wish you examined the 1960 proof cents at the last auction you were at that had some, doesn't it?

I don't think my coin is a proof. I think it's a regular business strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
