I've got this 1999 10¢ here (nearly done with these things, really...). I look at the Obverse first...
Double rim, full 360°
Doubled lettering, filled A
Chin cud, goatee
Doubled bottom half of throat
Cool! .. turn the coin over...
And some fool's taken to it with a chisel!!!
So, my question is, where is the line between throwing away junk and keeping it in spite of PMD? I mean, if it was a mangled 1930 penny, there'd be no doubt about it being a keeper, right? Where do we draw the line then?
Hang onto it until you get another one, then discard it. If another one never shows up, at least you still have the original (just show the good side).
Yeah I agree Nevol as you just never know :good:
Like most things, it's personal choice.
If you like it despite the damage, keep it. If the damage is to offputting, spend it.
