1969 D no FG with floating roof I adjusted the contrast and brightness on one picture so you can see the details better. I also have a 1963 and 2 1968's with errors but I just wanted to see if this would go through first.

Sigh. Right where you clicked to submit, we have: "Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers." So in the spirit of that we would say what you have are one cent apiece. There is a lot of confusion about terminology and a lot of misinformation out there, so you will be the first person in the universe to write what I wrote this morning:

“Varieties” original from the dies that strike coins. Most are common and minor, and add little value to coins. Famous ones include 1955 double die cents and 1942/1 dime overstrikes. “Errors” are one-time mistakes made by the mint. They have to be genuine and dramatic to have a premium, and are worth more with coins that are uncirculated. “Circulation Wear” and “Post-Mint Damage” are what happens to all coins when they are spent. Nearly all errors and variety questions we get are in fact just the latter, mistakenly classified by excited novices reading Internet lore.
