Since the mint was still striking silver dimes in 1964, it would be very unlikely that a clad dime planchet would find its way accidentally into the cent bin. Add to that the presence of a complete rim, and lack of silver coloring, as the others have mentioned, and I am going to say that this is merely a worn and damaged cent, minted on a cent planchet.

First, let me welcome you to the forum and to the world of coins, if I have not done so already.

There was some sort of foreign object or substance on either the die, or the planchet (coin blank), or which otherwise somehow got between them, during the striking of your coin, and it left an impression, or lack of normal detail, (or both) on your coin. Thus, the coin was "struck through" this object/substance. It should add some value to your coin, but exactly how much is hard to say. I looked at three different error evaluation sites, but could not find a specific price range for struck-through errors. Your best bet may be to check completed auction results on Ebay, Great Collections, etc. for coins similar to yours. I would think that the hype surrounding these new issues would bring an extra premium, at least until the excitement settles down.

Congrats on a nice find.

The reverse appears cleaner than the obverse, but this coin has to grade 67 or higher to make it worth the money, and I don't see that here. I would guess no higher than MS65.

Admission tokens were issued to enable the bearer to gain access to  a place of entertainment or recreation, a private club, or a sporting or other event.  Some were issued to members, and were reusable. Some were used to operate turnstiles to gain entrance. This one, obviously gave the bearer a 10 cent discount to a particular theater, which appears to be the Palace Theatre in Hillsboro, Texas.

This is a large motto two cent piece.

They probably thought it was a rare "Zombie Jefferson" variety.

It does favor Alice Cooper a little bit.

It looks uncirculated to me.

This is another one of those coins that has a texture that makes it hard for me to see all of the surface marks in pictures, but I will guess MS64.

Welcome to the forum.

As Greenstang has noted, it is not rare, and has little collector value, so if it were mine, I would keep it as a memento of my Grandmother.

More Pics  and honestly I think this is als Machine doubling.

 

You are right

I vote AT on the 2015, and the 1964 is a proof.

I'm glad they finally got him. He was sued by PCGS in 2010 for selling fake coins in fake slabs, so I guess he started selling raw fakes after that. After selling counterfeits for over a decade, he should have gotten more than 30 months, in my opinion.

It is a beautiful coin; no question about that.

Good luck with those.

I believe this quote, by D W Lange, is appropriate in this situation:

" That coin has a form of doubling commonly seen on 1943 cents that resulted from the erosive effects of the plated planchets. A line from the duplicate ... image toward the primary one points directly at the center of the coin, confirming that it is simply a result of die erosion. This is commonly seen on both the date and mintmark, always in the same direction away from the center. "

I am assuming that die erosion is also the reason for the ridge at the upper right of the obverse, and the one on top of the reverse, both of which could be mistaken for die cracks. I would like to get a second opinion on those.

1942 wheat penny with no mint. Any value to collectors?

 

There are a few available on Ebay for 99 cents, and I doubt that they are flying off the shelf at that price.

I'm sure there won't be records of every decision, or if there are, they won't be made public, but I think it would be interesting to see the number of "inconclusive" decisions compared to other opinions.

I can't make heads or tails of any of this (no pun intended). You have to remember that I/we don't know what you are talking about, I/we can't read your mind, and so I/we need much more information than you are providing, in order to form an opinion.

From what I can see,the Seated Liberty quarter that you posted is a nice one, but the pictures are far away, there is no reverse picture, and there are multiple images of the obverse. It is accompanied by confusing text that gives very little information, but seems to assume that we know much more about your situation and/or coins than we do. All of this might explain why there have been no replies to your posts.

I like the obverse design and portrait, aside from the headdress and hair.

From "crud" to "critters" in four pages.

I have never considered Franklin Mint products "garbage." While it is true that they mass market lots of items which will probably never be good investments, they have produced some really nice pieces. Not as good as Medallic Arts or some of the other private mints, but not what I would call junk.
