Although I don't think this is true hub doubling, I hope I am wrong, and the OP has made a new discovery. 

If you decide to pursue this, I suggest posting on the coneca forum as suggested above, and please keep us informed. 

If you are talking about the appearance, it looks like someone has attempted to clean it, or the surfaces have been messed with some other way. If you're referring to something else, please specify.

I am not connected with NGC in any way, but I can offer an opinion. Recent "sold" listings on Ebay show these 7k state series eagles in MS 70 selling at prices from $50 to $80. If you are only being offered $25 - 40, you might want to consider listing them on Ebay. 

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean a thing, but I took a shot at guessing what the OP was talking about. I did not want to post it until the OP had a chance to answer. I typed a post and saved it, though. Looks like I guessed correctly.

Here is a screenshot:

Unlike most other collectors, that fingerprint on the 1911 does not bother me. The little round spot in front of Lincoln's upper lip does cause some concern, though. Still, I intend to keep an eye on it when it comes up for auction.

So, do you think this was one of those "midnight shift" jobs?

Nice looking quarters.  I bet the hunt for these is a lot of fun.

Part of the price disparity is probably because the top (NGC) coin is silver, and the bottom (NGCX) is clad.

I think if I have done anything unusual it is that I have been able to compile a fairy solid run of the MSPL and a nearly complete (based on the NGC census) MSDPL run from primarily 87'-98'.

You can't post something like that without showing pictures.

I recently inherited a 1976 s proof set (silver)(bicentennial )that is absolutely flawless and I have seen a few outstanding prices on some of the coins. Is it click bait im seeing or if you have a proof 69-70 quarter from that year is it really valuable? Any help is appreciated 

A PF70 ultra cameo quarter is worth a few hundred to the right buyer, so if you are seeing prices higher than that, it is likely clickbait. i can relate, though. I saw an article this morning that had a title claiming that certain bicentennial quarters were worth $80 million. 

The "O" is next to the "P" on a keyboard, so my guess is that the title has a typo, and the OP meant to type "RPM."

Welcome to the forum, Gary. You might wonder why you were asked to supply photos of the complete coin, front and rear (obverse and reverse.) The reason is that later die states of the D over horizontal D variety can possibly be confirmed by various die scratches and breaks, assuming the coin is not too worn to see them. You might want to take a look at the Variety Vista page for this coin, since you have it in hand, and compare it to the pictures and descriptions there. Here is the link: click here

Welcome to the forum. Your coin looks like it has spent some time in the bowels of a commercial clothes dryer or some other machine that has worn down the edge and one side. It is not an error coin but is merely damaged.

Hello!

Slab 6803724-006 in the certification database has a Peru 1L 1918 MS61 as the obverse picture, and an US $1 1887-O MS61 obverse as the reverse picture.  The Peru 1L picture is correct, the US$ picture is not. 

Additionally, if you search for the number shown on the incorrect US $1 MS61 slab picture in the 6803724-006 listing (shown slabbed as 6822109-001) you get instead what looks like the same US$ coin and with the same 6822109-001 number, but it is in a slab graded MS62 (even though the page text still calls it a MS61).

Something severely messed up here.  Can't help you with figuring out the US$ multiple slab mess up but I can send you a picture of the true reverse of slab 6803724-006, the Peru 1L, if you need it.  Let me know :-)

98E, huh? Does that mean between Hattiesburg and Lucedale?

Welcome to the forum.

Have you weighed the coins? They need to be weighed on an accurate scale that reads in grams to two decimal places (hundredths of a gram). There were two different cent compositions that year, as I am sure you know. The copper-coated zinc version should weigh around 2.5 grams, and the brass version should weigh around 3.11 grams. Be sure to orient your pictures correctly and crop out all of the background. That makes it easier for all of us old men on here to see what you have and offer help.

What mint makes the coin?

The Commonwealth Mint and Philatelic Bureau, Ltd.

It looks like many are trying to sell non certified versions for the high value, but now understanding that there were only 5000 of the high value coins made. 

 

Thank you JR

It is important to remember that all 5,000 of the coins were encapsulated. The first 3,000 were sold for $200 apiece to collectors who, we assume, bought them solely because of the Goodacre providence.  The remaining 2000 were bought by a dealer, crossed to PCGS for grading and encapsulation, and then sold, probably for at least that amount and possibly more. It is highly likely that every collector who bought one was aware that the value lay solely in the fact that their coin once belonged to Ms. Goodacre, and that removing it from the slab would destroy the value. Human nature being what it is, it is possible that a few coins were removed from their holders by collectors who hate having their coins entombed in plastic. But I would guess that 99.9% of the coins are still in a holder from one of the three major grading services. Any coin claiming to be a Goodacre piece and being sold raw has to be assumed to be either a coin struck from new or freshly polished dies, or one that has been buffed to imitate a presentation piece. Either way, I would run from those as fast as I could.

On a related note: if anyone sees Skip Fazzari at FUN, or on another coin forum, would you ask him if he was involved in authenticating these coins? Someone at ICG discovered that there were two different types of finish, and I was wondering if it was he who discovered it

That is sad. Someone ruined a proof set.

We need a "drool" emojie.  Wow! Amazing pieces! 

The coin is obviously a fake, and the government should definitely take action, but the holder doesn't actually say "NGC," and the insert is a different style, so I doubt there is anything that can be done about the holder being fake. 

What a great idea! 

I believe the impression was made by a Roosevelt dime.

Obviously not an error. Just glue, as the others have stated.

Judging by the Anthony Dollars that I have seen, anytime you can get a 67 on a business strike from '79 to '81, you've made a major coup. Even the ones I've seen in mint sets were baggy. Nice job.
