    This happens when such a coin is struck with worn dies.
  2. James_OldeTowne
    It just looks like a normal cent.
  3. James_OldeTowne
    It's a normal cent with no especially valuable properties.

    It sounds like PVC contamination and wiping most definitely is not what you want to do. The coins require professional (or at least, experienced/expert) conservation.

    Hands-down, this is the best opening post I've seen since getting back on the boards a few months ago!

    Don't worry, folks - they'll both be in slabs, soon. Perhaps they'll be brand-new "prototype" varieities!

    And now, you know what the INSIDE of roadkill looks like!
  8. James_OldeTowne
    It looks like trivial post-mint damage from those photos.

    Another laughable marketing ploy, which wouldn't be so hilarious if not for the fact that somebody will fall for this nonsense, and pony up big bucks. Well, at least they're the "finest known" according to PCGS, so that means they must be something extra double-special, right??

    This looks like a coin struck off of one or both worn dies.

    It isn't really ironic at all. As a loose, general rule-of-thumb, the more valuable a coin is, the more likely it is to have been cleaned at some point.

    It looks like a nifty die defect, but with no real additional financial value. It's just a fun little discussion piece, I guess.

    It's a fake, but at least it's a pleasant changeup from the myriad 1799 dollars that show up on here.

    Common damage that happens to have distorted a numeral.
  16. James_OldeTowne
    Or put it on eBay and make thousands of dollars!
  17. James_OldeTowne
    Exchange it at your local bank.
  18. James_OldeTowne
    Not a U.S. coin.
  19. James_OldeTowne
    It's common damage that happens to have distorted a letter.
  20. James_OldeTowne
    Not genuine.

    I agree - it's a jewelry piece, albeit an odd choice for jewelry. Perhaps it commemorates someone's birth year.
  22. James_OldeTowne
    I see tweedledum and tweedledee, and maybe Woodstock.
  23. James_OldeTowne
    It's just a damaged cent.

    Didn't Sheldon propose eleven grades for UNC?
  25. James_OldeTowne
    To me, that's an above-average error. On a U.S. coin, I'd imagine it going for $200 to $300, but on a Canadian piece, it might not prove to be as valuable.
