  1. Your coin appears to have significant die deterioration, the anomaly you see is related to that and not an RPM.

    coin

    Its worth the face value of 1 cent. In 2009 the mint produced four versions of the Lincoln cent to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Lincoln cent which was first produced in 1909. Each design was meant to portray a portion of Lincon's life, the design you have is called The Professional Life.
  3. Looks like a damaged coin, worth less than 25 cents. Welcome to the forum.
  4. You can read Kurt's short and colorful reason he is no longer a national volunteer for yourself.
  5. Would you be expecting a balanced nonbiased account of the meeting from the recently ousted Kurt.
  6. From your opening post it seemed like you were in attendance. I am not there and haven't seem or heard any of the meeting. Hopefully someone can add more to the story.
  7. So that's all we get, a teaser and a comment with no refrence to context or content?
  8. There isn't any such thing as "toning error", just simple exposure to the elements.
  9. The only thing it could be is a strike through, but from your photos it looks more like a scratch to me.
  10. Impossible to answer without knowing what you mean by "box". Can you post a photo of not of these sets/boxes?
  11. Your question is not clear, do you want to put your coins into and participate in the NGC registry? Is that what you mean by registering? If this not what you're asking for then I have no clue what you are asking about. If you wish to participate in the NGC registry then yes you will have no choice but to spend a considerable amount of money and submit your coins to NGC for grading, there is no way around this. I would strongly suggest that you do some serious research into the value of your coins as they are and what they would be worth as an NGC certified coin. You might find that it is financially unreasonable to have all your coin graded.
  12. The coin has been counterstamped, likely by someone named Jesse. Not an error just damaged but still worth 25 cents.
  13. Damaged, likely caught in a dryer, not an error and only worth one cent.
  14. Your decision to crack these out seems not a good one from your photos. Granted photos don't always tell the full story, but just from photos I see your chances of anything over PF67 as remote. In hand I might have a different opinion. You would have been better off submitting to PCGS for crossover at the current grade or perhaps one grade less. NGC doesn't offer the crossover option except for PCGS graded coins. I am unclear what motivated you to crack these from the PCI holders, but my opinion is you just lost a lot of value. In the future if you want a coin in NGC or PCGS plastic is is better to buy the coin already in that plastic unless you are an expert grader.
