I would see this as an AU53 myself, cool find in a roll.

I have always wondered how this looks after a few years of accidents.

Assuming that you have already searched them for any known varieties, roll them up and deposit them at your bank. Each cent is worth about $.02 for the copper value, however, it is illegal to melt them and thus they are only worth face value.

Looks like glue or some type of similar residue.

Very very far away from reality

Good coins for an album, but nothing that will stop traffic. Just simple strike doubling on the dime, and agree that would not receive a FB designation.

Yep a very nice example of strike doubling.

Fake news, as usual.

Both appear to be dryer coins or possibly spooned. Here is a link that explain what a dryer coin is, spooned coins look very similar to a dryer coin. And as the name implies this effect can be done by lightly tapping the edge of a coin with a spoon, rotate and tap again rinse and repeat a whole bunch of times and you get a coin with a very wide rim that seems very close to the letters. Dryer coin Also when discussing error coins, (or possible error coins) it is very helpful if you can provide an exact weight and dimensions to help answer your questions.

Welcome to the forum. Agreed it is not a proof coin, it is a very nice coin for an album but would not really grade high enough to be worth the cost financially. Also I would highly recommend that you hold all your coins by the edges only, human skin has many oils and those oils can leave fingerprints on the surface of coins and ruin any numismatic value.

Yes that is a small date, however, if you are asking is this worth big bucks the answer is no. It is the 1982 D small date that is worth big money not the Philadelphia minted coin like you have

Sounds like you have several weekends ahead of you. If you do not have one get yourself a redbook, you may even find one at your local library if you choose not to buy one. While the pricing will not be completely relevant to the current market, it has all the information you need to determine which coins are more valuable and in demand. I also suggest that you acquaint yourself with the NGC coin explorer section of NGC's website, between those two you have all the resources you need to do the research and learn what you have. Should you wish a deeper dive into your coins here are a couple of excellent resource sites. Variety Vista Lincoln cent resource

Lol well what I meant was there are the lowball coin collectors, mint state coins are far from their minds as they search for PO1 coins.

Welcome to the forum. There were almost 28 million 1909 VDB cents minted (as opposed to less than 500 thousand of the 1909 S VDB) and because it was a first year for the Lincoln cent design a large portion of the mintage was horded. As a result, these are quite plentiful and easy to find in all but the very highest grades. It is not possible to determine the grades of all your coins in a group shot like this, however, all your coins are circulated examples with values that will range from less than a dollar to perhaps three dollars each retail at most. So none of your coins would be worth the cost of submitting for grading, but they all look like very nice coins for collectors looking for album coins. The problem is the supply is greater than the demand for lower grade examples and selling individually can be a challenge. Many new collectors think that a coin this old must be valuable, however, that is not true in every case. Value is a function of a coin's condition and rarity, you need to have at least one of those conditions to drive demand. In the case of circulated 1909 VDB cents neither of those conditions can be achieved. There are two varieties that NGC does recognize and those have a slightly higher value than a non variety example. So you might want to see if any of your coins are one of those two varieties, you can see the identifying features by reviewing the variety plus section of the main NGC website.

Just wondering if you saw the final hammer on that PCGS MS67 1940-S half I can say for sure that I did not buy it! Just over 20K without the juice and shipping, wow.

Haven't hear or read anything on this myself, sounds rather bogus to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but I do not think it would fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI.

Well there are those lowball guys. @J P Mashoke a couple of nice coins with solid eye appeal, congrats.

I like Northeast also, have a coin on layaway now just one more payment.

As the number of collector submitters has grown as well as the flipper dealers, there are more submitters using the "throw it all at the wall and see what sticks" strategy now than in the past. It used to be that only the best coins got submitted, partly because dealers have to pay for the coins that do not pass where the collector submitter does not. And also partly due to the TPG's adding CAC sets to the registries, so it is easy to just send it all rather than weed out the chaff. I have no idea how long this can last before even the collectors run out of kitchen sink material to send, probably awhile.

A missing clad layer coin will be much lighter yours weighs right where a normal clad quarter should, not a missing clad layer.

Perhaps, have you weighed the coin and if so what is the weight. Error-Ref.com has some good info on planchet errors. Error-Ref

Here is a link that explains improper annealing Error reference

He/she is holding the coin in the proper way by the edges so no problems there. The color, especially the obv, looks suspect to me so it is not a coin I would be interested in buying; however, I am sure that it is "worth it" to some buyers.

Congrats on your results. Glad that my concerns on the half were not an issue.

Again typical of your need to brag, you are a sad little man boy.
