I think that is a bit high, however I'm not in the market for these and not really paying that much attention to the price differences for graded vs raw. I do know there is a member on the PCGS forum selling all six (five morgan and one peace) raw coins for $845 shipped OBO. As to the advice, my advice is do what makes you happy.

Welcome to the forum, @Just Bob is spot on with his explanation. Not an error and due to the damage this coin no longer has any collector value.

Well said and I could not agree more. As someone that has served I was very fortunate to have served during a peaceful time (82-90 US Army Transportation officer), and was spared the pain associated with a war. While I respect the right of any legal citizen to peaceful protest; kneeling for the national anthem is a disgusting selfish display of cowardice. It is especially disgusting when it is done by individuals that earn millions of dollars each week because of the freedoms they have in this country.

I used to think that coins like this would be cool to own, as I've moved further into my collecting ages I've realized that coins like this are really just trophy coins for the mega rich. I do not wish to imply that those who have owned or do own one do not enjoy them, rather that at some level it is about putting your name on the ownership history. There are a few coins that fit into this ego building arena besides just these five. As such even if I had the funds I really doubt that I would ever really want to own one now, probably never find out I guess. It is awesome that these types of coins do get displayed rather regularly so that us mere mortals can at least be able to see one.

For those that are claiming this could be a brockage, I'm thinking there is some confusion on what a brockage is: A Brockage occurs when a mirror image of a coin is struck on a blank. After a struck coin fails to eject, a new blank is fed between the struck coin and the hammer die. The hammer die strikes the second blank leaving its image on one side while pressing the blank against the previously stuck coin which sinks its image into opposite side. Here is a good example of a brockage error, there are some examples where the brockage image is quite sharp, but those are exceptions not the norm. Please note the orientation of this example in the medal orientation. I personally believe that the really sharply struck brockage coins were created by the mint employees, however that is just my own personal belief and I have no hard facts to prove it.

I'm sorry but I do not see any resemblance between your coin and this photo.

Vice job, someone took another cent and pressed it into this one with a bench press or hammer or such. Not an error and has no value.

That is a neat video.

I never pay much attention to post count, I know of several PCGS forum members that have put up massive post counts is a very short time but never say anything that I find of value to read. Same thing here with posters here like slick or ratzze, lots of posts about junk or nothing at all.

There is no harm in putting up an ad here in the marketplace, just know in advance that this site does not generate a ton of eyeballs to see the ad. Certainly ebay is another good option, the fees are higher so you would want to bump the price up a bit from what you might be willing to sell here for. Selling to a local dealer is another option, depends on if you have any around you and if they are worth visiting. Obviously you will not maximize the dollars selling to a dealer but it is a quick. If you have posting privileges on other coin forums (PCGS, coin talk as examples) placing want to sell ads on those forums is also an easy option and you may generate more views at those locations vs the marketplace here. I do not think that Ian at Great Collections lists raw mint products but you could double check on that as a possible option. If none of those pan out then you could have the coins graded and use an auction house like GC, assuming that he does not list them raw. And the last option I can think of is if there is a coin show large or local in your area you could see what dealers are offering buying at during the show. Selling to another collector via one of the coin forums or on ebay will give you the best chance to maximize the dollars, just depends on the market demand for what you have to sell.

Well for the modern stuff do some market research and see what the avg selling prices (not asking prices) are and then decide is it worth the added costs and the extra time in the hope of getting a 70 grade. If you don't get a 70 grade will you be able to get back some of the grading costs in three months when you get the coins back, and of course there is the unknown tangible of where will the market be in three months, up down or the same. While I'm not in the modern market from what I have seen the 2021 Peace has been selling in the mint packaging for a nice profit, I would be tempted to sell now and take the profit rather than spend monies to grade and risk the uncertainties. But I'm not a big risk taker, I follow the old saying that goes: you never go broke taking a gain. For the 20th century stuff again look at the market for what you have and see what those are selling for. Once you know where the market is you can then make an informed decision on how to proceed.

Keep those sites that I linked and the one that @GBrad did also handy. We love helping folks but ideally we want to give you the information so you can help yourself. So in the future you can first review those sites for any possible matches and then if your not sure post and ask us to verify your findings.

Great coins everyone!!

You are fine and nobody is angry with you, asking questions is the way to learn. My reply was rather short as I have seen this many times where I realize that you may not have. As a learning lesson I suggest that you soak your cent in some pure acetone, not nail polish remover but some pure acetone. It can be found at most hardware stores, use in a well ventilated area in a small glass dish with a lid and let it soak for a half hour or so. The glue or whatever is on the coin will dissolve away or be softened to a degree that it will lift away from the coin. Please note that if you are of a young age have a parent help you with this.

Did you check the usual reference sites to see if it matches any known DDO's? Variety Vista Wexler's

Glue not a lamination error.

Just a lite touch of gold and blue tone.

Some great blast white coins in this thread.

Some of the old holders were really good at imparting that rim toning, the ACG holders and the small white ANACS holders always seemed to have that rim tone. Here are a couple of mine in those old holders that fit. Notice on the ACG holder how the tone is heavier toward the label.

As a copper collector primarily I prefer bright red copper but I can also appreciate (and do own) some very beautiful red brown and brown copper coins. For silver I too really like nice blast white coins, but that does depend on the age of the coin. Blast white on most uncirculated 20th and 21st century silver coins looks stunning, conversely blast white on an early 1800's coin looks odd. So while I prefer white the farther back in time I go (and the lower the grade) the more I expect to see some level of tone including heavy dark crusty toning.

I have always like this design simple and elegant.

I guess this will not be a G rated thread.

Lets see your best blast white coins for a weekend post in the sprit of a PCGS poster known as ricko. Any coin US or world a full blown white out!
