Coinbuf

There are some ways to mitigate some of the risks. Loss during shipping is one of the biggest risks, so when you decide to have it and/or others graded try and see if there is a large coin show near you. At many of the major shows either NGC or PCGS (or both) may offer on site grading, this is more costly than sending to the TPG but you will get the coin graded and back to you in just a couple of days and you have no risk of loss during shipping. If that is not an option then shipping with private insurance is a very smart choice. Nothing says steal me to a postal employee like a package with $10K worth of insurance on the label. And always double box any coins of value or personal significance, the extra couple of dollars is money well spent.

You have much to learn grasshopper.

Your photo is not sharp enough to say for sure, but like @Sandon I am leaning towards it being a lamination error.

I can only speak for myself, but when this question gets asked here, and it does get asked often; my reply is what do you want to do with the coin. If your goal is to sell in the very near future, then yes having the coin graded could be beneficial. However, if you are going to hold the coin then there is no real benefit to spending money on grading at this time.

No none of these Indian Head cents are in good enough condition to send to a grading company, save your money.

Rim damage is a tough call, I've seen many worse that straight graded and many with slighter damage that were bagged or details graded. If I were betting on the outcome I would say it will get a details grade, but I would not be surprised if it straight graded too.

You are the type of corrupt slimy type of person that gives numismatics a bad name.

As both are heavily counterfeited so unless you are extremely confident in the source of your raw coins you would be far ahead of the game to buy one or both of these coins in a reputable TPG holder. That does not guarantee that you will not buy a counterfeit but you have the TPG guaranty of authenticity to fall back on, there is seldom a guarantee like that from your local coin shop. You seem to have some real heartburn on this why? CAC is doing nothing different than NGC or PCGS yet you have singled them out and seem to be implying that they are harming submitters, why? Why is it ok for NGC to regrade a coin several times but it is not ok for CAC to review a coin more than once? I see no difference as both firms have the same opportunity to make grading fees from the same coin as many times as it is submitted. In fact CAC has on very rare occasion changed their opinion and have awarded a bean to a coin that failed the first time around. So a second look is not always a bad thing. In a conversation that I read with a top grader who had been with PCGS for a very long time he referred to some coins as "old friends" because during his grading time he had seen some coins so many times that they were instantly recognizable. When you consider the enormous volume of coins that graders see every day, it stands to reason that those old friend coins had to be submitted, and submitted and submitted a lot for them to be so easily remembered.

I would have to research the value of the Cal gold piece, but it is the only one I would even consider having graded. The bust half would likely receive a details grade due to the "X" scratched into the obv field, the others are just too low condition to be worth the cost imo. And just for clarity, the 1924 is a Peace dollar not a Morgan dollar.

Slight white is the name of the company, slight white has no affiliation with CAC. CAC chose the sticker colors, and as I said they do not identify coins that do not sticker to prevent impacting the value of those coins if/when they might be sold or auctioned off in the future. Would you want a brown turd sticker placed onto your favorite coin and see a 1/3rd reduction of its value in the marketplace, I doubt you would and thus why CAC does not make the information on coins that failed public. Just because a coin fails at CAC does not mean that the coin is junk, only that it does not qualify as solid (or better) for the grade in the opinion of CAC. Not all MS65's are equal, some are just better than others, CAC attempts to identify those with their sticker, a failed coin might be overgraded or have surface issues in the eyes of CAC, but just like grading it is only one opinion. I own several coins that I sent to CAC which failed and I still like those coins just as much today as when I bought them. Yes you pay for the opinion whether you like or agree with that opinion or not, same as when you send coins to NGC or PCGS. Talk to anyone that has submitted coins for grading, everyone has at one time or another gotten a coin back that did not grade or graded lower than they expected or agree with, and yes they still paid for that TPG service/grade opinion regardless of if they agree with it. Yes, again this is not news or new, it happens with graded coins as well. Have you ever cracked a coin out of a holder for your album? Perhaps when you or your heirs decide to sell that coin will you then send it to a TPG for grading (now at least the second time it will be graded) or perhaps the new owner will sent it to be graded. In many cases the grading companies have graded the same coins multiple times, this is not new.

Your photos are too fuzzy and out of focus to tell much, but from what I can see this appears to be worthless die deterioration.

Slight white sticker, they were discussed briefly earlier in this thread.

Yes, according to the CAC website they sticker around 45% of all coins sent to them. That is just a general stat which does not apply across all coin types, for example gold Saints have a very low stickering success rate vs Merc dimes that have a high success rate. CAC does not provide data on the coins they do not sticker to insure that those coins are not punished in the marketplace.

Damaged not a clash.

Just in case it wasn't clear, just damage.

How do you know that Larry? As I said I'm not a member of CT nor do I have any control of, moderation of, or interest in CT, so I have no idea why your account was banned. Perhaps @ldhair can shed some light on this as he seems to be suggesting that your IP was used twice.

Welcome to the forum, please in the future show a complete obv and rev photo that is properly orientated along with any closeups. Your coin is just damaged, likely from a coin rolling machine.

Welcome to the forum, there is really nothing that we can tell you about your specific coin with photos of it. In general a cent from 2021 is just a common coin, the US mint produced a few billion of them.

Once coins are minted they are sent in large ballistic 5000lb bags to the firms that distribute those coins. Lots of damage can happen along the way, quite often people ask about circular marks on uncirculated coins thinking they are errors. Those marks come from the counting/sorting/wrapping machines that are used to convert those 5000lb bags of coins into individual rolls. Those same machines also impart what are called wheel marks, these are small patches of hairlines (often very difficult to locate or see if you have not see them) that are caused by the rubber wheels of the machines when they rub or skid across a coin. And I cannot even begin to count the number of uncirculated coins I have seen over the years with staple scratches that happened because of carless handling by both collectors and dealers. These are just a few of ways that coins which would otherwise be straight graded unc's receive damage and are given details grades by the TPG's. It would be helpful to see the coins in question.

Welcome to the forum, the info Sandon provided is basically correct. The last mechanical error I had NGC paid for the shipping both ways and corrected the error, I cannot guarantee that NGC will cover the shipping for you but that was my experience. I recommend that you contact the NGC customer service by phone, explain the situation to them and perhaps they will send you a FedEx label (as they did for me) so you can ship these to them for correction.

PCGS will accept ANACS coins for crossover attempts and will assign the same grade if 1) you indicate on the submission form cross at same grade only, and 2) if the graders at PCGS agree with the grade assigned by ANACS. NGC does not accept crossovers from any other TPG except PCGS, so you would have to crack these coins out and submit them raw to NGC. From the photos I also do not see any chance that you would be successful at either NGC or PCGS in getting a FS or FBL designation.

Duplicate post

In my opinion none are worth getting graded with the exception of the possible strike through coin (sample) #2. That might barely be worth the cost if designated as a mint error by NGC, but even that one I would likely just sell raw. NGC only recognizes a single RPM for 1964-D cents and none of your coins appear to be a match from the closeups; overall the condition of each coin is that of low mint state or AU (almost uncirculated). This is a very common coin as the mint produced millions and they were saved in large quantities by the roll and bag. Aside from the possible strike through coin these coins are only worth $.50 each at the very most, dealers would pay a nickel each if they are in a generous mood.

The top coin may indeed be a legit strike through debris, it's hard to say for sure with photos taken while the coin is in a 2x2. Really an in hand look would be best to determine if any metal is piled up along the edges from an impact after the coin was minted. As it looks legit from what I can see it is a true mint error, but I agree that it is very minor, usually minor errors like this also have minor added value, less than $20 dollars would be my best guess. I also agree with Sandon that the second coin looks to just be a carbon/corrosion spot and not a strike through.

Well should I be gentle or not. Ok the good, at $25 you paid basically melt, so if silver spot continues to rise, as some are thinking it will; you have an opportunity to resell in the near future and make a couple of bucks on it; which could possibly turn it into a good bullion play. The bad, if silver spot drops you are left holding the bag. The ugly, well that is obvious, this is one fugly coin with issues. There is no real reason to try and grade this coin, it has AU details from what I can see, however, the spots and what appears to be some active corrosion/PVC make it a details coin at best. I would highly recommend that you take it out of that 2X2 and give it an acetone bath to remove any PVC or active gunk that may be hiding in those corrosion spots. Throw that 2X2 away and get a new one so as not to transfer anything to the post acetone coin. I would also recommend that you pay close attention to silver spot and unload this as soon as you see the spot price rise a few dollars. In this condition the coin will never have any numismatic value, it will always just be a bullion play type of coin.
