    Thanks for the feedback everyone! You gave me a few laughs lol.

    As long as it is an undamaged coin with a mint defect, I'm ecstatic. Grease strike throughs are the most common mint error, so a high premium would already be hard to come by.

    I picked this up for a few dollars from a junk bin. I purchased this because of how cheap it was, and the fact that it might be a grease strike through error. It is a solid VG (in my opinion) except for the missing design elements where "America" should be on the obverse. There is obviously some wear, but I'm unaware of any coins that have uneven were to account for this. These are the best pictures I could get, and I know this will affect your opinion. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

    What a find! This looks to be a true retained struck through. The right collector will pay a handsome amount, just make sure you keep th black piece along with it.
  5. Big Nub numismatics
    Nice find, must have been near when they decided to replace the die.

    I like how we've all tried to stay away but this thread is all too much fun!
  7. Big Nub numismatics
    The ANAregistry.com website isn't even up yet.
  8. Big Nub numismatics
    It's every collectors dream though...
  9. Big Nub numismatics
    I'll need better photos to make an accurate guess.

    I mean, I don't know much about nature, but I'm pretty sure both acid etching and sandblasting are not from the environment. So RR2020 does have a point.

    However annoying, his use of capitalized words are impeccable. I could hear him pounding his keyboard and angrily typing all the way over hear. I wonder if he has better things to do than try to persuade others into his numismatic cult of worshipping the false matte dime.

    1-2 cents

    I don't see any machine doubling, that is just light reflecting of the edges of the devices. This is just a common zincoln.
  14. Big Nub numismatics
    That looks like PMD. Someone shaved off most of this coin's design, or maybe it went through the laundry. If it wasn't, it would be more of a strike through rather than die adjustment marks. Die adjustment marks ceased to exist in the mid to late 19th century. The mint got things down pat after that and there was no need.
  15. Big Nub numismatics
    The coin is typical for its condition. I'm not seeing any doubling. The mark on seven is PMD, and i don't even see machine doubling anywhere else.
  16. Big Nub numismatics
    It's possibly also a small 1 or 2 gram silver piece. I've never seen a miniature coin with this design before, pretty cool though.
  17. Big Nub numismatics
    It's pretty hard to differentiate between what's on the holder and what's on the coin, but this coin looks mighty authentic. What I believe you re referring to are the lines produced during the planchet's creation. I have no idea why someone would clean a coin like this anyway.
  18. Big Nub numismatics
    I don't see any doubling, but the pictures are good enough to get an accurate look at the coin.
  19. Big Nub numismatics
    Another place to look at, depending on what coins you are looking for, is auction prices realized. I don't know if NGC has a similar feature, but PCGS, in their price guide, has past auctions for a certain coin, as well as anyone selling one on the internet at the time.
  20. Big Nub numismatics
    We will remember this thread for a very long time lol.
  21. Big Nub numismatics
    Let us know how it goes, or wait another few years to ask some other forums sight until they agree with you.
  22. Big Nub numismatics
    No, it seems it's almost impossible to do one without the other, especially in NCS' case.
  23. Big Nub numismatics
    There are many coin collectors/dealers on here that have respectable opinions that I value. Here, I give the question: How do you define cleaning/ restoring? and Is it "ok"/ market acceptable to restore a coin?
  24. Big Nub numismatics
    There will be a few record breakers in there.
  25. Big Nub numismatics
    "hypothetical" you say. They are just humans after all. I would take it to get a few more looks, and see what other dealers/collectors say. I wouldn't let this person sell these coins without another opinion. Perhaps you could bust them out and send them to the other TPG again.
