Big Nub numismatics

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.

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!

The ANAregistry.com website isn't even up yet.

It's every collectors dream though...

I'll need better photos to make an accurate guess.

Well despite all these COMICAL comments I will again stand firm and say that what I SEE AND KNOW is that environmental damage does not cause a dime to ever have A PERFECTLY EVEN MATTE FINISH ON BOTH SIDES OF A COIN  . Its that simple .... And its almost impossible if not impossible altogether to simply sandblast or acid dip any coins without affecting the COPPER and CLAD EDGES as also demonstrated in the photos which im sure that alot of the TROLLS here can see and yet repeatedly attempt to suggest without providing ONE EXAMPLE of other coins to show how likely that really is ... 

Oh and one more very important FACT ... having rounded and worn edges on a coin from 1993 should be VERY self explanatory for any coin collector or expert . However if i need to try and explain how rounded and worn edges can occur over time then i can certainly try if that would help as I am no expert ... although something in my gut is already telling me that you probably are already FULLY AWARE of this despite what your suggesting .... just like saying that the grooves on the edges of the coin now somehow magically has the same Frosted finish as the rest of the coin despite all the photos showing that its doesn't which leads me to believe that what YOU'RE SAYING is either in your IMAGINATION or that your computer screen really needs to be cleaned because it is being affected by a rare form of fairy 🧚‍♀️ dust ....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't see any doubling, but the pictures are good enough to get an accurate look at the coin.

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. 

We will remember this thread for a very long time lol.

Let us know how it goes, or wait another few years to ask some other forums sight until they agree with you.

No, it seems it's almost impossible to do one without the other, especially in NCS' case.

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?

There will be a few record breakers in there. 

"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.
