Remember: it used to be money. (It still is, of course. But you know what I mean.) There was a day when that was no more special to anyone than is a common presidential dollar today. They thought no more of vandalizing it than we do of running a 2017 penny through an elongate machine.

Yeah, it is money, I can still take it to the bank and get a dollar worth.

It's not worth much regardless, but have another look. I'm suspicious of these kinds of things when the "graffiti" appears to originate right up against raised features or passes under them (particularly that olive leaf). How is it that the "scratches" don't distinctly cross the wreath or the feathers, but originate right up against them?

From the picture it is hard to see but they do extend into the feathers and the olive branches.

One possibility would be that the scratches were put on when the coin was AU or so, but the lines which were once on the high points have since been worn away, while the lower area - the field - was somewhat protected.

I think that is what happened. It might have been a test by someone it ensure that the coin was real silver. it is a shame. the scratches are deep that it would be hard to get it polished for a key chain. I think keychain is the best bet.

I don't think it is any of the TOP 50 VAM type. 

Why would anyone do such a thing, I wonder what went through their mind. or were they trying to clean it? I payed basically melt value for it. about 15 bucks. throw it with the stackers  . perhaps make a keychain out of it or something. put it to use. Paper weight.

Thank you @Just Bob and @JKK

Thank you @Greenstang  I keep forgetting about Grease filled dies and die chips. 

It will go into the collection tray this Sunday

I came across this half dollar,  kind of interesting but not enough to be an error perhaps. or a virarity, Still pretty cool. I thought I 'd share before I spend it. 

The F is very faint and the G at the top looks like it doubled but could just be damage. 

Does this look like blood spatter? I don't know if I want tp bring this in the house.   

Hello all, 

I recently this coin what was in a lot. I was basically more interested in the lot than the coin because if the deliberate damage on the reverse. What do you guys think? is it now a cull Melt value coin or did it retain some of its worth? I did not pay much (very cheap) for it and was able to lower the cost of the lot because of this.

Reverse Proofs are not assigned that designation.

I kind of came to that conclusion when It didn't get it. I was like "WHY?" but logically, mirror parts of the coin are less than the regular proof. I think it be kinda hard to say with certainty, of any reverse proofs. 

how did I do with the Ultra Cameo?  @VKurtB

Sometimes they're tough to spot initially but after you see it you'll wonder how you missed it.

O-M-G, I have seen this on Lincoln cents. where they are more visible. I guess I was more excited about having found a full steps and didn't pay much attention to the rest of the coin.   definitely have to be more careful. 

Thank you @LISA B . 

I need to keep learning and ask more questions. I bet if I asked I would have been saved the trouble.

I did get the two innovation proofs back at MS70 happy about that, but it is hard to get a low grade on those. IMO.  My 2019 S cent came back as MS69 and I was expecting that. 

I was expecting my 1970 S to come back S/S but no cigar

I got three disappointments in my recent submissions. 

The first I don't understand. I am still waiting on the coins to be returned. 

waiting on pictures

What does this even mean? 

Comment

OBVERSE WHEEL MARK

 

If I want this label, does the coin have to be older that 1955? or can it be used with moder, bullion coins?

Thank you

  Very nice find. It is exciting when someone finds a gem of a coin. Congrats. 

What is up with all the sideways pictures? rotate please

Are these good enough?  I have the reverse pics too.

 

 

 

I think, Posting front and back of each coin separately will help the gurus here tell you with certainty if they are real or not.

It's not whizzing. I'm not sure what would have caused it, possibly chemically attacked. Maybe someone else will have a better explanation.

Didn't we see one of these a while back, 1970's Lincoln and it turned out that that someone possibly cleaned it with a very powerful sonic cleaner. I am thinking industrial size like the one used to clean automotive parts. 

either that or very serious plating deterioration. 

Those are the two areas the article talks about. but it it is not in the holder it be hard to get it authenticated as the First Strike Delaware. IMO.

Just bob. It looks pretty good to me 

I think what you are seeing is PMD. 

If you are looking for the ones from the Ceremony, whey will probably be in the holder. otherwise it would be hard to get them certified without the following. 

might help if you post full pictures of the entire coin. front and back. 

it just looks like heavy wear or heavy damage.

You can Google it for an image. 2019 Floating Head Cent.

Is it only the Philadelphia mint? we don't very many Philly's in the west coast. mostly Denver mint.
