I remember reading the fact that if you send in a slabed coin and they find anything out of ordinary on the coin like crowed/defected ect... they won't crack it open and do anything with it. They will say it's not eligible. Once I find were I read that I will post a pic of it. But when they say not eligible on one document, and then say not the request variety. It's just telling me if the error or variety isn't in the books there not going to look at it. Which I should have known because you all are big in telling us to look for the variety and errors that are already known in the books. I've been trying to reach out to Wexler's to look at some of my stuff first before getting it graded, but no luck. It's a little confusing to me but I'm working on it. Pretty much if I find a error it has to be attributed first, because I'm taking that anacs isn't going confirm unless it's in the books. Or I could be wrong, still just learning how this works.

Right! Look like a series of experiments in the future for all of us lol.

Thank you Coinbuf, I just need to be a little bit more careful and forsure sending anything in next time. I do understand this happens in the hobby but I'll keep moving forward in hunting and finding coin's.

Idk, I must be doing my research wrong . Not finding anything that people are collecting not genuine/fake coin's. I have two documents saying differently and third is what you see on the web site when entering the cert#. One says acid treated and not genuine, and the other saying acid treated with a price value. I apologize but I'm confused.

I'm not knocking down grading company's, I have no reason for that. I point out anything that don't look right. Just for everyone to know if it's mint or grading error. But I feel I'm in the wrong for doing that, so in short words I'm just being honest. Now people are doing liposuction on coin's to make them thin. I believe there's no chemical out there that will shrink a coin that thin without destroying the obverse and reverse very badly. I'm not disputing the fact that it's been acid treated/clean. But the coin on the other hand not genuine/fake. There's a 1970 d slabed and labeled struck on a dime stock/cleaned. The research I'm pulling up is there's no reason for anyone to make a not genuine/fake quarter. If that's the case then my research says I have a illegal coin in my possession. Which says there's no Numismatic value on not genuine/fake coin's. So it comes down to it's genuine or not genuine. Reason I'm saying this is because the grading company put a price value on the not genuine/fake coin. So I must have the first valued not genuine/fake coin out there. I apologize on alot that I'm saying because the research is right, but the grading company is not giving us info on there confirmation on the coin. So this way we all know what to look for incase this happens again. That should be our right to know. This should go viral threw the Numismatic for collectors to know there's fake quarters out there to be on the look out for. Idk I'm just saying.

I sent this one in also, but they say not eligible. Just was being curious to what it might come back as. I won't do this again for a long time. The number for this is 7101011.

Well everyone, it's not genuine. it came back acid treated. Man, thought I had a good one here. O well, better luck next time. I'm still loving the hobby and of course hunting to whatever I find. Here's the number they emailed me 7101012. The items are being shipped back to me starting today. This is a really good experience for me, to the means of being careful when finding unusual coin's. If it wasn't for you all I would be sitting duck on other coin's you have helped me with. I wouldn't know what I know today. You all are great, thanks for all advice you've gave me.

Thanks everyone, I'm just putting this in my safe.

Hi everyone, I bought this coin for 20 bucks. Well I'm concerned, everyone on here is teaching us that if there scratches or hits in the steps they don't qualify as full steps. I'm not understanding because I have a few with less hits and scratches, then this one you see in the photo. I have no 50 Ds but some other older one's I have put away. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Hmmm

So I dropped this coin off at Anacs on March 3rd and another to be graded. This is my first time ever doing this, but thought I would give it a try. My question is does anyone know the process of updates or anything how stuff like this works. I'm not in no hurry or impatient just wondering how grading company's work. Thanks for any thoughts on this. And yes pretty excited on knowing what they will come back as.

Thought this was a cool find, just trying to figure out if it's a straight clip or ragged clip. I'm looking for photos so I can get a better look. Hmmm.

Thank you, I thought so but wasn't to sure.

So would this be damaged, just because there's no way this happened during the minting process. I want to say someone heated that coin and made it look that way. It's on both sides of coin but opposite sides. Any thoughts would be helpful thanks.

Thanks everyone, there's a guy in the next town from me, and he has the 2020-W American Samoa. He wants to sell it to me, but keeps procrastinating. I'll give it some more time eventually he will say here take it.

Sorry I was out helping family, but was still reading on the thread. Didn't want to do or saying anything until I got back to my desk with a little research I pulled up. I'm going to have to buy another scale, this coin is bouncing back and forth from 3.91 to 3.96. I feel like I'm still in the tolerance of the weight. And its the same diameter of another quarter. I took a couple pics. Kurt seriously bud, another pipe dream . What dream pipe are you smoking, whatever it is share the wealth. True , I do dream I feel if I can fulfill them I will. Don't know why you're being so harsh like that on newbies. To be honest with you, I don't set my goals so high were I can't reach them. Made that mistake a couple of times and I learned hard not to do that again. So back to the coin, I'm going to be in Denver Monday, I'm dropping off the coin to Anacs. So hopefully it all comes back well.

I'm feeling this is right, never knew anything about these. Pretty cool and interesting. I put a dime and quarter together to see the thinness. And the weight is about right I think.

So I found this article, and both positions A&B are common on business strikes. But proof sets are different. My scope didn't want to comply but I did the best I can trying to show heads side up with upside down lettering. If this article is true then do i might have something. Just wondering thanks.

Thank you.

Ok thanks conder101, is is it common to have a rotated edge lettering. Because I know right side up and right side down is normal. Theses coin are confusing at times lol.

Thank you, I figured one might be large, but it's hard sometimes going back and forth looking at photos and the coin's.

I am looking at the photos on line to see the different between the two MM but still not for sure. What do you all think, do I have both varieties or two of the same large or the small. Thanks

I don't know if this would be a die clash or doubling. I looked at the overlay but it doesn't match up. Hmmm, any help would be appreciated thanks.

Are these considered error or varieties. Extra stars or extra lettering. I'm trying to research on this but it's only showing other errors than what I'm looking for. Or is this just common.

Finally I find something with a "W" on it. Pretty shocked I found this. Now I need to find the others lol.

THAT'S FUNNY!! What club are you going to. You must have not drank enough.
