    Correct, it is the distance from the leaf. This also applies to 1922, 1926, 1929, 1934 and 1936 years which had the Near Far varieties.

    It is just damage. The fact that you say the coin is bent verifies that.

    Please explain “retained strike through”. Is this a new type of error

    Depends on whether you are looking to sell it or keep it. Sell- yes. Keep- no.

    Correct, it is a Far Date. Nice find. I usually just go by the distance between the 3 and 2. If the distance is equal, it is a Near Date, if the 2 is closer to the 3, it is a Far Date.

    I agree. Just a regular 1990 business strike. What makes you think it is a proof?
  12. Greenstang
    It is neither a Struck THROUGH or a Broadstruck that I can see. To show if it is rotated, take a photo in front of a mirror so we can see both sides at once.

    Just something on the coin, whatever it is, it didn’t happen when the cent was struck. Also as Coinbuf no red, do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small detail.

    No, that is a Close AM. In the future, include a complete photo of the coin. There are other and better markers in telling the difference between a CAM and WAM . Also do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.

    Welcome to the forum To get a coin graded, it should have a value of at least $150.00 to make it worthwhile. Just because a coin is beautiful, it does not make it valuable. What you have without seeing them would probably make good album fillers. If you would like to post a clear photo of both sides of the coins we might be able to help you further.

    You’re right, the last one is just damage. The first one is a MAD, not an off centre strike.

    Let us know how you made out. Post the results on the end of this forum.

    Nothing really to think about. It is just a regular 1982D copper Large Date that had hundreds of millions minted. Worth 1 cent in that condition.

    Welcome to the forum Why would you want a common quarter to be graded. It would cost you about $55-60.00 to grade. Getting coins graded without the proper knowledge is a great way to lose money. There were over 860 million D mintmark produced and with the condition of yours with the damage isn’t worth much more than face value. Unless a coin is worth at least $150- 200.00, it is not worth the cost of grading.
