    You can’t have a lamination error on a clad coin, they generally only appear on solid alloy coins. What you have is just damage but still worth 25 cents
  2. Greenstang
    If you are selling these coins, please follow the instructions in the Coin Marketplace Guidelines thread. You have supplied no information whatsoever.

    First, a DDO is a variety, not an error. Looks like you may have a new discovery on a 2024 cent. If it is a DDO then there’s would be hundreds of thousands the same out there waiting to be discovered. Check with Variety Vista to see if anyone else has reported this variety and if not can you get it attributed. Looks similar to this Double Ear but not quite as large

    That is called split plate doubling, another of the worthless types of doubling. Also the correct terminology is Doubled Die and they are not errors but varieties.

    Welcome to the NGC Chat Board It looks to me like that it is Die Deterioration Doubling ( another worthless type of doubling) by looking at the the flow marks and how all the “doubling” is flowing towards the rim. This is caused by a worn die and is fairly common.

    Hard to say when you only show a partial coin with the top missing but from what I can see I would say no. What makes you think it is FS-101? In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail clearly.
  7. Greenstang
    Agree, genuine coin that has been counterstamped. No value except as a novelty.

    Just a well worn and corroded 1943S steel cent. Don’t think it would even classify as a Lowball.

    Welcome to the NGC Chatboard. There are several members here ( including myself) from Canada. Hope you enjoy your stay here. We have many knowledgeable members in all aspects of Numasmitics. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Always supply a clear photo of both sides of the coin you are referring to.

    Welcome to the Chat Board To answer your question, it has a value of 25 cents. Just too many of them produced to have any premium when circulated.
  11. Greenstang
    If you don’t have one in better condition, then why not keep it until a better one comes along.
  12. Greenstang
    Keep them if you like but as Mike stated, they are not real coins and have no Numismatic value.

    Welcome to the forum Did you have a question regarding your cents?

    Morse Code “ We win when we work willingly”

    Why would you want to spend $55-60.00 having it graded. It is not a Doubled Die and would just come back as a regular circulated grade worth about a dollar Nice album coin at the best.

    Lamination problem caused by the poor mixing of the alloy.
  17. Greenstang
    Even with increasing the size of supplied photos, I can see no sign of DD. Much better photos by the way.

    It would be hard for anyone with even slight knowledge of the minting process to disagree with this one.
  19. Greenstang
    Filled mint marks are quite common on P and D mint marks. They are known as a broken post as the interior post breaks off from continued use. Once a post breaks, every coin struck after that would show this so there are probably tens of thousands the same. They are also not an error but just part of the minting process.

    Agree with Sandon, it is just one of the many counterfeits for sale. You see them on Etsy quite often. It would be hard for me to believe that a 225 year old dollar still retained all it’s original shine.
  21. Greenstang
    You didn’t have to delete the first post, all you had to do was add the reverse picture to that post. Not to worth though, we all screw up up occasionally and you will know for the next time.
  22. Greenstang
    That looks like split plate doubling around the top of the letters.
  23. Greenstang
    Certainly note the 3 over 2 variety. Just look at the edge to see if it is plated. If the edge looks the same as both sides, then it is plated. If you can see the steel core, it is original.
  24. Greenstang
    How is anyone supposed to know this without going through the other posts. It would make more sence to post both of them on the same thread.

    Welcome to the Forum] This is the forum for buying/selling coins. I have asked that your post be moved to the "Newbie" Forumm. As far as your quarter goes, it is just a severely damaged coin. That could not have happened when the coin was struck. Also please get in the habit of posting photos of both sides of the coin, even if you do not think it is necessary.
