  1. What grade would you like https://www.ebay.com/b/1943-D-Nickel/41087/bn_7023285536
  2. Welcome to the forum. This is the forum for registered sets “NGC Registry”. If you are wanting to sell these coins, post in the Coin Marketplace forum and follow the instructions in the Coin Marketplace Guidlines sub forum near the top. You are supplying virtually no information required for selling coins.
  3. 5.0 is just an average. There is a +- tolerance of .19 g on quarters so anywhere between 4.81g and 5.19g is acceptable. Your scale only goes to one decimal point ( if you are going to weigh coins, a scale to at least two decimals is necessary) so it is probably within spec taking the wear into account.
  4. All I see is a worn dime with some damage. There is only one mint mark and not a doubled ear. Not sure what a “die cut with his hair “ is.
  5. Welcome to the Chat Board It is what is called a partial grease filled die, a minor error. Not uncommon and adds little or no value.
  6. Instead of five photos of the obverse, please show one of the reverse.
  7. Welcome to the forum Please explain what you mean by “looks unique”. At first glance it looks like a regular quarter. Also please get in the habit of rotating your photos properly and show both sides.
  8. Good luck then, I hope it is genuine. It would be nice to have a genuine coin found after all of the counterfeits we see on the forum. Please do give us the results either way for our own education.
  9. Don’t know how a coin can be “slightly “ broadstruck, it either is or isn’t. I see nothing unusual about the OP’s dime. Die wear and circulation wear can make minor changes to appearances.
  10. I would submit it just to prove its authenticity. It is the third most commonly counterfeited US coin.
  11. This is the forum for registered sets, you should have posted this in the newbie forum. Have asked that it be moved to the appropriate forum. Why would you want to clean a top pop? You could ruin by trying to clean it. Not only that, you would have to remove from its holder and pay to get it regraded. Also NCS does not clean coins, they conserve them, a big difference.
  12. Welcome to the forum As stated, just a stained cent, sometimes called coffee cup coins. If you are going to get into the error world of coins, suggest you do some studying on what constitutes. a real error and also study on how coins are minted. This will save you a lot of time road. Also you should. be able to distinguish between a variety and an error, they are too different things. Remember, it is only an. error if it happens during the striking of the coin, anything that happens after that is considered damage. Suggest reading some of the websites that EagieRJO has provided under “Basic Resources & Glossary”. at the top of this page. Also get yourself a Redbook for general references.
  13. C.j.4 In the future, please put the date and denomination in your heading. You have two listings that almost have the same heading.
  14. Sand on just beat me to it. The new closeup photos just confirm what I had suspected earlier, it is damage from a hit of the reeding of another coin.They are called bag marks.
  15. And how many “Newbies” do you expect to read this. Most of them don’t even read the top two pinned threads on posting and basic resources
  16. Can’t be repunched, they stopped hand punching dies in 1989. Looks like Machine Doubling.
  17. It looks like it was plated at one time and the plating is wearing off. Without clear cropped photos, it is hard to say for sure. Impossible to tell if it is a DD.
  18. Would you take a closeup of that area. To me it looks like a hit from the reeding from another coin. There would be a raised area from the displacement of the metal. In any case, it would certainly not be worth spending $55-60.00 to get graded. Not sure why anyone who new anything about coins would tell you it was an error.
  19. Hard to tell without pictures but about 90% of the time someone thinks they have a Doubled Die, it is just worthless Machine Doubling. Also if you have a couple of letters “messed up”, then it is probably damage.
  20. There is nothing on that dime that can’t be attributed to damage. Even if there was an error, in that condition there would be no premium. Not sure what research you are doing, are you checking out sites such as error-ref.com. to see what real errors look like.
  21. Welcome to the forum Looks like scratch that runs from the S in STATES to the eagles talons. This is considered damage.
  22. Nice cent but unless you think it is worth more than $150.00, it would not be worth the cost of grading.
  23. It is PMD because it could not have happened during the striking of the coin which is the only time an error can occur. Anything that happens after that is damage, no matter how it occurred. You have to study on how coins are made and what an actual error is if you are going to be looking for errors. The same goes for varieties which is a whole different thing.
  24. Agree with I.cutler Note the rough surface. Looks like it has had an acid bath which would reduce the weight.
