    I say it is just a 1957 Nickel. What you think,is a D is just a mark on the field.
  2. Greenstang
    What Fenntucky Mike plus the fact that if it was missing the clad layer, it would show signs of being weakly struck.
  3. Greenstang
    I think the words you are looking for is Die Deterioration.
  4. Greenstang
    A two headed nickel with solder on it. Looks like two nickels that have been joined together, nice novelty coin.
  5. Greenstang
    That is Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling that occurs on over 60% of the Statehood quarters.
  6. Greenstang
    If it is a wrong planchet, then what planchet would it be struck on that is the same weight and size as a regular quarter? To me it is just an environmentally damaged quarter. Try rubbing the surface, sometimes you can rub the discolouration off.

    Welcome to the Chat Board This Forum is for registered sets, have requested that it be moved to the Newbie forum Your dollar is not an error, it has been damaged, looks like reed marks from another coin. Also how do you know it is not silver, that is an uncirculated silver clad set.
  8. Greenstang
    Not a lamination error. To avoid confusion, Please do not post more than one coin on the same thread.
  9. Greenstang
    Not a cud, just a severely damaged dime worth 10 cents.
  10. Greenstang
    Not a lamination, please explain what you are referring to. Also a lamination is not an error, it is a defect in the planchet due to improper alloy mixing.

    Welcome to the Chat Board It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the planchet. What you have could not happen at that time so it is PMD ( Post Minting Damage)

    They can give a grade as low as PO1, the lowest grade possible. This is known as a “ lowball”.
  13. Greenstang
    An error can only occur during the actual striking of the coin. There is nothing there that could have happened at that time so it is PMD.

    First, a Doubled Die is not an error, it is a variety, big difference. Hard to say if it is a dryer coin without showing the complete coin. What you have is a bit of Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling.
  15. Greenstang
    If it is a you say an error, please explain to the less informed of us how this could happen during the striking of the coin. If it is a repunched D by chance, it would be a variety, not an error. When you increase the size of a coin by that much, you can see all sorts of worthless anomalies. If you can’t see an error at 10X max., then it is insignificant as it would not be noted at a TPG.

    Please explain what you see as an error, all I see is a worn 1942 nickel. Perhaps you see something I don’t.
  18. Greenstang
    You didn’t finish your question, not sure what you are asking. It just looks like an ordinary quarter worth 25 cents.

    Looking at Abe’s forehead, there appears to be some split plating. Whether this has anything to do with it or not, I’m not sure.
  20. Greenstang
    Please supply clear pictures of both sides. Nearly every error is one of a kind. There are only certain things that can cause an error during the striking of the coin so what you have must be similar to one of these.There are no undiscovered errors.

    Merry Christmas to all and have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
  22. Greenstang
    Just looks like a corroded 1943 zinc plated steel cent to me. Not sure what varieties you are referring to. Also the “ back “ is called the reverse.
  23. Greenstang
    It doesn’t really matter how it happened. If it didn’t happen when the coin was struck, then it is damage. Also please do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated. What we need are clear, closely cropped photos for best results.
  24. Greenstang
    That’s a one look fake, 100%.
  25. Greenstang
    It might be worth a couple of dollars. There were over 392 million minted so they are not rare.
