  1. Nice find but certainly not worth the cost of grading. Even in MS66 R condition they are worth about $12-13.00 and yours is not near that. Put in a 2x2 and keep as a nice example
  2. One of the problems is that many sellers are uninformed in the world of Numistatics and see something online and believe they have that rare coin. That is why there are dozens of listings like this on eBay everyday from first time sellers. Although you will find some informed scammers. trying to take advantage of the uniformed buyers. I have seen several cases on the various coin forums where someone has bought a damaged coin and thought they had bought a rare error. eBay policy states that you can ask up to $2500.00 for an uncertified coin as long as it is not misrepresented.
  3. If I was to look at that coin without the label showing, I would say it was MD. There is no sign of a serif on any of the doubled letters and then devices look reduced.
  4. What makes you think they are rare? The US quarter you can find in pocket change, the Arabian coins are common.
  5. Good advice from VKurt, it you can't see it at 5X, it is irellevent anyway as it would not be recognized by a TPG.
  6. If it was a Deep Cameo, it would have been marked on the slab. You do not pay extra for a Cameo grade, it is part of the grading.
  7. Correct, as I stated on your other post on the same coin, it is a fantasy dollar with no numismatic value.
  8. The only way to tell is if it is in the original packaging. Once it has been removed, it becomes a normal 2000 cent
  9. This is the forum for buying/selling coins. This a fantasy coin. If it is for sale, please follow the instruction's in the Coin Marketplace Guidlines. You have provided no information at all on what question you are asking.
  10. Just damage. There is nothing during the striking of the coin that would cause that Also in the future, please put the date of the coin in yout heading so they won't look the samme.
  11. Welcome to the Chat Board. Just a badly damaged quarter. It is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin, anything that happens after that such as your coin is considered damage, no matter how it happened.
  12. Welcome to the Chat Board. That is not a Doubled Die, looks more like Die Deterioration Doubling, another of the worthless doubling. It also looks like that may be a small Die Crack but not enough to add any value. In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small details.
  13. Your correct, no MM means it was minted in Philadelphia. What you have is not a DD, it is called Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD) which is caused by the wear on the striking die. This is common and adds no value to the coin. Keep as an example or spend it.
  14. It is a common 1982D small date zincoin worth 1 cent. No nerd to certify.
  15. Looks like a slight stain, it’s not indented. It might come off with acetone, depending on what caused it.
  16. All you have to do is look at the bottom ribbon on the reverse, it is a different style.
  17. Welcome to the forum This is the forum for registered sets. You should post this under the “Coin Marketplace” forum and follow the instructions for posting. You supply none of the information that is required for selling on this site.
  18. I agree that the random 2 is most definitley far- fetched. It seems to me that you are not going to believe what members with many years of experience are going to tell you so I suggest you send it off to a TPG for verification. List it under a Variety because there is no way it can be an error.
  19. I’m a Rising Star but don’t know how they came to that conclusion. Maybe they just drew names out of a hat. I’m pretty sure that the Seasoned Veteran name comes about when you hit a 1000 posts.
  20. The only possible way for a 2 to be next to the mm is if it was punched into the striking die. If this was the case, then it would be on anywhere up to a million cents and I’m sure it would have been discovered by now. Also it would be a variety, not an error, big difference. What you have is just surface damage.
