    Welcome to the Chat Board First, that is a Large Date 1982. Also those marks are not doubling, they look like they have taken a hit displacing the metal which would make it damage.

    I voted Environmental Damage

    Also “dye” should be “Die”

    Looking on eBay for 1879 Morgan’s in similar condition, they are going for $30-40.00. There were nearly 15 million struck so quit common unless in higher grades.

    Then go ahead and get it certified and let us know the results. Sandon has supplied you with instructions and cost to get it graded.

    I was going to admonish you for holding the coin in your hand but seeing it is a counterfeit, lit doesn’t really matter now. Date is wrong, Mint Mark too big and in wrong location.

    Welcome to the forum Where do you see doubling? All I see are regular business strikes with no sign of doubling anywhere.
  9. Greenstang
    Unusual to find even in Canada silver in change. The 1966 quarter would be 80% silver
  10. Greenstang
    The last two photos are clearly worthless Machine Doubling. Spend it.
  11. Greenstang
    1 dollar US and there is no doubled die.
  12. Greenstang
    Don’t forget there is a mint tolerance of .19g so yours is still within tolerance.
  13. Greenstang
    Minor but a clip is a clip.
  14. Greenstang
    I think “erosion around the mintmark” would be correct.
  15. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Those are known as counterstamps, they have been added for some reason after the coin has left the mint. Normally random counterstamps do not add any value to the coin as they could have been added anytime and anyone can do the same thing

    Welcome to the forum This is the section for registered sets. Please use the Newbie Forum for further posts. Before anyone can help, we will require a clear photo of both sides of each coin you have a question about. To avoid confusion, only one coin per post please. Also a clear explanation of what you want to know about each coin. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

    A die clash would be raised and I don’t really see that on your coin. There might be a bit ghosting though.
  18. Greenstang
    From photo supplied I am not seeing the extra V. Can you take a clear closeup of that area.
  19. Greenstang
    Nay. To remove the loop would probably damage the coin and it is not that rare that you couldn’t find an undamaged one somewhere.
  20. Greenstang
    Another of my PO1 lowballs. CanadIan 1936 Silver dollar
  21. Greenstang
    Your just a wealth of numismatic information.
  22. Greenstang
    To me pictures are not clear even to authentic either way. We have to be able to see all the detail such as in the photo that EagleRJO supplied.
  23. Greenstang
    Not a split planchet or any other error. You don’t show the whole coin but it is too worn to see any of the markers indicating a 1888/7.
  24. Greenstang
    A lamination is generally (to cover myself, I say generally because there have been rare cases of lamination on clad coins) restricted to solid alloy coins as it is caused by the presence of contaminants or impurities in the alloy which separate when the planchet is made. They can be small or run the full length of the coin.
  25. Greenstang
    Nice, a retained laminate that has been partiially peeled back.
