    Hard to tell from photo supplied but I will say Large Date.
  2. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum It looks to me like it might be a stain and has some glue or other substance on it. Soak it in pure acetone for 24 hrs and see if it comes off. In the future, pleas3 crop your photos. This will help to enlarge them.
  3. Greenstang
    Correct, never clean coins. The exception is you can soak them in pure acetone for about 24 hrs to remove some contaminates. Never use a brush or cloth to clean. Show us some photos ( both sides and cropped ) of some of your coins.
  4. Greenstang
    In that condition, the value would be in its 35% silver content.
  5. Greenstang
    Do not buy that dime, it is a counterfeit.

    It is also against eBay policy to sell a numerical graded coin whether marked on a 2x2 or the description unless it is from one of the eBay recognized graders. You can describe it as something like Good or Fine as long there is no number associated with it.
  7. Greenstang
    Not a variety in any way, just a well worn cent worth 1 cent.

    Welcome to the Chat box What makes you think it is a Small Date, there are only a couple in existence. If it is a Large Date which it probably is, the value is 1 cent.
  9. Greenstang
    It would cost around $60.00 to have it graded when it has a value of a couple of cents. Also there are no “Full Steps” on memorial cents, that term only applies to Jefferson nickels.
  10. Greenstang
    Not double struck or any other type of error. As I stated, just an ordinary dime. Also take your keyboard off of caps only.
  11. Greenstang
    Not a proof, just a regular 1975 dime. Please do not use all caps, that is considered shouting.
  12. Greenstang
    Just looks like an ordinary 2022 CENT to me. If that is the right colour, then it caused by environmental toning. Exactly what do you think is wrong with it?
  13. Greenstang
    Not unusual, probably either a partial grease filled die or the die has been overpolished.

    This is the forum for buying and selling coins, have requested that it be moved to the proper forum. As far as your quarter goes, it looks like a regular 1999P quarter that had over 451 million produced. What is it that makes you think it is different? Please elaborate when asking a question. Value 25 cents
  15. Greenstang
    It is definitely a “D” mint mark
  16. Greenstang
    All I see is damage, what makes you think it is an error?
  17. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Doesn’t look like it to me. Also that is a weak strike, not a Struck Through Grease.
  18. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chat Board There are no errors that I can see on the Lincoln cents you are showing. If you are going to start looking for errors on coins, you should really learn what an error Is. An error can only occur during the striking of the planchet so anything that happens after that such as dings, scratches, discolouration etc. is damage. A good site to study on errors is error-ref.com.

    I’ll bet you a dollar that the cause of this is that it has had an acid bath. Usually with acid the rims are the first to go plus the letters are thinner and some of the detail on the eagle is missing. No harm though in showing to your contact, for educational purposes, please let us know what he has to say.
  20. Greenstang
    Just go by the distance from the rim to the two. Small space = Large Date.
  21. Greenstang
    It would cost more to have them graded then what they are worth. If you are planning on selling them, then for maximum profit sell them raw.
  22. Greenstang
    Not an error. You can’t have a coin with the rim only on one side so it has to be damage.
  23. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chat Board Agree with Mr. Bill on what he has stated. If you were to show a closeup of the area you think was Doubled, someone here will be able to verify it one way or the other but my feeling is that it is NOT a DD. It would be very unusual to have only one letter doubled. Don’t forget also that a TPG usually only uses a 5X when checking for errors and if it is not listed in Variety Plus, then it is not recorded as such. I think scopes do more harm than good as they bring out all the minor anomolies that are on a coin that many newer collectors think are errors. Personally if I can’t see an error without magnification, then it is too minor to have much value. It is only major errors that you can see without magnification that have much value.
  24. Greenstang
    First, they are not gold, they are a copper alloy. Also, you do realize that it costs $55-60 minimum all in to have a coin graded when what you have are worth 1 dollar each.

    I voted #3. I eliminated #2 right away and the texture doesn’t look like it is #1.
