    Welcome to the Chat Board. On the left coin, not sure what you are considering an error, all I see is circulation damage. Please be specific and explain what type of error you are seeing. The right coin might be a Struck Through Grease or other substance, not really enough to add any value. It would cost you around $100.00 to get both graded and they are worth 1 dollar each.

    Not a coin. With the blank reverse, it may have been made to have something engraved on it. Specifying the size might help.

    1951 Commemorative 5 cent coin depicting a nickel refinery Canada's first commemorative 5 cent and the last business strike struck in 100% nickel

    Just for the heck of it, I looked up 1982S Proof strikes for sale on eBay and every one of them were Large Dates.
  5. Greenstang
    The date by itself tells you it is a zinc coin Never heard a coin called "a great work" before, original owner must have really liked it.
  6. Greenstang
    It looks like crud between the letters that didn't come off when it was cleaned. Just a damagged cent now.
  7. Greenstang
    All I can add is that it looks uncirculated. Impossible to grade from those photos.
  8. Greenstang
    Is there a question here somewhere?
  9. Greenstang
    Please don’t supply screen shots, they are too pixilated to see the detail on a coin.
  10. Greenstang
    Get rid of it while you can. Pretty soon that exposed zinc will start to rot away.

    Welcome to the Chat Board. We probably would be able to advise you if you would show a clear photo of both sides of the coin. Without one we wouldn’t have a clue. Also the year and denomination should be in your heading.
  12. Greenstang
    Nice find. It is a business strike but would make a good album filler.
  13. Greenstang
    Hard to tell without a weight but there are many counterfeits made from both silver and gold. so you can’t always tell by the material about whether it is legitimate or not.
  14. Greenstang
    I don’t see anything that couldn’t be PMD and wear. There might be a couple of die chips but hard to tell with reflection. Certainly not anything spending money to have looked at.
  15. Greenstang
    The second piece is definitly a counterfeit so the only genuine coin is the 1943 cent. If geniune, some of thoose pattern coin could be worth as uch as $40,000

    Welcome to the forum This forum is for buying and selling coins. You should really have posted this in the Newbie Forum for better response. To answer your question, the coins you have are only worth face value. Total $1.25 Why did you think they were worth more?
  17. Greenstang
    Always show both sides of the coin when making inquires. From what I can tell, your 1974 CENT looks like a dryer coin which is damage but a photo of the obverse would confirm this. **Was able to open the hidden contents and can now see the Obverse. The smaller diameter and thicker rims indicate that it is a dryer coin. No premium for this.

    Erin33 or Peralta33 on the PCGS forum Why are you asking on another forum if the coin is real? Nobody on this site has said that it is not genuine, even if it is plated, it is still a genuine 1943 cent.
  19. Greenstang
    It has been struck by something. PMD In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.
  20. Greenstang
    You will find these on the end coin of most rolls. Many of these out there in all denominations and considered damage, not an error. Value 25 cents.
  21. Greenstang
    It all depends on what you want to collect, it is up to the individual. There are people who collect error coins and have accumulated quite a nice collection. Others such as myself ( although I do have a couple) would not pay a premium for an error coin. There are some purists who consider errors as damage.
  22. Greenstang
    Yours can’t be a FS501 D/D, the position of the mm is in the wrong place.
  23. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chat Board Certainly not a red CENT, just a regular circulated 1978 cent that is worth 1cent. There were over 5 1/2 Billion minted at the Philadelphia mint alone so not rare.
  24. Greenstang
    Agree It has been soaked in acid. Usually the rims are first to go. Not unusual, they sometimes did this as a High School experiment.
  25. Greenstang
    More damage, probably caused by a coin wrapping machine. Also please start a new thread for each coin. It causes confusion with more than one coin on a thread
