    Definitely damaged. The rims have taken hits that have flattened them. This could not have happened during the striking of the coin. Worth it’s weight in silver.
  2. Greenstang
    Corrosion, copper turns green when exposed to certain elements. As suggested, try the magnet test to be sure.
  3. Greenstang
    Where did you get those prices from?
  4. Greenstang
    Not a PL, just an uncirculated cent.

    There is no such thing as a 1988 WAM, as stated previously, they are all the same with nothing to compare it to. It was not until the CAM came out in 1993 that they started calling it a WAM to have some way of telling the two varieties. Before then it was just the ordinary spacing with no special designation.

    I can’t see how a coin that had over 1 1/2 BILLION struck can be valuable. Perhaps because it was the first decimalized Colin issued in 1971, people think it is valuable. I do see them listed for ridiculous prices but it is what they sold for that counts, not the asking price. The listed price for a 1971 Uncirculated penny is about a dollar and about 20 cents for a circulated one.

    I see no error on the 1958 D. The mint marks were hand punched into the working die so the location can be anywhere below the date and to the right of the Lincoln’s coat. Yours are normal.

    This is the Registry Forum, I have asked that it be moved to the proper forum. Do you have a question on your Lincoln cent? There was no Wide or Close AM in 1988, they are all the same. It is a nice looking cent though.
  9. Greenstang
    Your right, it is a Small Date 1982D zincoin. Pretty common though as there were millions minted.

    If they are reproductions, which they look like, there is no worth to them.

    You cannot have a DDO on the rim, it has to be on part of the design.

    Welcome to the Chat Box It is just an ordinary nickel that has been discoloured by some sort of environmental toning. Not uncommon and worth 5 cents.

    Welcome to the Chat Board Do not believe everything you see on You Tube concerning coins. What you have is common marks made by a coin wrapping machine. As JPM stated, these will appear on the end coins of a roll. No extra value and worth 25 cents.

    Welcome to the Chat Box. It is not real, that is the wrong reverse for a Trade Dollar. Probably some sort of a Fantasy Dollar
  15. Greenstang
    Please indicate what you see as an error, the 58 obverse looks normal and the reverse is a weak strike which is common on Lincoln cents. In the future, please show the complete coin, not just part of it. I don’t even know if that is the same coin or if it it two different cents.
  16. Greenstang
    There are no D mint marks in that area, they are all further from the stalk and under the leaves.

    Welcome to the NGC chat board. Please follow the instructions for posting a coin for sale posted under “Coin Marketplace Guidlines”. You supply no information whatsoever. Also the missing C appears to be a grease filled die which is not extremely rare.
  18. Greenstang
    I agree, not even good counterfeits, probably not even silver.
  19. Greenstang
    This is the forum for buying and selling coins, I have asked that it be moved. Did you have a question on your 50 cent coin?
  20. Greenstang
    Your app is wrong, it is just a damaged dime worth 10 cents.
  21. Greenstang
    Seems like a lot to do over a die clash. I have seen more pronounced clashes then that one. Looks like another candidate for eBay sellers.
  22. Greenstang
    As per your other coins, not a DD. Please study up on what constitutes a Doubled Die.
  23. Greenstang
    If you weigh all your change, then you should take into account that there are mint tolerances for all business strikes.
  24. Greenstang
    There is a big difference between a true error and damage. There are countless ways a coin can be damaged but there are limited ways that can cause an error. To learn what a true error is, suggest going to a site such as error-ref.com Remember, an error can only occur during the actual striking of the coin, anything that happens after the coin is ejected from the striking chamber is considered damage.
  25. Greenstang
    Agree Just a damaged quarter. Another coin has been pressed into the Obverse, the Reverse is just damage. Might as well spend it
