    You are correct on both counts, a copper 1982D small date is valuable but there are probably only about 6 or so in existence so don’t waste your time looking for one. Also a 1983 copper cent has value as it supposed to be made of copper coated zinc but here again are rare.

    Also agree, it is not even close to being genuine.

    Welcome to the Forum I don’t se a DDO but I do see a linear plating bubble. What are you considering DDO?
  4. Greenstang
    With the marks being on the rim, field and devices, I would say it is some sort of PMD. Even uncirculated coins can get damaged along there journey from being struck to being rolled.
  5. Greenstang
    If it was struck again, it would show on the whole coin, not just the mint mark. It is just some sort of stain or mark, nothing significant.

    Definitly MD. See how the main devices are smaller, if it was a DD, they would be larger.

    Agree with Just Bob It has been attacked by acid and copper being softer than nickel, the copper core eats away faster. Have seen quite a few of these.

    The backside is called the Reverse for correct terminology. If the coin is warped, then that is just more damage. That cent has had a rough life in it’s short existence.
  9. Greenstang
    There is no premium for any damage, only true errors or varieties have any extra value.
  10. Greenstang
    Just another die chip.

    Not worth keeping. They are all suffering from environmental toning and damage.

    Welcome to the Forum I agree, not an error, just a well placed plating bubble, common on zincoins.
  13. Greenstang
    It may be from an improperly mixed gold alloy. Gold has a small percentage of copper in it and sometimes it shows through the gold if not properly mixed.

    Welcome to the Forum. Sorry to burst your bubble but that is not a DOUBLED DIE (Note proper terminology). That is what is known as worthless Machine Doubling.

    They certainly have not been missed in Canada, you simply adjust up or down for cash. Credit Cards and other electronic transactions still use the cent as it doesn’t matter then. And you are correct, there has been no major increase in the value of them. Common cents do not have much value and the rarer cents are still worth about the same. When is the US going to catch up with the times and ditch the “penny”.

    Is the mark raised or incuse? You don’t provide much info, a mark can be caused by anything. As most errors are one of a kind, we really need a photo or else we are just guessing.

    Welcome to the Forum There is a big difference between damage and wear to a coin and an actual error. Suggest you study a bit to tell the difference. This way you can save time by knowing what to look for. error-ref.com is a good site to see what actual errors are. Variety Vista is a good site to study up on varieties.

    Welcome to the Forum It has been in a fire which caused the bubbling. Just a damaged dime now.
  19. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum. You won’t find anything on this as it is not an error, it is PMD ( damage)
  20. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chat Box As stated, clear cropped photos are required. Sounds like it could be split plating or zinc rot, but without pictures, that is just a guess.
  21. Greenstang
    Agree with others, just a damaged D mint mark.
  22. Greenstang
    Duplicate post
  23. Greenstang
    Missing copper and larger diameter= Texas Cent It is considered damage and has no Numismatic value but keep as a novelty if you like.
  24. Greenstang
    Same answer as your post on the same coin. It is damage with no value, not an error.
  25. Greenstang
    You can tell at a glance that is a Large Date. Easiest way to tell is just look at the distance between the 2 and the rim, if you can fit another number in the distance, it is a Small Date, if it is close to the rim, it is a Large Date.
