    “Bad grading” You may know what you are talking about but we sure as h—l don’t. Please be specific in your question.
  2. Greenstang
    A photo would help but it could just be some sort of an inventory sticker from the seller. I have had them on a couple of purchases from one of the coin dealers I use.

    As mentioned, just wear and damage, nothing unusual. If you are going to be looking for errors, suggest you read up on what an actual error is. A good site for this is error-ref.com

    That is the problem riight there. Looking at thee spacing between the A & M is the worst way to tell the difference. Dies and coins get worn which can affect the appearance of the spacing, different years might have slightly different spacing . The best way, in my opinion, is to look at the FG initials beside the memorial. If they are close, as yours are, it is a WAM. If they are further away, it is a CAM. This way there is "no guessing".

    Welcome to the Chat Board What you have are all WAM
  6. Greenstang
    Looks like it could have been struck from a thin planchet.
  7. Greenstang
    Also known as a campfire coin.
  8. Greenstang
    Hard to tell from photos but they could also be Occulated Gas Bubbles.
  9. Greenstang
    With the mint tolerance of .12g the OP’s cent is only .01g light which could be attributed to wear
  10. Greenstang
    Same as your other posting, both look like they have taken hits, the first one. displacing some metal. If they do not match the variety listings exactly, then. the chances of them being a DDO are pretty small.
  11. Greenstang
    To be a recognized DDO, it has to be exact including any markers associated with the variety. It looks like what you have is just minor damage from a hit.
  12. Greenstang
    I say it is just a 1957 Nickel. What you think,is a D is just a mark on the field.
  13. Greenstang
    What Fenntucky Mike plus the fact that if it was missing the clad layer, it would show signs of being weakly struck.
  14. Greenstang
    I think the words you are looking for is Die Deterioration.
  15. Greenstang
    A two headed nickel with solder on it. Looks like two nickels that have been joined together, nice novelty coin.
  16. Greenstang
    That is Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling that occurs on over 60% of the Statehood quarters.
  17. Greenstang
    If it is a wrong planchet, then what planchet would it be struck on that is the same weight and size as a regular quarter? To me it is just an environmentally damaged quarter. Try rubbing the surface, sometimes you can rub the discolouration off.

    Welcome to the Chat Board This Forum is for registered sets, have requested that it be moved to the Newbie forum Your dollar is not an error, it has been damaged, looks like reed marks from another coin. Also how do you know it is not silver, that is an uncirculated silver clad set.
  19. Greenstang
    Not a lamination error. To avoid confusion, Please do not post more than one coin on the same thread.
  20. Greenstang
    Not a cud, just a severely damaged dime worth 10 cents.
  21. Greenstang
    Not a lamination, please explain what you are referring to. Also a lamination is not an error, it is a defect in the planchet due to improper alloy mixing.
  22. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chat Board It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the planchet. What you have could not happen at that time so it is PMD ( Post Minting Damage)
  23. Greenstang
    They can give a grade as low as PO1, the lowest grade possible. This is known as a “ lowball”.
  24. Greenstang
    An error can only occur during the actual striking of the coin. There is nothing there that could have happened at that time so it is PMD.
  25. Greenstang
    First, a Doubled Die is not an error, it is a variety, big difference. Hard to say if it is a dryer coin without showing the complete coin. What you have is a bit of Machine Doubling, a worthless type of doubling.
