  1. What makes you think they are rare? The US quarter you can find in pocket change, the Arabian coins are common.
  2. Good advice from VKurt, it you can't see it at 5X, it is irellevent anyway as it would not be recognized by a TPG.
  3. If it was a Deep Cameo, it would have been marked on the slab. You do not pay extra for a Cameo grade, it is part of the grading.
  4. Correct, as I stated on your other post on the same coin, it is a fantasy dollar with no numismatic value.
  5. The only way to tell is if it is in the original packaging. Once it has been removed, it becomes a normal 2000 cent
  6. This is the forum for buying/selling coins. This a fantasy coin. If it is for sale, please follow the instruction's in the Coin Marketplace Guidlines. You have provided no information at all on what question you are asking.
  7. Just damage. There is nothing during the striking of the coin that would cause that Also in the future, please put the date of the coin in yout heading so they won't look the samme.
  8. Welcome to the Chat Board. Just a badly damaged quarter. It is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin, anything that happens after that such as your coin is considered damage, no matter how it happened.
  9. Welcome to the Chat Board. That is not a Doubled Die, looks more like Die Deterioration Doubling, another of the worthless doubling. It also looks like that may be a small Die Crack but not enough to add any value. In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small details.
  10. Your correct, no MM means it was minted in Philadelphia. What you have is not a DD, it is called Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD) which is caused by the wear on the striking die. This is common and adds no value to the coin. Keep as an example or spend it.
  11. It is a common 1982D small date zincoin worth 1 cent. No nerd to certify.
  12. Looks like a slight stain, it’s not indented. It might come off with acetone, depending on what caused it.
  13. All you have to do is look at the bottom ribbon on the reverse, it is a different style.
  14. Welcome to the forum This is the forum for registered sets. You should post this under the “Coin Marketplace” forum and follow the instructions for posting. You supply none of the information that is required for selling on this site.
  15. I agree that the random 2 is most definitley far- fetched. It seems to me that you are not going to believe what members with many years of experience are going to tell you so I suggest you send it off to a TPG for verification. List it under a Variety because there is no way it can be an error.
  16. I’m a Rising Star but don’t know how they came to that conclusion. Maybe they just drew names out of a hat. I’m pretty sure that the Seasoned Veteran name comes about when you hit a 1000 posts.
  17. The only possible way for a 2 to be next to the mm is if it was punched into the striking die. If this was the case, then it would be on anywhere up to a million cents and I’m sure it would have been discovered by now. Also it would be a variety, not an error, big difference. What you have is just surface damage.
  18. Back to the drawing board. Nothing there that indicates any DDO
  19. Not to worry, I made the same assumption when I first started collecting lowballs but was told by one of the top error and variety collectors here in Canada who has written many articles and who also contributed to Charlton’s catalogue that the date is only necessary if there are different years of the same design. If it is a one year design and you can make out the design, then that is enough, the date is not necessary as you know the date. Quoting this off of the PCGS website “the ideal low ball coin is one that has been worn to the point that the design is worn nearly flat but is still identifiable to type and date.”
  20. I will accept your humble apology then Henri but no need to see your way out, I still enjoy your posts. This coin has been certified by ICCS, Canada’s leading grader. You are right in the fact that the date should be showing but only if you cannot tell the date of the coin by some other marker. The 1967 series of coins were a one off style. The dollar had the flying goose on the reverse and you can vaguely see the outline of the back of the goose on the reverse. The other certified PO1 that I mentioned is also the same, no date but you can make out the goose. The 1936 lowball that I posted is the same situation, no date but you can tell it is a 1936 by the crown, in 1935 the crown did not go to the rim.
  21. Looks like it may be a partial grease filled die with lots of wear
