Welcome to the Forum Please show a photo of the Obverse as well. ( Always show photos of both sides when making inquires) Also explain what you are considering an error.

Hinkle Those are both CAM’s. The only WAM in 1994 was the S mint.

Looks to me like some sort of environmental toning, quite common.

ArtLifs, inn the future please start a new posting for each coin. It causes confusion when there’s is more than one coin per thread. As far as your nickels go, in that condition the only one that would have a small premium is the 1936 Buffalo. The rest are pretty much faced value.

Welcome to the CCF Minor anomalies such as dings, scratches, gouges, die chips, discolouration etc. are not considered errors but damage. The mint is not in the business of striking perfect business strike coins, production at high speed is priority so every coin is not going to be perfect. An error is usually a one off occurrence when there is a malfunction during the striking process. What you have on your quarter is just circulation damage.

If it is 90% silver, then there is still the scrap bullion value to it, so it is not a total loss

Welcome to the Forum Before anyone can help you, we will require a clear photo of BOTH sides. Looking forward to see what you have.

Not doubling, looks like a minor crack.

Welcome to the Forum Yes that is a Doubled Die, nice find.

Not sure what this has to do with a counterfeit but I see a coin that has been damaged around the perimeter. Not sure if it was intentional or not but it shouldn’t matter, damage is damage.

That is because the cause is DDD, not MD. They are two different types of doubling. DDD is caused by the metal flow on a worn die, not the bounce that you get on MD that causes the step. MD can occur on a new die whereas DDD cannot.

It looks like an early stage Dryer Coin. Place it on top of a regular cent and see if the diameter is slightly smaller. PS Why do you have so much wasted space between your copy and photos?

If you are selling, then this post should be in the Coin Marketplace Forum. Please follow the listing instructions at the top of the page.

Not a variety or an error. That is Die Deterioration Doubling caused by a worn die, notice how it flows towards the rim. The mm can't be repunched as it was part of the original die and not hand punched.

The blob could be either a die chip or a plating bubble. Would need a photo to confirm. In either case, there is no added value.

Just check the edges, that will tell you they have been plated.

Welcome to the Forum Clear photos of both sides will be required before any one can help you. Also provide the diameter and weight to two decimal points.

Your right JKK, typo on my part, I should have proof read it. I will change it to avoid confusion. Thanks for catching it.

Welcome to the forum You really need a scale accurate to two decimal points if you are going to weigh coins. Anything else is not much help. Also the weight of a clad quarter is 5.67g with a +- of .19g so a weight between 5.48 and 5.86 is acceptable.

Kyle, weight to one decimal point is not accurate enough, it has to be to at least two. That could be 2.87 and still read 2.9. A copper coin should be about 3.11g. I have put together a couple of pictures to illustrate why I think it is counterfeit. The first thing I usually look at is the nape of the neck, compare yours to the genuine coin. Also the 3 in the date is slightly lower. There are also slight differences in the eyes and mouth although hard to see. If you still believe yours is genuine, the only alternative is to send it to a TPG for verfication.

You might get a better response by moving it to the Newbie coin forum. This forum is for NGC registered sets Topic moved to Ancient coin forum

Can you supply the weight to two decimal points. That would be a good starting point. Doing further research in my files, I am fairly (but not 100%) sure bit is counterfeit.

And did Ana mention that there are only 3 known prototypes in existence and they have all been certified by PCGS. The last one for sale sold for $264,000.00.

Yes, a coin can have both a DD and MD. A DD is on the die itself so every coin struck will show the same DD. MD is caused by looseness in the collar so it is a completely different thing. Also remember that not all DD are recognized by the graders.

If you are looking to sell. You could post it on the Coin Marketplace Forum on this site. Just be sure to read the posting instructions at the top of the page first.
