    Nice find in change. Suggestion, if you crop your photos, it will increase the size and make them easier to see.

    Hard to say for sure from the photo but it sounds like a scratch. The incuse part would be the scratch an d the raised part would be the displaced metal unlike a die gouge that would only be raised.

    That doubling you see is a worthless type of doubling called Machine Doubling (MD). It is fairly common on most coins and adds no value.

    I have also had this problem that has been ongoing for a while now. It can be frustrating at times when you want open the site and see that you are logged out.

    That to me looks like you have a plated cent. I don’t see the steel core sandwiched between the layers of zinc.
  8. Greenstang
    As In stated earlier, the easiest way to tell if it has been plated or not is to just look at the edge. There is no guessing this way.

    Your 1987 CENT is just toning from some sort of of environmental exposure, it is only worth 1 cent either way. On your 1943 steel cent, just look at the edge. If you see the steel core, it is original. If it is shiny like the rest of the coin, then it has been plated. In the future, please crop your photos. This will help enlarge them.

    It looks like you may have broken about even, depending on the value of the half and full sovereign as they are worn. Probably worth $12-1300.00. The Canadian gold 50 cent is worth about $130.00. The James Madison medal could be worth at least $400.00, maybe more, depending on the grade. At least you didn’t lose this time.

    Actually you paid $1800.00 for those coins, you had already given him $350.00 earlier. Post a clear photo of both sides of each coin and we will tell you how you did good or bad this time.

    I see Die Deterioration on the reverse, wear and possible damage that has flattened the letters on the obverse. No sign of DDO and very slight MAD
  13. Greenstang
    I would say that all three are MD.

    Hinkle Are you sure that it is not something on the coin? It looks like the Memorial and type are filled in more than worn. Hard to tsay for sure with a two dimensional picture

    A Chinese counterfeit die that has been defaced then minted. Wonder how many more are out there.

    Floating roof?

    You can still see the outlines of the letters, I’m going with a partial grease filled die not that it matters as there is no extra value either way.
  19. Greenstang
    PMD, Impossible for that to happen during the minting. It has been damaged after it was struck. Exactly how it happened doesn’t really matter as damage is damage.
  20. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chatbox It looks like it could be a small die chip. Common and not considered an error.

    Take the money and don’t let him talk you into an exchange. He knew what he was doing so don’t have anything else to do with him.

    Moneyy Please do your homework before buying coins. This is not the first time you have been taken. The fact that gold coins are minted in Ottawa and business strike dimes are minted in Winnipeg is enough to tell that it is not genuine.

    All 1921 Peace Dollars are High Relief, I don't know why NGC puts it on their labels. Low Relief wasn't introduced until 1922. As far as a grade goes, I would say low AU. Don't forget that a seller can put whatever price he wants for a coin. It is up to the buyer to determine what it is actually worth to them.
