    Jessica, in the future please put the denomination and the date of the coin in your heading. It makes it too hard to go back to find a post that all have the same heading.

    How about ten of them, all kinds for sale on eBay https://www.ebay.ca/itm/225208098314?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=706-159614-043509-9&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=225208098314&targetid=4585856844771833&device=c

    Also please show both sides of the coin, this can be important.

    welcome to the forum Personally I don't see any extra value in minor die cracks, they are too common.
  5. Greenstang
    That spot would deter me from paying that much. Hereis your photo
  6. Greenstang
    No, it is PMD. In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated and distort the detail.

    Ask yourself, how much do you think that dime is worth. Unless the answer is at least $150.00, then it is not worth grading.

    Looks like a linear plating bubble

    Circulation wear and damage are not errors. An error can only occur during the striking of the coin. You are going to have to do some research into how coins are produced at the mint and study what an actual error is. Coinbuf suggested a good site in error-ref.com and also wexlers is another good site. A true error is not that easy to find in circulation, you may have to search thousands of coins to find one.

    How do we know if they are off centre or not when there is no photo of the reverse, they could just be a MAD.
  11. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum From what you describe, neither would be considered an error but a clear photo would be required before anything can be confirmed.

    Nice find Hinkle, a true Double Struck. Nice seeing a real one instead of all the “vise” coins we see that people think are double struck.
  13. Greenstang
    More pictures don’t help unless you tell us what we are supposed to be looking for.
  14. Greenstang
    True but Late Die Stages are different from a polished die. You could include the 3 Leg Buffalo in that category if you are looking at polished dies.
  15. Greenstang
    The value is about the same for a 1982D large date for copper or zinc so it doesn't really matter which it is unless you want to know for your own purpose.
  16. Greenstang
    Late Die Stages are a die event and add no value to the coin.

    I have several clashed silver dollars but I did not buy them for the clashes, I bought them for the coin itself.
  18. Greenstang
    Not an error, looks like a stain of some sort. Notice how it just shows in the lower areas.
  19. Greenstang
    Please explain where you see an error so we may help you. Also it is best to start a new thread for each coin as it gets confusing with more than one at a time.
  20. Greenstang
    Basically there are only 4 years and 7 varieties to look for so it shouldn’t be too hard to remember.

    From what I understand, during the end of the 1992 run of cents, the Reverse dies wore out so instead of producing new dies, the new CAM reverses from 1993 were used to finish the run. This would explain the rarity of a 1992 CAM. As far as the 1998,1999 & 2000 varieties, I can only guess that a wrong reverse die was used for a run. or two. This might explain the fact they are more common. Perhaps someone else may have a better answer.

    Don’t mind at all Hoghead, this is why I posted it.
  23. Greenstang
    All 2005 P and D mint are CAM. It is the S mint that is a WAM. There are no varieties. I have shown this graph before. Keep it in your file for future reference

    I.cutler nailed it, have seen this numerous times. It has had an “acid bath” which will eat the copper core away before the nickel. Weighing it should show that it is lighter.
  25. Greenstang
    To me the coin looks like it is DDD. I think the fact the mint is using dies long after the “expiry date” has a lot to do with the poor quality of some of the coins.
