    Would really need to have the size. It looks like a blank of some sort.
  2. Greenstang
    Looks like it might be a small delamination. Also a Struck Through is not a variety, it is an error.
  3. Greenstang
    Not an error of any kind.An error can only occur during the striking of the coin and that could not have happened at that time. That looks like there is some sort of glue like substance on the surface. Try soaking it in pure acetone for about 24 hours and see if it disappears.

    The filled D is what is known as a broken post, quite common on D and P mintmarks. The circle on the reverse is as Sandon stated, probably caused by a coin wrapping. or other type of machine. It did not happen during the striking of the coin. It is just a damaged quarter worth 25 cents.

    What is really light? Give us a weight to two decimal points. Looks like a zinc cent that is missing the copper.
  7. Greenstang
    Common machine doubling. Also do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see detail clearly.
  8. Greenstang
    If someone offered you 25 cents, take it. They are common in circulated condition.

    Welcome to the forum What you have are 3 Large Date cents worth 1 cent each. It is the 1982D copper Small Date that is the valuable one but you have a better chance at winning the power ball lottery than finding one? There are only a couple known to exist.

    PMD on both sides.

    Welcome to the forum If you would supply a clear photo of both sides of the coin in question along with the weight. and diameter, there may be someone on this forum that could determine why it is counterfeit.

    Why are you showing a 1946 cent and asking about a 1918 half dollar? To answer your question, it would be around 7:30 on the Reverse.

    Early gold coins are among the most counterfeited of US coins. Going back to about 1853, gold coins hold 43 out of 50 top positions of the most counterfeited coins.

    I usually just go by the distance between the 2 and the border. If you can fit another letter between the space it is a Small Date. If it is closer to the border it is a Large Date. This way if the numbers are worn or damaged, you can still tell the difference.

    Just guessing here but it could possibly be an assayers mark verifying that it is gold. much like the trade dollars that were counterstamped proving them to be genuine.

    Just noticed this now that you have had no reply. According to PCGS, there were 5 minted and 4 graded by them.

    I am repeating myself here but as I have stated previously, do NOT go by the distance in the AM, there are two many variables. Either go by the distance of the initials from the memorial as Coinbuf. has indicated or by the TAT in states. If the A is centered ( A T A), then it is a WAM. If the A is off to the right (T AT) then it is a CAM. This way there should be no confusion about the distance between the A and M.

    Welcome to the forum That is clearly a counterfeit, just compare with a photo of a genuine coin. How much is the seller asking? That is about a $300.00 coin if genuine.
  21. Greenstang
    They were all like that in 1978 . When comparing coins, make sure you compare with the same year as ther can be small variations from year to year.

    FS stands for Full Steps. I see no sign of a Doubled Die, maybe a bit of Machine Doubling and/or Die Deterioration.
  23. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Even if it was a “over mint mark” which it can’t be, it would be a variety, not an error, big difference.
  24. Greenstang
    That is what is known as a Texas Cent, the larger size verifies that. By placing it between two pieces of leather and pounding it which expands the zinc core, the copper plating breaks off leaving the zinc exposed. No extra value as it is considered damage but keep as a novelty if you like. An example of another Texas Cent.

    I have to agree with PMD. Does not look like a Struck Through.
