    Even with out of focus pictures, you can see how the A in STATES is centred between the two T’s which indicates it is a WAM
  2. Greenstang
    At least it didn’t cost you anything. Feel free to post photos of any other of the coins you have questions about.
  3. Greenstang
    Of course it’s possible. Have seen quite a few of these. All you have to do is remove the angled and cross stroke from a 4 to make it look like a 1. Only problem is that by doing that , the 1 is no longer centered between the 9 and 4. Also the mm is not in a recognized location for a 1914 cent. Hope that you didn’t buy this.
  4. Greenstang
    My opinion is that it is a 1944 modified to look like a 1914 so ungradeable.

    Partial images are hard to grade. We need to see clear complete images with no glare in able to see all the detail. "White Light" can hide aany flaws.

    It is only the 1982 D copper small date cent that is rare. The zinc cent is common.
  7. Greenstang
    It doesn’t really matter the cause of the damage. The fact that this could not have happened during the striking of the coin is all that is needed to know. Damage is damage.
  8. Greenstang
    Just look at the date. That will give you your answer.
  9. Greenstang
    That is a 1982 Small Date copper but that is not a mm which means it was struck in Philadelphia, not Denver.

    Welcome to the forum. As stated, pictures and weight (2 decimal points) are a must before anyone can help you.
  11. Greenstang
    It is called a grate button I believe. I think to be genuine it should have diagonal lines on the edge. Maybe someone can verify this. If genuine, it would be worth sending in for grading.

    It’s been plated with something, sometimes they were plated with mercury or nickel as high school experiments.

    Welcome to the forum Agree with Oldhoopster, not an error, just a die chip and damage. No extra value.
  14. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum. It is neither a split planchet or a cud. It is damage.
  15. Greenstang
    Your last sentence is almost correct ”Or is this just another CENT” That couldn’t happen during the striking of the coin at the mint so it is PMD. Value 1 cent.
  16. Greenstang
    Your new picture shows the copper core so it can’t be silver. If you get a new scale, make sure it is accurate to at least two decimal points.

    Welcome to the Forum The missing P is caused by a partial grease filled die. The mm is either damaged or also partially filled, hard to tell which, neither of which add any value but you can keep it for reference if you like.
  18. Greenstang
    A misaligned die can be off in any direction, top to bottom, left to right, right to left etc.
  19. Greenstang
    I agree Both only worth the value of the metal they were made with. Hope you didn’t buy these.
  20. Greenstang
    No, I haven’t bought from them and they do seem legit. What has that got to do with if the coins are counterfeit or not.
  21. Greenstang
    Coinbuf- To avoid confusion, please correct your spelling of Doubled Die. Thanks
  22. Greenstang
    What is wrong with selling uncirculated coins on an auction site?
  23. Greenstang
    The answer to all your questions is no. It is just a quarter with circulation wear that is worth 25 cents. The scratch you mentioned is caused by a coin wrapping machine. FYI- The correct terminology is Doubled Die.
  24. Greenstang
    Not a cud, the same thing is showing behind Liberty. Not sure if acetone would remove it or if you could carefully pick it out.
  25. Greenstang
    A full picture of the reverse would help but from what I can tell it is just damage., a lamination would not cause the gouges you can see.
