    Sorry but not a D over S variety.
  2. Greenstang
    That is Machine Doubling. Terminology correction: The correct term is Doubled Die

    This is the Registry Forum, have asked that it be moved to proper forum. As far as your coin goes, it is probably a counterfeit. They did not start issuing that style of Piastre until 1885. The weight should be 27.215 g and the diameter is 39 mm if you want to check yours.

    Looks more like environmental damage to me so I would say no.
  5. Greenstang
    That is damage known as a "Vice Job". Value 1 cent. Keep it as a novelty coin.
  6. Greenstang
    “Question” What is the question? Please be specific with your posts.
  7. Greenstang
    As stated above, that is a CAM. All 93’s are a CAM. It is the 92 CAM that is hard to find.
  8. Greenstang
    Not really although someone might give you a small premium if they collect these. Minor greasers are just too common to be worth much over face value.
  9. Greenstang
    Damage is not an error. What you have is a damaged coin. In the future, please start your own thread when posting. More than 1 coin at a time just causes confusion.

    This is the buy/sell forum. If you are selling this coin, please follow the guidelines near the top of this forum.

    Welcome to the forum. Not even a good counterfeit, definitely a fake.
  12. Greenstang
    NGC should limit the characters to a title like some of the other coin forums do.

    Welcome to the forum That is Die Deterioration Doubling caused by a worn die. Value 1 cent.
  14. Greenstang
    I agree with Coinbuf Both have small Die Chips which are fairly common.
  15. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Your CENT has a slight misaligned die that is within mint tolerances, no extra value. Also when taking photos, lay on a flat neutral coloured surface, do not hold in your hands
  16. Greenstang
    Probably caused by zinc dust trapped under the copper plating.

    It is also illegal to sell counterfeit coins unless they are stamped “COPY”. I know that eBay will remove the listing if it is reported.
  18. Greenstang
    If the fingerprint is fresh, an acetone soaking would probably remove it. If it has been on there for awhile,there is nothing that can be done.

    Lisa. If you are going to weigh coins, you have to have a scale to at least two decimal points. There is too much variation when it only reads to one point. Also taking into account the +- variation, your coin is slightly overweight but not really enough I don’t think that would bring much of a premium.

    Lisa, sorry about how this turned out for you. One lesson learned I hope is that when buying any high value coin, it should always be graded for authenticity. There are some pretty good counterfeits out there than can fool even experienced collectors. If you want to post photos of some of the coins you want to sell, I’m sure there are people here that can help you in evaluating and let you know what you could possibly sell them for.
  21. Greenstang
    I agree with not worth the cost of grading. I can see no sign of a DD and the condition is not near good enough. Basically what you would be doing is spending a bout $50.00 grading fees on a coin that is worth 1 cent.

    Welcome to the forum It is not flawed, it has been intentionally routed out by someone possibly to be used in jewellry. There is a member of another forum who custom makes these coins to be used in bracelets.
  23. Greenstang
    Thanks for the article Greg. At least you know you have a one of a kind error. Good find.
  24. Greenstang
    Looking closer at the coin, it has a lot of Die Deterioration on the Obverse. Just wondering if it could be some form of flow marks.
  25. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Is it silver or clad? How much area is struck through? Please supply a photo.
