    Please be a little more specific about what marks you are referring to so that we know where to look.

    I agree, That is Die Derioration. Also a DDO is a variety, not an error.

    It may be a slightly thinner planchet by looking at the weak strike. The minimum tolerance is 2.99 so it is a bit underweight. Almost forgot, welcome to the forum.

    Welcome to the forum. When posting please crop your photos and show both sides of the coin. From what I can see from the rather blurry photo, it looks like some sort of damage. Whatever it is, it isn’t an error.

    IMO $2300.00 is too much and it is not a Choice BU. You can do better. Right now on eBay, APMEX have a 1909S VDB in better shape for $2133.00

    Just Bob gave good advice but also read the Coin Marketplace Guidelines for posting instructions.

    That is not an outline of his face, it is damage. What your describing is impossible to happen during the striking of a coin.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry but that is not a lamination, that is zinc rot. Value one cent.

    Pictures please and what is your question? “Good condition “ doesn’t tell us much.

    The top half looks normal, not sure about the rest.

    Welcome to the Forum 1748 Russian Empire Denga

    Not really shattered unless the cracks are extending to the rim. The best it would be are interior die cracks although they do look more like scratches.

    A 1967 Canadian silver dollar graded PO1 by PCGS. It is one of two that I know of

    Welcome to the forum. Please show the complete coin when asking questions as there are sometimes answers in other parts or the coin. In this case it looks like that may be DDD (Die Deterioration Doubling) but a complete photo would verify at.

    Not unless you want to spend $50-60 on a coin worth one cent

    Welcome to the Forum. That could not happen during the striking of the coin so it is damage, not an error. Please crop your photos in the future, there is more background showing than coin. This would also increase the size of the coin.
  17. Greenstang
    You called it when you said “damaged areas”. A spender now.
  18. Greenstang
    And more spammers

    Please crop and rotate your photos properly so we may help you better. Some of your photos show more background than coin. Large clear photos are essential in diagnosing coins as we have to be able to see all the details.

    It is not botched, you have exactly what it says in the certificate, “ selectively plated”, which means that only certain areas are plated with gold. All the coins that were produced would look like that. As they were done after they left the mint, they would be considered damaged.

    A plated coin. Possibly a high school experiment, see quite a few of these around. An aliminum coin would only weigh about .9g

    More spam

    Oldhoopster You say all Small Dates, I think you meant all Large Dates (At least I hope you do).
  25. Greenstang
    Everything shown is a Large Date.
