    There are some very minor differences can probably be attributed to die wear and circulation wear.

    Welcome to the Forum It is gradeable but I don’t think it is worth the cost. It is a 1 oz. gold bullion coin. Would you post a photo of both sides, depending on the year, these are highly counterfeited.
  3. Greenstang
    Thanks Coinbuf, don’t know where “quarter” came from. I guess I can’t blame this on spellcheck.
  4. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Your quarter is not the same, yours is suffering from Environmental Damage, completely different and has no added value.
  5. Greenstang
    Agree with the above. The edge is the easiest way to tell if it is plated or not. Also it wouldn’t be worth spending $50.00 or so getting it graded as it would not be worth near that even though it is a nice looking coin.
  6. Greenstang
    RJoe For future reference, it can only be an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin so ask yourself, how could anything of what you see on your coin happen at that time. The obvious answer is that there isn’t anything so the alternative is PMD, no matter how it happened.
  7. Greenstang
    Nice find in any condition. It has the second lowest mintage of any of the George V small cents.
  8. Greenstang
    Not quite sure what you are referring to but all I see is worn and corroded Lincoln Cent. In the future, please crop and rotate your photos, it makes it easier for us to help you.

    Definitely a counterfeit. Just one of many on eBay although this one looks like it it supposed to represent an Off Centre Strike. Read sellers description, sometimes they will admit that it s just a copy.

    That second ring on the Obverse is called a "Ridge Ring" caused by Die Deterioration. If your coin is that colour, then yes, it would be considered red

    I have shown this chart before but will show it again. Copy this and you will know at a glance what to look for. As you can see, there are only 4 different years you have to look for. I

    Guess it does in a way. It can't be an error so it must be damage of some sort .Probably taken a hit moving the metal.
  13. Greenstang
    What coin are you sending in? You do realise that unless it is worth at least $150.00, the cost of grading does not justify getting it graded.
  14. Greenstang
    Vero86 For future reference, here is a photo of a quarter missing the clad layers. Notice the copper colour of the exposed core and weak strike in the details.
  15. Greenstang
    The same answer as the other Forum you posted this on. It is hard to say what exactly it is except that it is PMD Possibly been heated.
  16. Greenstang
    That is not a Broadstruck, that is a Misaligned Die. I can't really see any DDO. With damage on the coin, I would value it at 1 cent
  17. Greenstang
    You have got a pretty good grasp of things but on MD the coin is struck only once, not multiple times.The die shifts on the way up causing the ledge which makes the devices look smaller. Also the proper terminology is Doubled Die not Double Die. Now you know what to look for.
  18. Greenstang
    Agree A bad case of the DDD's
  19. Greenstang
    Have seen this before but with no explanation as to why. Perhaps as I.cutler states, it may be from punching the blanks. FYI- Canadian Cents don't have ridges either
  20. Greenstang
    Not a 3 1/2 Legger. The front leg should be partially missing. Your coin has a full leg.
  21. Greenstang
    By increasing the size (just by cropping the photo) and lightening the photo, I can faintly see some sort of a line. Doubt very much it is a Die Crack or an error, but whatever it is, it wouldn't add any value to the coin.
  22. Greenstang
    Looks to me like one of the copy coins issued by Germany pre WW1. Maybe one of our experts can help on this one.
  23. Greenstang
    It looks like it ha Split Plate Doubling around the edge which would make it a zinc cent.
  24. Greenstang
    No sense guessing at the grade anymore. We already have a correct answer.
  25. Greenstang
    That is just a regular commemorative business strike that had 12.5 million struck. Some were colourized. Most of these commemorative business strikes are worth 25 cents CDN.
