    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.
  3. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum. It is neither a split planchet or a cud. It is damage.
  4. 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.

    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.
  7. Greenstang
    A misaligned die can be off in any direction, top to bottom, left to right, right to left etc.

    I agree Both only worth the value of the metal they were made with. Hope you didn’t buy these.
  9. 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.

    Coinbuf- To avoid confusion, please correct your spelling of Doubled Die. Thanks

    What is wrong with selling uncirculated coins on an auction site?
  12. 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.

    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.
  14. 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.
  15. Greenstang
    Sorry but not a D over S variety.
  16. 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.
  18. Greenstang
    Looks more like environmental damage to me so I would say no.
  19. Greenstang
    That is damage known as a "Vice Job". Value 1 cent. Keep it as a novelty coin.
  20. Greenstang
    “Question” What is the question? Please be specific with your posts.
  21. Greenstang
    As stated above, that is a CAM. All 93’s are a CAM. It is the 92 CAM that is hard to find.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.

    Welcome to the forum. Not even a good counterfeit, definitely a fake.
