    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.
  3. Greenstang
    I agree with Coinbuf Both have small Die Chips which are fairly common.
  4. 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Thanks for the article Greg. At least you know you have a one of a kind error. Good find.

    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.
  14. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Is it silver or clad? How much area is struck through? Please supply a photo.

    Mike Diamond is the senior editor & author of the error- ref.com website so if anyone can figure out what is going on with your coin, it would be him. Personally I have no explanation.
  16. Greenstang
    What you have is a WAM with Die Deterioration.l Certainly not worth sending in as there is nothing to authenticate
  17. Greenstang
    Wow That has been heavily cleaned. Must have used SOS.
  18. Greenstang
    Welcome to theForum. You were right when you said Machine Doubling. Also FYI, a Doubled Die is a variety, not an error.
  19. Greenstang
    Just a damaged quarter. It is impossible for another number to appear during the striking of the coin.
  20. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Both those coins were graded by what is known as a "basement slabber", not one of the recognised TPG's so you can't put too much trust in the grades. Unless both those coins would grade a high MS, it would cost way more to grade than what they are worth.

    Please read the “ Coin marketplace guidlines” about posting for sale items. You have not given any of the required information.
  22. Greenstang
    I just checked all ten of your previous posts and I don’t see where you posted an error coin. Please explain what coin you enquired about.
  23. Greenstang
    See your other post
  24. Greenstang
    Looks like it may be a Nickel blank that has some damage.
  25. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Not really an error, it is a defective planchet. ( Lamination) Might be worth a dollar if you could find a buyer.
