    No, it is caused by a Die Gouge so it only appears on the 2000P dollars

    Some of those sold on eBay may have been higher grade certified coins that would be worth the asking price. Condition of a coin makes a big difference in the value.

    I just look at the beads, if another bead will fit in the space between two other beads, it is a Small Bead if not then it is a Large Bead
  4. Greenstang
    Sounds like you have been looking on Esty for values. Don’t forget that a seller can ask whatever he wants and just hopes for that one sucker who will buy it although I have never seen any sold yet.

    1963 Silver Dollars did not have beads, it had denticles. Beads were not introduced until 1965 when there were three different types.

    If you have a Small Bead, I would like to see a picture. They are pretty hard to come by and worth four figures even in circulated condition.
  7. Greenstang
    Sorry but that is a Large Bead.

    Welcome to the Forum Briar brother Looking forward to your photos.

    That is not a Cheerios coin, it is just a regular business strike. If you are going to post photos of more coins, make sure each is in it’s own post with an explanation of what you are seeing. You have posted photos of other coins without saying what your question is

    Looks like a heavily Struck Through Grease cent. Nice find

    The three leg Buffalo is not an error although some may call it that as a marketing ploy. Overpolishing is intentionally done with the die outside of the striking chamber so it could not happen during the striking of the coin which is the only time an error can occur. Some call it a Die event.

    Welcome to the Forum. Looks like a well corroded nickel. If it was struck on a cent planchet, it would not be full size and be missing some of the detail.
  13. Greenstang
    Caused by an overpolished die. Notice weakness in other areas as well. There would be many more the same out there so doubt if there would be much of a premium as it is neither a variety or an error.

    Welcome to the Forum As RBW stated, there are probably thousands of counterfeits out there. A clear photo of both sides will tell if it is genuine or not.

    Looks like a worn die issue.

    I had the same thing about a month ago about a certified coin but NGC decided to not make my question public so it never did show up but I can still see it.

    Also known as Machine Doubling. FYI, a Doubled Die is a Variety, not an Error.

    Picture is way to pixilated to tell anything. It does not have to be that large, clarity is the main thing. We have to be able to clearly see all the detail to make a decision.
  19. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum As JJK stated, definitely not an error, it has been damaged. Looks like someone has punched it with something. In the future, please provide photos of both sides, this can sometimes be important.
  20. Greenstang
    Please be a little more specific about what marks you are referring to so that we know where to look.
  21. Greenstang
    I agree, That is Die Derioration. Also a DDO is a variety, not an error.
  22. Greenstang
    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.
  23. Greenstang
    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.
  24. Greenstang
    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.
