It 's not an error. You can't have a a rim only on one side without it being altered somehow. In this case it has been intentionally ground down , have seen this before.

That is common MD. I remember reading on another post that someone did a count and said that over 60% of the quarters that had reverse lettering had MD, so yes, it is common.

Without actually testing it for silver, my bet would be that it is plated which certainly would not be uncommon.

Only seeing a photo of the coin on a scale and can’t tell much from that.

If you are selling these coins, please follow the Coin Marketplace guidelines at the top of this forum.

I have asked a mod to move this to the appropriate Forum, this Forum is for registered sets. Your coin is just damage and worth 25 cents. If someone offered you $10.00, take it and run.

Welcome to the Forum. Would you supply a clear photo of both sides of the holder. This will certainly help us give you an answer.

No need to apologize, I can see your point, just letting you know that I am not new at this. I see the boys at CCF have also agreed that it is not genuine. That should remove any doubt that you may have had. Now try and get your money back.

FYI - I am not one who is "too quick". I have reported and had removed hundreds of counterfeits to eBay and have never had one rejected as being wrong. If I am not 100% sure, I will not report it. To get back to your coin, an easy check is the date. I have enclosed a photo of a genuine sixpence for comparison. Also there is bubbling on the reverse but the coin is supposed to be Sterling Silver plus the fact you only paid 30 pounds for a coin worth over 100 seems suspicious. I have included photos of both varieties so you can see that it is different from either one.

Sorry to tell you, but that is a counterfeit, replica, knockoff or whatever you want to call it but it is not genuine. Hope you didn't pay too much for it and can get your money back.

That is not an error, that is due to overpolishing of the die. Notice how the roof supports and Lincoln are also mostly missing. If it was grease filled, only the initials would be affected. This is common on most Memorial Lincolns and adds very little value seeing that they are so common. I think the TPG's have stopped grading them so you would be wasting your money sending it in.. That article by Mr.Bill is 9 years old .

About the only time a coin is worth getting graded, unless you just want it slabbed for some reason, is if it is worth around $150.00 or more. Silver is always nice because it is always worth the bullion value, no matter the condition.

Welcome to the Forum. The Fu Manchu Moustache Die Clash does have a premium, it is known as Variety Rev.004. As far as price you can't go by the asking price on eBay as the seller can ask whatever he wants. Also the grade is critical in the value of a coin. Looking at the sold prices on eBay for a coin like yours in similar condition goes for about $95.00 so it would not be worth grading.

Don't forget that mm were hand punched up until 1989 so it is possible for some mm's to be punched deeper than others. It looks like on yours that the shoulder of the punch is showing. Maybe the worker felt a little stronger that day.

Just normal circulation wear. It is impossible to have an extra letter or number appear on a coin (Except for a dropped letter) during the minting process. If it was an "F", it would be on all the coins that die produced which could be up to a million.

There are countless things that can happen to a coin after it leaves the mint. Sometimes the only way of knowing what is if you were there when it happened. The main thing that matters is that it is not an error but damage.

The fact that there are no rims tell you that it was defaced after the coin left the Mint. If it was any type of striking error, the rims would still be present.

I agree with PMD There are only two things that could have happened. An error during the striking of the coin or damage. As that could not have happened during the striking of the coin, the alternative is damage, no matter how it happened.

What you describe sounds like Indirect Die Transfer or “ghosting”. Not really common but I have seen it on Lincoln’s. You will find it quite often on early UK King Edward pennies. Supply a photo when you get your scanner so that it can be verified.

Large Date and don't hold a coin in your hands. If that was a valuable coin, fingerprints would greatly devaluate it. Also you only have to post once, someone will get back to you when they have time.

Welcome to the Forum. That is neither an error or a fake. That is called Machine Doubling, a common occurrence during the striking of the coin. I have also asked a mod to move this post to a proper forum.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by a "rare" 1964 CENT?

Welcome to the Forum Sorry but that is one of the many chinese counterfeits out there.

Welcome to the the Forum This is the Forum for buying and selling, maybe a mod can move it . That being said, there is nothing special about your Lincoln’s, they are are all Large Date and might be worth 5 cents total.
