    Did you have a question or are you looking to sell them? If you want to sell or trade them, you should list them on the Coin Marketplace Forum following the instructions.

    That is known as DDD (Die Deterioration Doubling) and adds no value to the coin.
  3. Greenstang
    I would just put it in a flip. The grading cost would be way more than the value of the coin. It is a Double Clip and a keeper though.

    Sorry but that is a 1953, not a 43. I can clearly see the 5

    Welcome to the Forum The 1925D looks ordinary and don’t see any doubling on the 1963D. Maybe you could take a closeup of where you think there is Doubling. Hard to tell from those pictures.

    Is it any different from someone squeezing two coins in a vise, heating a coin to create a bubble or milling the devises off a coin? Who knows why people do what they do. I know that some try to create an "error" coin to resell but other than that I would probably say they do it because they can.

    It does appear genuine, the star is in the right location and there does appear to be no displacement. My question would be why is a high value coin with a mintage of only around 4,250 not been certified.
  8. Greenstang
    Sorry, not a Doubled Ear. There are no known Doubled ear varieties for 2003

    GHOSTGIRL If you were to learn how coins were minted, you would know that what you have is impossible to have happened during the striking of the coin. There is no way the rim could be bent while struck in collar.
  11. Greenstang
    Not a cladding error, it looks more like a stain. Value 10 cents.
  12. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum. Your coin is just damaged, known as PMD (Post Minting Damage). It has taken several hits, one of which bent the rim inward. In the future, please show both sides of the coin
  13. Greenstang
    Sorry, not even close. There are only 3 known in existence and that is not number four.
  14. Greenstang
    Agree with Texas Cent (Because everything is bigger in Texas) We have seen several of these on here. They are considered damage so no premium.
  15. Greenstang
    Not quite sure what info your looking for but this is what I know. During the war in an effort to save nickel, the US mint changed there coinage an alloy of 56%copper, 35%silver and 9% Magnesium. There were 271,165,000 of the 1943P 5 cent coins minted. The value unless high grade is in the 35% silver content. The large mint mark on he wartime 5 cents signify they are of the silver content.

    Brand new rolls do not mean a coin can’t be damaged. Until better pictures, I agree that is just PMD
  17. Greenstang
    All you had to do is check your picture against an authentic coin and you would see that it is not close to being genuine.

    Welcome to the Forum A picture of both sides will be needed. There are counterfeits of these cents and would like to eliminate that possibility. A side fact: There are more 1943 copper cents known than 1983, so the odds of even having one let alone two are astronomical.
  19. Greenstang
    Looks like a steel penny that has started to rust.
  20. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum. What makes you think that is a 1943?
  21. Greenstang
    That is the weight of the copper plated zinc cent
  22. Greenstang
    It’s not an error. All 1990 Lincoln cents are like that. (Called Wide AM or WAM). What you are looking for is a 1998, 1999 or 2000 WAM. Yours is just worth face value. PS- Coins are not printed, they are struck or minted. Currency is printed.
  23. Greenstang
    Post a clear picture of both sides. Most fakes are pretty easy to identify. Someone here should be able to help you.
  24. Greenstang
    It is a Struck Through. Nice closeup pictures.
  25. Greenstang
    Where do you see DDO/R, all I see is damage and corrosion.
