  1. There are 8 if you count the copper 1982D Small Date but I doubt you will find a slot for one in any coin holder. correct typo
  2. That is what is known as a misaligned die (MAD) on the Reverse. The Obverse looks normal.. Is It is not off enough to have any premium. There is no Doubling on your coin. Also please do not hold coins in your hand. Lay it on a flat surface to shoot your photos. If that was a valuable coin, your fingerprints would greatly reduce the value.
  3. Please start a new posting for each coin. It only causes confusion when there is more than one coin on a post. Also to answer your question, both sides of the coin will have to be shown. ( This should be done in all cases)
  4. Don't know where you got your info from, but the normal weight for that dime is 2.27g so you are .01g over which is well within spec.
  5. You cannot have a rim damaged like that during the striking of the coin. PMD
  6. Welcome to the Forum It sounds like split plating but will need clear photos of both sides to confirm.
  7. Glad to see that you are learning Sharran. It is better than just posting every piece of pocket change like some people and hoping that someone hear can find an error on it. You can’t always tell the difference between zinc and copper but most of the time if you look at the fields (the surface), you will see that on zinc coins it has a more textured appearance and maybe even shows signs of plate bubbling. If you look at a copper coin, unless it has been damaged, you will find that the fields are smoother. The last coin posted is a good example of a zinc coin.
  8. Agree, badly damaged. You cannot have a coin that is struck in collar out of round as that one is. PMD
  9. That 43 has been plated. It would show a steel rim sandwiched between two layers of zinc if it wasn’t.
  10. Right, except the OP's coin is a 1983.The same theory still applies though.
  11. What do I think? I think it has been plated. Show a photo of the edge to verify.
  12. Canadian 25 Cent pieces. Year can be anywhere between 1912 and 1936. Only worth silver value in that condition.
  13. Where did you get the idea that there is a 1983 Small Date, they are all the same.
  14. Welcome to the Forum Is it incuse or flush with field. Can’t be a shadow as it is pointing the wrong way.
  15. It is just damage. You cannot have only part of a coin double struck, the whole coin would be double struck resulting in everything being doubled.
  16. Looks like an ordinary CENT to me. Grading cost $50.00 Value 1 cent . It’s your call.
  17. A well placed linear plating bubble. Can’t quite tell what’s going at the top of Abe’s head
  18. Not an error, it’s damage. Vending machines will also cause this damage. Crimping machines are usually closer to the rim.
  19. Not an error, it's damage. Looks like it has corroded.
  20. It is a slight MAD (Misaligned Die) . No extra value.
