If I remember correctly, those were sample slabs that NGC had given out at a coin show or shows. I believe the numbers may have just been random. Perhaps NGC or someone else could shed more light on this.

That is a four figure coin if genuine. How much were they asking?

Definitley a fake. The face is not even close to a genuine one.

No

Pancakez1981, please start a new thread for each coin. It gets confusing when their is more than one on a thread. To answer your question on the 1994D cent, that is called Split Plate Doubling, another of the worthless types of Doubling. The 1958 D also is not a Doubled Die.

Yes they are die cracks. The four corners on the Lincoln Memorial are a common area for die cracks

Again, posted in wrong Forum, again, maybe a moderator will move it. To answer your question, that is called a counterstamp. There are many variations but as this was done after the coin was struck, technically they are considered damage although some people do collect them.

This is the Registry Forum, maybe a moderator can move it. To answer your question, all 1988 cents are a WAM.

Welcome to the Forum Probably the most asked question on any coin forum. Yours are all Large Date. The no mm means they were struck in Philadelphia.

Welcome to the Forum Agree with Just Bob, there were over 220 million struck by the Philadelphia mint. Just too common unless a high grade to be worth more than 25 cents.

Can’t be, they stopped hand punching dies in 1989. Looks like it has just taken a hit.

A die crack would be raised, that looks incuse. As Coinbuf stated PMD

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

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.

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)

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.

You cannot have a rim damaged like that during the striking of the coin. PMD

I'm not seeing anything either.

Welcome to the Forum It sounds like split plating but will need clear photos of both sides to confirm.

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.

Agree, badly damaged. You cannot have a coin that is struck in collar out of round as that one is. PMD

Correct, that is a Small Date.

That 43 has been plated. It would show a steel rim sandwiched between two layers of zinc if it wasn’t.

A coin

Right, except the OP's coin is a 1983.The same theory still applies though.
