    That is a little closer than normal but don't forget, that mm is punched into the striking die so if they got say 800,000 to 1,000,000 impressions, that's how many there would have been out there so it wouldn't be rare.
  2. Greenstang
    Unless it was certified, I would stay away from it. It looks different than the one on PCGS website, there would have to be two different sets of dies used for it to be legitimate.

    Show us the coin on a scale.
  4. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum It’s hard to sell a coin worth one cent for more than that, suggest spending it.
  5. Greenstang
    Not an error, some type of environmental damage. Always show both sides and crop your photos when posting. This can help in determining any error or damage
  6. Greenstang
    You didn’t ask a question so I am guessing you are asking about the bubbling on the reverse. That is caused by heat expanding the air between the plating and the core. It is damage, not an error. Also should that coin not be copper?
  7. Greenstang
    Agree Just a badly damaged coin worth One cent. And please do not hold coins in your hand. Shoot them on a neutral flat surface.
  8. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum whatever it is could not have happened during the striking of the coin so no, it is not an error, it is damage.
  9. Greenstang
    Picture is out of focus so hard to say exactly what caused it but it is definitely damage. There is no way a signature could appear on a coin unless someone inscribed it on and then it would still be PMD

    If it is a 1982D Small Date copper, then it is worth big money. If it is a 1982D zinc, then it is worth about face value, depending on grade.
  11. Greenstang
    The first is a Large date The second is a Small Date

    Maybe this will help you in what to look for. There are only four years and seven varieties you need to worry about. 1992 CAM, P & D mm (Rarest Variety) 1998 WAM, P mm 1998 CAM, S mm 1999 WAM, P mm 1999 CAM, S mm 2000 WAM, P mm

    Welcome to the Forum Agree with Coinbuf Hard to tell without something to look at.
  14. Greenstang
    All 1993 Lincolns are a CAM. Why would you want to grade it, It is only worth one cent.
  15. Greenstang
    You do not have the Obverse lined up properly. It is on an angle which makes the reverse on an angle. Make sure the word Liberty and the date are horizontal before taping it vertically.
  16. Greenstang
    Not a Mule. A mule is when the Obverse and Reverse of two different coins are used in the striking of a coin. Yours looks like it has been indented somehow. PMD
  17. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum One thing for sure, it's not a genuine Indian Head Cent. Doesn't even look like a counterfeit. Not sure if it was created as a token or what but I doubt if it has any real value. Never seen one like that
  18. Greenstang
    The correct terminology is Doubled Die. Always state where you see a DD so we don't have to search over the whole coin.
  19. Greenstang
    PIctures are out of focus but I would have to say no unless better pictures say otherwise.
  20. Greenstang
    Not a Double Date Not Double Struck. You can't have a Double Strike of just part of the Obverse, the whole Obverse would have to be Double Struck. Not sure where you see struck through wire, please signify. Instead of struck through grease, I would say that was a weak strike on the word States
  21. Greenstang
    Hear is a photo of a genuine Lafayette Jeton. They were made of bronze. Yours seems to be lacking a lot of the detail. Also notice on the date how on your medal the 8 is perpendicular while on the genuine one it leans to the right. This particular one is selling for around $50.00
  22. Greenstang
    Definitely a clip. Just wondering if that is a minor clip on the side.
  23. Greenstang
    Agree WAM
  24. Greenstang
    Agree CAM
  25. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Hard to tell when only part of the coin is showing. We don't even know what year it is. Also please state where you see Doubling in order to help you.
