    Welcome to the Forum. And your question is? Also in the future, please crop and rotate your photos, this will increase the size of the photo of the coin.
  2. Greenstang
    Good thinking Roger, look at how much you could save with shipping charges for a bulk submission.
  3. Greenstang
    Yes, do not piggyback on someone else’s thread. It just causes confusion when some one is replying to a question. Perhaps a mod can move it to

    One thing to remember, ICCS only grades the Obverse, not the whole coin. Also they will designate a Cameo based on the Obverse only, even if the reverse is non cameo.
  5. Greenstang
    That coin on the scale is not the same coin you showed originally. The first coin showing is a Small Date, the coin on the scale is a Large Date. Confusing.

    Welcome to the Forum We will need to see both sides ( something that should be done at all times) before determining what the error is. Also it will not be rare or worth a lot of money but will have some value depending on the error.
  7. Greenstang
    Are those two different coins? Look like gouge marks. Some may consider them an error but I consider them a part of the minting process as they were not done during the striking of the coin but were intentionally done to the striking die.
  8. Greenstang
    At what stage during the minting process do you figure that could happen to create an error. I can’t think of any possible way so that leaves damage as the only option.
  9. Greenstang
    Correct, it is a Small Date.
  10. Greenstang
    Badly damaged, possibly intentionally There is no possible way that could happen during the striking of the coin.
  11. Greenstang
    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.
  12. 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.
  14. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum It’s hard to sell a coin worth one cent for more than that, suggest spending it.
  15. 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
  16. 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?
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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
  20. Greenstang
    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.
  21. Greenstang
    The first is a Large date The second is a Small Date
  22. Greenstang
    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
  23. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Agree with Coinbuf Hard to tell without something to look at.
  24. Greenstang
    All 1993 Lincolns are a CAM. Why would you want to grade it, It is only worth one cent.
  25. 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.
