  1. Bubbles caused by Zinc dust. In the future, please show a complete photo of both sides of the coin.
  2. Seeing that those sets sell for between $8-10.00 (with the exception of the Type 2 mm), it would cost you way more than that to have one coin graded Leave it as it is
  3. Unless you think you have a $150.00 coin there, then NO, it’s not worth grading.
  4. Welcome to the forum Not a Doubled Die. Looks Die Deterioration Doubling Keep looking
  5. Just one of many miniature coins in different denominations on the market today.
  6. The only ones I know of were gold plated bronze with a weight of 24.8g which would make more sense if the gold was removed. These were manufactured as an advertising token for Sudbury. If there were gold plated silver ones made, they would be ones I have never seen or heard about. Possibly as you say they are for the US market.
  7. As far a I know, they were all gold plated. Wondering if the gold plating has been removed. The strike looks rather weak compared to the gold one
  8. Just a badly damaged coin. Sometimes you may never know exactly what happened to a damaged coin but if all you need to know is that it could not have happened during the striking of the coin so it is PMD
  9. I don’t see any eagle head on Washington but I do see a badly deteriorated die on both sides.
  10. Welcome to the Forum Hard to tell anything from those pictures because of the glare but it looks like it may be Machine Doubling (the worthless kind) Also I don't really see a die crack, can you point it out?
  11. Looks like the Obverse may have been plated at one time and it is starting to wear off. Whatever caused it, its damage as that didn't happen when the coin was struck.
  12. They should weigh 3.11g with a tolerance of .12 so yours is at the top of the acceptable scale.
  13. I agree A struck through would be incuse. Those marks appear raised.
  14. Welcome to the Forum There are many members here who will be able to help you. Post a clear picture (we have to be able to see all the detail) of both sides of the coin and point out what you think is an error. Someone will then be able to answer your question.
  15. Hi again- Agree with the glue and acetone that Coinbuf stated. Also what you are referring to as “ghost letters” are just circulation markings on the coin that may appear to be something else. It’s commonly called pareidolia, seeing something that isn’t there. Remember that an error can only happen during the actual striking of the coin. The devices are permanently engraved into the die so ghost lettering just can’t happen. There are a limited number of things that can cause an error but there are countless things that can happen to a coin after it has been struck that can cause damage.
  16. Looks counterfeit to me. Date is off, lettering on reverse is off.
  17. Please explain, what do you see as a"rare" error. Looks like a regular CENT to me.
  18. Goldbear- If you are going to post more coins for revue, make a separate thread for each one. It causes confusion when there is more than one per thread.
  19. This one is from China. There is a marker that denotes a Chinese counterfeit.
  20. Sorry to say but that is a Chinese counterfeit.
  21. I think your confused as to what a Double Struck coin is. If it was Double Struck, it would show on the whole coin, you can't have a Double Struck on only a certain area. Also it is usually the Hammer (Obverse) Die that is affected.
  22. If your looking for a value, probably around $1.00 - $1.50
  23. Please start a new thread with each new coin. It is confusing when you have more than one coin posted on the same thread. Also as stated, condition of a coin is number one. We need clear photos of both sides in order to see the detail before evaluating any coin.
  24. No problem MarkFeld The mods should really say when they move a post that it was moved from a different Forum.
  25. I believe you mean Lincoln cent and yes it is just damage.. Spend it before it rots away. Also welcome to the Forum
