    Welcome to the Forum- Not a broadstrike, looks like someone has ground the rims and reeding off for whatever reason. Also, although it doesn't matter with this coin as it is only worth face value get in the habit of handling coins by their edges only. If you want to take a photo, shoot it on a flat surface? Coinbuf beat me by seconds

    This is the same coin that you questioned earlier. My answer remains the same, their is no variety called a shortened 5.
  4. Greenstang
    Looks like it is struck through with grease or grit.
  5. Greenstang
    The nickname of those 5 cent coins because of their small size was "fishscales". There were three varieties that year. Yours is the 1907 Narrow Date variety.

    Those are not coins, they are medallions produced by a third party. I imagine the only value they would have is the silver content. Perhaps one of our members familiar with tokens and medallions could give more information.

    Not quite sure what area your referring to but if is the mark on Washington's chin, that is a hit, probably from the edge of another coin.
  8. Greenstang
    Just a regular 1982 Large Date cent. What you are describing is impossible to happen during the striking of the coin so it is probably some sort of circulation damage.
  9. Greenstang
    Is it raised or incuse. Hard to tell from the photo.

    Also please drop and shoot your photos straight on. When you take them on an angle it distorts the image. 3.00g is within tolerance for a copper cent.

    Nice looking Peace Dollar but I don't think it would grade MS67.

    Red- If you believe you have an 1983 copper cent, you had better send it out to get certified. No one is going to buy a coin that has only about three known to exist without having it verified by an expert.

    What makes you think it is worth more than one cent and even if it were, you have to follow the outlined instructions at the top of this page to sell any coins. Also forgot to welcome you to the Forum-.

    Do you have a question? Are you trying to selling it? This is the Forum for buying and selling coins.

    Welcome- As stated, clearer pictures where we can see the detail on the coin. From what is supplied, can't even make out the date. How can you tell it is a 1943?
  16. Greenstang
    Is there a reason you have posted the same coins on three different forums? It doesn't really change anything.
  17. Greenstang
    I'll be the first to say that is an early stage dryer coin. It is worth one cent. If they were worth a premium, I would throw all my change in the dryer.
  18. Greenstang
    A newer token issued in 1975 to commemorate the death of Jimmy Sibbeston, guide and hunter who died in 1974 at the age of 103.He was the oldest resident of Hay River NWT at the time of his death.

    They are real cents that have been plated for jewellery. See the hole for possibly hanging on a charm bracelet.
  20. Greenstang
    Sorry but we have to see all the detail to make any assessment. The obverse has too much glare and the reverse is just too blurry. Seeing you are not able to get any clear pictures, I suggest just sending it in with the others because as I stated earler if it is genuine, that is a four figure coin. Let us know how you make out.
  21. Greenstang
    Those areas looked raised, a die clash would be incuse.
  22. Greenstang
    Could you please show a closeup of the date and mm on the 1879CC Morgan. That is a four figure coin if genuine and has been heavily counterfeited. As stated the 1921 Peace Dollar is not worth much more than bullion so certainly not worth getting graded. Can't make out any details on the others.
  23. Greenstang
    A bit hard to tell with all the white light but it looks like it could be plate bubbling.
  24. Greenstang
    That might be an early stage spiked head but I don't t think it is prominent enough to count. You shouldn't have to put it under a scope to see it. Probably after a few more strikes it would be large enough to see.

    Welcome to the Forum- Not an error. We see these quite often. That coin must have been on the end of a roll. It is caused by the coin wrapping machine when it crimps the end of the roll. It is considered damage to the coin.
