  1. Well put JustBob I do have an "just ignore list". I find it easier to just ignore some individuals (there have been a couple on here recently that when you try to help them they just contradict whatever you say) so it is just easier to not try to help them and ignore them. That being said there are other "newbies" who are willing to learn from what they are told and if they question what you tell them, it is just because they are trying to learn the reason for your answer for future reference.
  2. Welcome to the Forum It's called a counterstamp. It has intentionally been stamped after the coin left the mint. Hard to say for what reason but it is not unusual to see them.
  3. The 1995 is not a die clash. Looks like something has eaten away at the coin. In the future, please post your pictures right side up
  4. Can we see the whole coin both sides instead of four pictures the same.
  5. Welcome to the Forum Don’t see any Doubling. Looks like a regular 1960 cent. I would like to know where you see about 10 errors on the coin. I can’t see any.
  6. Welcome to the Forum Who graded it? Could you supply a picture or better still a link to the site.
  7. Seeing there is no known variety on the date, my only explanation is that the blunt 5 has taken a hit on the tip. By increasing the size of your photo, you can see a slight notch on the bottom where the tip has been broken off. As far as the thick and thin numbers, it looks like the thick number die is starting to wear and has some deterioration causing a thicker number. (Best I can come up with)
  8. It would probably depend on the grade of the uncirculated coin.
  9. How can that be a 1965 coin with King George V on it? In 1965 it would have the current Queen Elizabeth as the face. Also all coins from the UK have Latin wording.
  10. Please state where you see DD when asking. I don’t see any but I might be looking at the wrong place. Lincoln’s lips look like they have taken a hit. No extra value that I can see.
  11. All I see are some die chips and either damage or a small Struck Through. In either case not anything that would add much value. On the 1979 it looks like a broken post on the D mm. The Canadian dime looks like damage
  12. It’s Latin. What is the photo of the 1965 with the die chip for.
  13. Welcome to the Forum. A no mm 1979 quarter means it was produced at the Philadelphia Mint so it is normal. I think it was 1980 before Philadelphia started putting a P mm on their quarters
  14. Can you be more specific, not quite sure what your referring to. Also it cannot be a cud error as a cud involves the rim.
  15. It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin. Anything that happens after that, such as your coin is PMD
  16. No maybes about this one Greg, you got it. That is a 89 Reverse on a 88.Both the F & G verify that. Never hurts to clean coins in acetone, it may remove the gunk or at least loosen it where you could remove it.
  17. Picture too small to say for sure but it could be a linear plating bubble. Adds no value so not worth getting graded. If you cropped your photos, they would appear larger, all that background is unnecessary. Just noticed your new, welcome to the Forum
  18. A combination of wear andDie Deterioration
  19. Machine Doubling and Strike Doubling are basically the same thing, just different terminology
  20. Your partially right Hoghead. Machine Doubling is usually caused by a loose die that after it strikes the coin, moves slightly when releasing causing a ridge somewhere on the devices, depending on how the die moved. This also causes the device to be smaller. When you see “Doubling” where everything is flowing towards the rim, that is usually caused by Die Deterioration and is called DDD, Die Deterioration Doubling.
  21. That’s Doubling but the wrong one. That is Machine Doubling, the worthless kind
  22. Welcome to the Forum- Always show a complete photo of both sides of the coin when asking a question. In your case, the 5 is a die chip. The rim could be a misaligned die or an off centre die. Can’t say for sure from a partial photo.
