    That is called a counter stamp. Someone has for whatever reason intentionally punched the 4. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin so it would be considered damage.
  2. Greenstang
    The correct term is Doubled Die and no it is not. The same answer as your earlier post, it is Machine Doubling.
  3. Greenstang
    It can't be a DDO-002, look at the BER in LIBERTY. They are not a match

    Great pictures Greg. Easy to see how the scratch has misplaced the metal forming a ridge on either side.
  5. Greenstang
    Short answer NO.

    Welcome to the Forum-For anyone able to help you, a clear picture of BOTH sides sides of the coin is required along with any questions you have. To avoid confusion, please show only one coin per post.

    Welcome to the Forum JKK gives good advise but I would like to know why at this time you want to grade them. There are many common Morgan’s that aren’t worth much more than the price of bullion so until you know what you have, you could be just wasting money on grading. Remember, there are far fewer coins worth the cost of grading than there are those not worth the cost. Let’s see what you have before worrying about grading.

    Welcome to the Forum It can only be an error if it happens during the striking of the coin so when looking at a coin, say to yourself could this have happened at that time before deciding whether it is an error or damage. In your case it could not so it is damage.

    Not sure what your question is but if you are asking if that is a DDO, the answer is no. It is the same as the 1944 that you posted, Machine Doubling. The word LIBERTY has just been damaged.

    Welcome to the Forum You have posted this twice without a question. Do you have one?

    Welcome to the Forum You have posted this twice, do you have a question.

    Try soaking it in pure acetone for 24 hours and see if it is glue it should comes off. Whatever it is, it wasn't on there when the coin was struck.
  13. Greenstang
    Unless you were there at the time, you might never know exactly what happened. One thing you can be sure of is that it is not an error but PMD. Something like that to happen during the striking of a coin at the mint is impossible.

    Nice looking cent but not a Doubled Die.
  15. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum- Agree See these fairly often. Coin has been intentionally ground down making it a damaged coin with no value above face.
  16. Greenstang
    Question?
  17. Greenstang
    We might not ever know exactly what or how it happened but the rim and lettering has definitely been flattened leaving the memorial intact. On the Obverse there are signs of a bit of flattening also. Perhaps it was used as something such as a temporary spacer or in some sort of other capacity that caused it to be flattened. Whatever caused it, it is PMD as there is no way that happened at the mint.

    I'm referring to that squiggly lines at the top of the right wing. In the photo the lighting makes it look raised in which case it is a Die Break. If it is incuse, then it is a scratch.
  19. Greenstang
    Looks like you have both a Die Chip and a Die Break.

    Welcome to the Forum- Looks like you have some work ahead of you. If you want information on a specific coin, large clear photos ( like the 1922 Peace Dollar) of both sides on a separate post for each coin will be required. There are experts here that can help with just about any question you may have. Looking forward to seeing more of your collection.
  21. Greenstang
    Out of curiosity, what makes you think it is worth more than a CENT? Perhaps you can learn something by telling us your reason.
  22. Greenstang
    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

    Joe West- If you forget what you have posted or want to see previous posts, just click on your profile and it will show you your previous posts

    This is the same coin that you questioned earlier. My answer remains the same, their is no variety called a shortened 5.
  25. Greenstang
    Looks like it is struck through with grease or grit.
