    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.
  3. Greenstang
    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.
  4. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Greenstang
    Question?
  8. 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.
  10. 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.
  12. 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.

    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.
  16. Greenstang
    Looks like it is struck through with grease or grit.
  17. 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.
  18. Greenstang
    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.
  19. Greenstang
    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.
  20. 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.
  21. Greenstang
    Is it raised or incuse. Hard to tell from the photo.
  22. Greenstang
    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.
  23. Greenstang
    Nice looking Peace Dollar but I don't think it would grade MS67.
  24. Greenstang
    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-.
