  1. It can’t be a DDO as the mint marks were hand punched until about 1989. It also looks like it has been plated which would make it ineligable to be graded.
  2. Don’t really see any errors, a DoubledDie is a variety, not an error. If you have to increase the size that much to see something, it would be irrelevant anyway. as grading companies only use 5X magnification. You could probably find something wrong with any coin increasing the size that much.
  3. Just looks like a regular 1959D cent. Do you see something that makes you think it has any value?
  4. Even if it passes the magnet test and is the right weight, it is still a counterfeit. All you have to do is look at the position of the S mint mark, it is in the wrong position.
  5. “How do you know its a fake my friend” Years of experience and knowing what to look for. All you have to do is compare your coins to the original photos posted above. Not sure where you got them but do you really think that you have two coins, one worth 6 figures and the other worth 4 or 5?
  6. Welcome to the Chat Board Agree with the above, just a crude counterfeit with no value. Also NGC does not appraise coins, they grade them.
  7. Welcome to the forum Sorry but both of those coins are counterfeit and neither NGC or PCGS will grade counterfeit coins. There is no numismatic value to either one.
  8. Toneing is not an error Toning can be many colours depending on the environment it was exposed to.
  9. Welcome to the forum That is not a mint error, it is a small gouge. You can see the displaced metal that would not be present if it was a Struck Through.
  10. If you are referring to the NGC registry, then yes, they have to be graded by either NGC or PCGS otherwise how would they know what grade to register them.
  11. Welcome to the forum Damage is not an error, what you have is worth 1 cent. Study up on how coins are minted and what constitutes an error or a variety. These are just some of the good sites error-ref.com Lincoln cent resources Wexler Doubleddie.com
  12. It must have been punched by the mint worker on a Friday.
  13. Nothing there that could happen when the coin was struck. PMD
  14. Easy way to tell. If the zero is round, it is a Large Date, if it is oval, it is a Small Date. All yours are round so they are Large Dates.
  15. Welcome to the forum Depends on what you mean by a good amount. A couple of hundred, a couple of thousand? I don’t think that a US bank will accept them and in Canada the banks will only accept them if you have an account as they have to return them to the mint seeing that they were discontinued in 2012. There is probably not anything there that would be worth more than face value ( except for the copper ones) unless you can find one with a major error. Perhaps a coin dealer might buy them at face value and he could put them in his bargain box. Don’t forget they are only worth 3/4 cent US. PS. I have asked the mods to move this to the Newbie Forum, this forum is for registered sets.
  16. If you want to spend $55-60.00 having it graded, then that is up to you but I think you. will disappointed when you see the result.
  17. Show a photo of the edge, that will determine if it was plated or not.
  18. That is not an error on the L, they are all like that. Also as mentioned, the cent looks plated which would make the value 1 cent.
  19. This is the Registry Forum, you should be posting in the Newbie Forum. Perhaps a mod will move it. No, that is not an error, it is damage. It has taken a hit the moving the letter. Here again that could not happen when the coin was struck. If you are going to look for errors, suggest learning the minting process and. what a an actual error is. There are only certain things that can occur when a coin is struck that can cause an error. Anything that happens after the coin is struck is damage, no matter what the cause. A good site to study errors is error-ref.com
  20. Nobody said that is fake, it is a genuine nickel. What we said is it is damaged. Whatever happened to it, no matter the cause happened after the coin was struck. It is known as PMD ( Post Minting Damage)
  21. Welcome to the forum As stated, just a badly damaged coin. There is no possible. way that could happen when the coin was struck. In the future, one clear photo of each side plus a photo of the area of concern is sufficient. Multiple photos are not required. Also please state what your question is so we don’t have to guess.
  22. Don’t see anything there that is worth more than face value. Even if there was an error on the 2023 quarter, it certainly wouldn’t be worth thousands.
  23. If the person was knowledgable, then they would come to the same conclusion as everyone else, they would not disagree.
