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?

Is there a reason you have posted the same coins on three different forums? It doesn't really change anything.

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.

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.

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.

Those areas looked raised, a die clash would be incuse.

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.

A bit hard to tell with all the white light but it looks like it could be plate bubbling.

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.

I was going to say the same thig but Coinbuf beat me to it. Besides the unatural shine, just look between the letters and the stars. See how there is still dirt that has not been cleaned out, this wouldn't be there if the coin had not been cleaned and was not dirty to start with.

Your right again! Struck through either string or thin piece of wire

Not double struck. If it was you would see it on the whole obverse, not just part of it. I have seen this before but I forget what it is called. It is some sort of MD I believe. I will do some research and see if I can find the correct name.

Go back to the main page and on the heading, click on "Submit". all the information you need will be there.

It looks like it could be a plating bubble but there is Die Deterioration also. You can see the flow lines running towards the rim.

I agree Seems like the seller is making up a variety that is not there. What you have is just a regular Proof with some Machine Doubling that adds no extra value. If it was true DD, why does it not say so on the description on the holder. Sending it in again would be a waste of money as it would come back with the same attribution.

It can only be can error if it happens while the coin is being struck. Once it is ejected from the striking chamber, anything that happens to the coin after that whether intentional or from being in circulation is considered damage.

You can search the Glossary on NGC Go to the main page and click on resources, scroll down to the bottom and click on other resources, click on Glossary. This will give you some of the common terminology but not the different variety names. For varieties (not all but many of them) click on resources and scroll down to Variety Plus. Have fun, there is a lot to learn.

It looks like the seller has made up a variety to try and increase the value. The coin shown is worth nowhere near the asking price of $165.00 US. Maybe half that at best. Look around and you should be able find a better deal.

Thanks for the photos, now I know what you are referring to. Where did you get the term "shortened 5 die variety" from? As far as I know, there were no varieties on the date on the 1858 cent. The only varieties in 1858 that I have seen are in the stem and vine. The 5 on your coin is a normal 5 with the tip taking a hit that has slightly flattened it making it look shorter but that is damage, not a variety. If you don't mind my asking, did you buy this coin and if so, how much did you pay for it? Did the description say it was a shortened 5?

Welcome to the Forum- It would help if you stated what year and denomination coin you are referring to. Also a picture if possible could help with determing the answer to your question.

Welcome It is not always important to know what caused the damage as sometimes unless you were there at the time, you may never know. What is important is to know if it could have happened during the striking of the coin which is the only way an error can occur. In this case it could not have happened at that time so it is some sort of damage.

Glad that someone agrees with me. Looking at the photo of a known incomplete clip, I see many of the same attributes. The only way to know for sure is to send it to a TPG
