You have partially described what a Rim Fin or Finning as some call it. It is a thin flange of the metal that extends over the edge of the coin usually caused by excessive striking pressure which causes the metal to squeeze out of the thin gap between the die neck and the collar. Once these have been put into circulation, the fin gets folded over the rim. Not much value once they have been folded over but if you can find one that isn't folded, then you would have one with some value. Nice photos showing where it is folded over.

Looks to me like it is a rim fin that has been folded over.

Good one. You almost had me believing that we had another newbie with his made up coin description until I saw your name and amount of posts. It does look like it could have come out of a fire though.

Welcome to the Forum- 1922 is not what is considered really old in the world of coins. If you want someone to evaluate it, you are going to have to show us a clear picture of both sides but from your description it sounds like it is not worth much over bullion.

Welcome to the Forum- We see many like this on the Forum. The dealer was right, it is just environmental damage, possibly from being buried. It certainly didn't leave the mint looking like that. The reason he didn't look at it very long is that anyone knowledgeable with coins would be able to spot the problem immediately.

It has some value, it's worth five cents.

Those experimental rinses that Mike Byers show are blank planchets, how come yours has Eisenhower on it?

Not a capped die and not a clipped planchet but I do wonder where you get these imaginative descriptions from on some of the coins you post.

IWelcome to the Forum- The only ones that I would send of to be graded would be the three gold coins. Unless a coin is worth over $150.00, it is not worth having graded. The two $5.00 contain 8.24 grams of gold and the $10.00 contains16.9 grams so there is over an ounce of gold in them. The Morgan's each contain 26.73 grams of silver so they are worth at least that in bullion. To see if they would have any numismatic value, a clear cropped photo of both sides would be required as condition and the mint mark are important to the actual value. The Eisenhower dollars are 40% silver so there is bullion value to them. Taking them to a coin dealer would be the quickest way of selling them but you would only get about 50% of the value as they have to make a profit also. I'm sure others will reply with their own ideas but this will give you a starting point.

Nice find for just starting into dimes. A 68 reverse with a 70 obverse. Your pictures show the detail well.

Pretty well worn and scratched. You might get a couple of dollars for it on eBay.

No, that is a Wide AM

There are several factors including a genuine coin is sold silver, not "silver and something else" but the easiest way to tell is that it is stamped with an R which stands for Replica.

Welcome to the Forum- Not even a good replica. I think that this coin has been posted about 100 times and no one has come up with a genuine one yet. They have all been fakes.

That is the Obverse of the Euro that shows on all coins in the European Nation, it has nothing to do with Austria. The reverse designates the country of issue, in this case it is Ireland.

Melissa, please start a new thread for each coin. It gets confusing when there are more than 1 coin on a thread plus the fact that no one knows it is here unless they scroll down the to the end of the posting. To get back to your question, that is a WAM

Your 50% correct, Its PMD

Welcome to the Forum- Please include clear full pictures when you are asking a question. A poor man's DD is die deterioration on the date and you don't show that. What I see from what you show is just circulation damage.

As per your other post, nothing there worth the cost of grading. The dimes all look to be damaged so only worth face value.

To have a coin graded, it should be worth at least $150.00 to cover the cost of grading or else you will lose on it. I don't see anything in what you submitted that would be worth anything close to that. They all seem pretty common with not much value on any of them.

I wouldn't say the OP is a "newbie" with 214 posts. He asked a question and then corrected himself and "put this one to rest" with an apology..

Welcome to the Forum- Agree with JKK. We need a clear cropped photo of each side to determine anything. No need for all the extra background.

Let me start by saying excellent pictures. Everything that you are showing is PMD, I cannot see any true errors anywhere. Sometimes it can be difficult for new collectors to tell the difference between errors and damage. One thing to remember is that it is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the coin, anything that happens after that is damage, even if it happens in the mint. There are a limited number of things that can happen to create an error but there are countless things that can create damage. Things like dings, scratches, distorted letters, markings that appear to look like numbers and letters, discolouration, counter stamps are all considered damage. By reading some of the numerous websites available, you can quickly begin to learn the differences. Here are two that I find are informative. error-ref.com wexlers

What you see in the coin world is known as Pareidolia, seeing something that isn't there. Once you learn how coins are minted, you will know that extra letters and numbers are impossible (except for the rare case of a dropped letter) to appear on a coin. Sometimes things like wear, Die Deterioration and imagination can give the illusion of looking like something else.

Good diagnosis Greg I was going to say that it was PMD even before seeing the second photos due to the fact that what you have would be impossible to happen during the striking of the coin. You don't always need to know how it happened but how it didn't happen to determine if it is an error or PMD
