  1. Welcome to the Forum- As stated, always post both sides of the coin and please crop your photos. All I can tell you from the 1/2 of the information that you supplied is that it is Spanish. I'm not even sure if it is genuine.
  2. Welcome to the Forum- That Double Eagle is about an ounce of solid gold and probably worth around $2200.00. Nice gift to get. That plastic case means that it has been graded by PCGS with a grading of MS62. Do not take it out of the case as that is proof of its authenticity. The green on your cents is corrosion on the copper, something like when copper water pipes start to turn green in areas.
  3. Yes, the 1998 WAM has a premium. Nice find.
  4. Why do you think there would be a premium? It is similar to the 1993D that you posted earlier. Here again those are linear plating bubbles.
  5. Actually the OP is 0 for 3. The 1776 Continental he posted yesterday was also fake.
  6. The first coin is a 1783 Constellatio Nova. Hard to tell from the picture the denomination (100 or 1000 units) but whichever it is it is fake. The foreign coins I suggest you list each one individually with cropped pictures of both sides (we don't need all that background) with the circumference and weight of each. This will help in identifying the coins.
  7. Welcome to the Forum- First a terminology correction. The proper term is Doubled Die, not Double Die ( a common mistake with new collectors). Also do not handle coins with your bare hands unless by the edges, shoot your photos on a neutral coloured flat surface. The ding on the rim is just damage from taking a hit, it is only an error if something happens while the coin is in the striking chamber. What you believe is a Doubled Die is called Die Deterioration Doubling caused by the die becoming worn. There is no premium for this. Feel free to post any other questions you may have.
  8. Not rare at all. MD can occur on any denomination of any coin. Kudos on the photography
  9. Agree That is a Large Date. This is one of the most asked questions on any Coin Forum but I have yet to see anyone find a 1982D small date. Just go on the search Forum and you can see many pictures from previous posts showing how to tell the difference between the two.
  10. Looks like a partial grease filled die. Not filled enough to have much of a premium but a keeper for your collection.
  11. Neither one is a variety, if there was there would be 100's of thousands the same. To me the 1986 looks like damage from zinc rot. The 1950 is also some sort of damage as there is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin.
  12. Brad, If you are going to be looking for error coins, I suggest you read a couple of sites devoted to errors and Doubled Dies. This will give you an idea of what to look for. It seems that everything you have posted lately is not even close. Error coins site- error-ref.com Doubled Die site- wexlers doubled dies Also FYI, here is a picture of a Doubled Struck coin. Notice how the second strike affects both sides and is the same image as the first strike.
  13. This is the third time you have posted this coin on three different forums. The answer is not going to change no matter how many times it is posted. It is still a fake coin with no numismatic value.
  14. That is a small die crack, not uncommon on Morgan's. Nothing to worry about.
  15. Still looks like there still is some corrosion on the coins. Guess soaking in oil is not the answer. I still find for me that soaking in acetone the best for removing oil and light dirt. For mild corrosion, I use Verdi-care on copper.
  16. All 1993 cents are CAM. Where do you see DDO or DDR, all I see is a lot of linear plating bubbling.
  17. That helps to verify my previous statement of it being counterfeit, the weight should be 1.7g.
  18. This is the Forum for selling coins, if you post here it is assumed that you are selling the coin. In the future, you only need to post it once, you don't get faster results with multiple posts. As it turns out on your other posting, the coin is counterfeit so you can't sell it anyway but always best to inquire first if your not sure.
  19. Pictures are still out of focus but from what I can see, I would say it is counterfeit. I have seen this counterfeit before.
  20. Duplicate post. Asks if coin is genuine on other post.
  21. Always show both sides of the coin when posting. Also take it out of the 2x2 when shooting to avoid glare. This applies to your other post as well.
  22. Welcome to the Forum I would say no unless they are a high grade or have a D mint mark. Unless a coin is worth at least $150.00, it is not worth getting graded. " Good Condition" when determining grade is a low grade so it would help if you could supply clear photos of both sides so we can help with what you have. You tube videos are usually not a good way of learning. You can learn much more by reading books such as the red book and going on line to the various coin sites. Even reading previous posts by other members is a good way of learning.
  23. Welcome to the Forum- I think the problem is that you have your weights reversed. The 1964 90% Silver Kennedy should weigh 12.5 g The 1965 Clad Kennedy should weigh 11.5 g The weight of your 1964 at 12.5g is correct. The edge of the coin is probably toning, not uncommon on silver coins.
  24. I'm going to go with your first thought Greg and say it is damage from a hit. You can see from your side shots (excellent pictures by the way) where the rim has been raised from the metal being pushed in. This would not happen during the striking of the coin.
  25. "Are 1943 steel pennies uncirculated worth much?" Only if higher grades. A MS65 might be worth about $20.00 and a MS67 would go for around $100.00.
