  1. Looks like a partial grease filled die. Not filled enough to have much of a premium but a keeper for your collection.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. That is a small die crack, not uncommon on Morgan's. Nothing to worry about.
  6. 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.
  7. All 1993 cents are CAM. Where do you see DDO or DDR, all I see is a lot of linear plating bubbling.
  8. That helps to verify my previous statement of it being counterfeit, the weight should be 1.7g.
  9. 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.
  10. Pictures are still out of focus but from what I can see, I would say it is counterfeit. I have seen this counterfeit before.
  11. Duplicate post. Asks if coin is genuine on other post.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. "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.
  17. If you are referring to the colour, it is caused by environmental exposer of some sort. Looks like one half was covered while the other half was exposed. The obverse is also a slightly Misaligned Die (MAD).
  18. Welcome to the Forum- What you have is a case of wishfull thinking. There is no way that a TPG would certify that as a genuine 1943. You have to be able to readily identify the date which in this case you cannot. The best that you have is a well worn Wheatie worth it's value in copper.
  19. Agree Not a mint error, just a badly damaged coin worth 25 cents.
  20. Hi Kimm Welcome to the Forum. In order to help you, we are going to need some information. Are they all US coins? What years and denominations? Are there any silver coins? Also the grade of a coin makes all the difference in it's value. If there is something you think is special, post a clear photo of both sides and someone here will be able to help you. By knowing what you have will help us in determining what to do with them.
  21. First of all , even if it was genuine, it is illegal to own as they were never released to the public and are considered government property so it could be seized as some that have already been. Also the weight should be .93 g. There are many Chinese counterfeits of these out there that you can buy for less than 2 dollars so you can see why I am sceptical of it's legitimacy.
  22. JKK You certainly know more than I do about the Arabic language but nowhere in your translation does it say what the question is. I guess we just have to assume the OP is asking about the date.
  23. Welcome to the Forum- Please translate to English, If your asking about the date, it is a 1982 small date but need the weight to determine which variety it is.
  24. Don't think it would be a fake, why would someone fake a 90% silver for a 40% silver Ike. The last time a 90% silver dollar was produced was the 1964 Peace Dollar so that means that somehow a 90% silver planchet from 1964 suddenly appeared in 1971 to produce that Ike. Seems highly unlikely but is there another explanation if that is truly a 90% silver dollar?
