No, that is a WAM

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).

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.

Agree Not a mint error, just a badly damaged coin worth 25 cents.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Welcome to the Chat Box A cent is larger than a dime so it wouldn't t be smaller. As I.cutler stated, it is a dryer coin. Put it on top of a regular dime and you will see that it is slightly smaller.

After stating it is an 005 and seeing that it is on a 1989 Lincoln, I have been doing a little research to prove myself wrong. From what I can understand, about 10 years or so ago it was thought that this was a variety (005 on 1989 cent) and it may have even been on Variety Vista. After much discussion, Dr. James Wiles, a Coneca attributor claimed that this was caused by die abrasion that caused the 006 to look like an 005 and it is no longer listed.. If you were to send it in for attribution, it will just come back as being caused by die abrasion. I picked this info up from reading bits and pieces of other discussions about this so it is not something new but has been hashed about for quit a while. Hoping that someone else can add something to this posting as I had never heard of this before and am interested in what other members take on this is..

I'm not sure as you didn't state how much you know about coin collecting, but there are about a dozen coin dealers in Edmonton plus I think there is a local coin club. Maybe getting in touch with one of them might be a good start. It is hard for anyone here to help with what you have when you don't give us any details about the collections.

Would have liked to see the whole coin but I'm sure you have a reason for not showing it as you usually show complete pictures. With the top of the "G" being damaged and not extending out and the looks of the "F", I will say that it is an 005

Welcome to the Forum. For the experts on this site to help, they are going to need the size and weight of each coin. It would also help if you were to crop your pictures. All that background is unnecessary

Can't be a 1943. The leg on a 1943 extends down to as far as the leg on the 9. It might be a 1945

This is the same coin you showed about two weeks ago and you were told then that it is MD, not a DDR. Reposting a coin will not change it, it is still MD.

Agree Just some sort of stain. Couldn't have happened during the striking of the coin.

And your question is?

Welcome to the Forum As stated, that is just Damage. What you think is an error is impossible to happen during the striking of the coin. The only time you can have a random letter or number appear without it being damage is if you have what is called a "dropped letter" which in this case it is not.

Welcome to the Forum- You are probably referring to the initials AW for the designer Adolph Weinman which show on all Mercury dimes. The mint mark is on the reverse. Also it is a good habit that whenever you ask a question about coins, please accompany it with a large clear photo of both sides. This will better help us in answering your question.

Looks genuine to me. Part of the GSA hoard. Where on the internet is it being sold? eBay, etsy, private, etc.

First- Welcome to the Forum Second,- Could you supply a picture of the full Obverse. All 1996D cents are supposed to be CAM. Only the 1996S have the WAM.

It says that it is silver but the only way to be sure that it is solid silver and not plated is to have it tested. Not having ever seen one before, I can't say for sure if it is genuine or a copy.

Welcome to the Forum. That is normal. There were over 658 million with no mm produced and I'm sure they all look the same.

I'm sure the coin looks better in person as toning is hard to photograph. I know when I have tried, they turn out more black that toned. Toning and the different colours of toning are caused by whatever environmental conditions they were exposed too. Some exposures can create rainbow colours while others can make the coin look dirty.
