    The scale that it is sitting on says it weighs 3.01g. Within tolerance for a copper cent.
  2. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum- It is a fake. Just compare it to a picture of genuine coin, it is easy to see the differences
  3. Greenstang
    Before sending them off, would you supply a clear cropped picture of both sides.
  4. Greenstang
    Where do you see an error. Please state when you post a coin what we are supposed to be looking at. All I see is a worn Lincoln that has taken a couple of hits.
  5. Greenstang
    Looks like Environmental Damage or possibly a stain. Probably taken a hit or two over the years also. Not a DD on the nose. In the future, please post a photo of both sides of the coin instead of two of the same side. This can help in evaluating your coin.

    It's been ground 3/4 on the Reverse and partially ground on the Obverse. Hard to tell if it was intentional or not but either way it is PMD.

    Welcome to the Forum It's a souvenir miniature coin. You can buy them in different denominations. You see them occasionaly on eBay. Just Google "US Miniature Coins" for more info.

    Most books are usually on the high side. What I do is check the ebay SOLD prices and average them out to get an idea of what a certain coin is selling for. There is no foolproof system for pricing coins except what people are currently paying for them and even that can vary from time to time, depending on demand for that coin.

    Welcome to the Forum. It is a counterfeit 1795 dollar with no numistical value, most likely not even silver. This is the second one of these I have seen today. There was another one on another Forum.
  10. Greenstang
    Agree, just a well worn Lincoln. Don't see anything that could be considered an error.
  11. Greenstang
    Why not post a photo of both sides of one or two of the coins you thought were counterfeit and graded genuine and see what some of our members think. I know that I would certainly like to see them as I have an interest in counterfeits.
  12. Greenstang
    Would you please point out where you see Doubling? With the reflection, I can't see what your referring to.
  13. Greenstang
    No. That would have been done after the coin was struck so it would be considered damage. Would probably decrease the value.
  14. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Definitely Post Minting Damage
  15. Greenstang
    The 1974 experimental cent was made of aluminum and weighed less than a gram. Yours is not aluminum and too heavy.
  16. Greenstang
    Duplicate post on the Lincoln
  17. Greenstang
    No, that is a Large DATE (not print). Did you compare it to the photo supplied in the post above?
  18. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chatbox- You are in the forum for buying/selling coins. I have asked a mod to move it. Not a big deal, just trying to keep the Forums straight. To get back to your coin, no it is not genuine. Here is a post I did a couple of weeks ago on the same coin.
  19. Greenstang
    Some of the Goodacre dollars were originally holdered by NGC and then all 5000 were reholdered by ICGS. In both cases it was stated as a Glenn Goodacre issue on the holder so if yours was not in a PCGS holder, then it was not a Glenn Goodacre Sacagewea dollar as I'm sure no one would break it out and put it in a flip.
  20. Greenstang
    You are going to have to do a lot of research on your own but if you think you have anything interesting or a question, post a picture of BOTH sides of the coin with a separate post for each coin. Also state what you want to know about the coin. There are many members here who are willing to help someone who is willing to learn.
  21. Greenstang
    Better pictures but you should have added them to the original posting. You now have two posts on the same coin which can only lead to confusion.
  22. Greenstang
    It looks to me from that picture that it is DDD (Die Deterioration Doubling)
  23. Greenstang
    Then ask your coin shop if they can explain how that could happen during the striking of a coin. Better yet, ask him how much he will give you for it. Anything over a dime and your up on the deal.
  24. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum No way that could happen during the striking of a coin. Just been damaged.
  25. Greenstang
    Maybe I should have been more specific but your right, I was referring to the postings on coin forums but if none had been found, nobody would be looking for them. I do know that there have been at least two 1982D small dates discovered. I think the last one sold for about $18,800.
