I would say that was damage. A bag mark is not that big as only a portion of the rounded edge of another coin would strike the affected coin.

As there is no value to that aftermarket case, I can't see any harm in taking the Morgan out and putting it in an airtite. It would certainly be much smaller for storing and would eliminate any chance of misrepresenting it.

Your right again Hinkle. Glad to see that you are learning. That's a nice one too. It goes the full width of the coin.

Hafta agree with Kurt That is not GSA holder. Doubt if it is even a GSA Morgan.

First of all, don't believe everything you see on YouTube about coins. Second, where would a steel planchet the size of a cent come from? They did not mint any Foreign coins in steel. The only steel cent is the 1943 wartime cent. If you strongly believe you have something here, send it off to TPG to be graded because untill it is verified as a genuine error, it will still be worth one cent. My opinion until proved otherwise is that it is probably nickel plated to be made into some form of jewellery.

Another fantasy coin from Ratsie33

Welcome to the Forum- You really should have started your own thread instead of piggybacking on another one. Need to see both sides of the coin, can't tell if there is an error on the reverse without seeing it. What makes you think there is an error on the Obverse, tell us what you see and we will tell you if you are correct. All I see is a worn Lincoln cent

If it was a "Struuck Through" anything at all, the lines would be incuse. From that picture the lines look flush with the surface.

Could be from a vending machine, coin wrapping/counting machine etc. but it was not done during the striking of the coin. It is just some form of machine damage.

Which would you buy? None of them.

Struck through grease can appear anywhere on any coin but in the case of your Lincoln, I would say that the weakness was caused by an overpolished die.

Welcome to the Forum- This Forum is actually for buying and selling coins, perhaps a moderator can move it. We will need pictures to see what is actually going on with your coin but it is probably either damage or a partially grease filled die. Either case is nothing that would increase the value of the coin. Terminology correction- Coins are minted or struck, currency is printed.

Post Minting Damage. Looks like someone has tried to cut the coin in half.

Better pictures just confirm it is a counterfeit. Too many variations to be genuine.

Basically the same answer as the other coin you posted you thought was a 1943. It cannot be a 3 as it is the wrong style. Compare the 3 with the picture supplied on your other post. Another case of seeing what you want to see.

I'll say one thing for you ratzie333, your imagination far exceeds your knowledge of coins. Seems like everything you post post is a "rare" or "valuable" coin. All you have to do is check to see if it is silver or clad, that will give you your answer.

It is just PMD. Something has struck that side of the nickel causing damage from the " banana peel" down to the A in America.

Copper can turn many colours depending on the environment it was stored in. It is not unusual for it to be toned multiple colours on the same coin.

If you are referring to coins graded at PO1 which is the lowest grade a coin can be given, that is because they are in known as lowball coins. There are collectors who collect lowballs and the lower the grade, the more it is worth. Many times it is harder to find a low-ball than a high grade in the same series. As far as "roughing it up" to make it look worn, it is usually easy to tell between a genuine low-ball and a manufactured one. To be a genuine low-ball, you have to be able to tell the date and denomination, a coin that is worn so much that it looks like a blank has no value.

Welcome to the Forum See your other posting for answer.

Nice DD but it is a variety, not an error.

Hard to tell from that picture as it is out of focus and hard to tell if the lines are raised or incuse, but I am leaning towards damage unless better pictures show me otherwise. Normally a retained die break does not show as two fairly straight lines.

Not rare at all. Philadelphia minted 518,708,000 with no mm. Would like to see a picture of your 1979 quarter with a P mm though, that would be a rarity Also no DD and not sure what you mean by wrong date. It is a 1979 quarter.

Not an error and not valuable. Most collectors of proof coins would consider milk spots and staining as damage and detract from the value of the coin.

Welcome to the Forum My specialty, Canadian silver half dollars. A beauty, don't know why it wasn't graded at least a Cameo. The highest grade that I could find being sold on eBay was a PL66 so with that being the highest Pop, it would be hard to put a value on it although I would think it would be north of $200.00. It would probably come down to what you want for it and what someone is willing to pay for it as there has been no precident set for it's value.
