  1. 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.
  2. That is a small die crack, not uncommon on Morgan's. Nothing to worry about.
  3. 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.
  4. All 1993 cents are CAM. Where do you see DDO or DDR, all I see is a lot of linear plating bubbling.
  5. That helps to verify my previous statement of it being counterfeit, the weight should be 1.7g.
  6. 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.
  7. Pictures are still out of focus but from what I can see, I would say it is counterfeit. I have seen this counterfeit before.
  8. Duplicate post. Asks if coin is genuine on other post.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. "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.
  14. 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).
  15. 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.
  16. Agree Not a mint error, just a badly damaged coin worth 25 cents.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. 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..
  24. 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.
