    Greenstang got a reaction from Coinbuf in Occluded Gas Bubble Pitting? Yes or No and... why or why not you attribute the error.   
    I was just starting to reply when I saw that Coinbuf beat me to so I will just say that I agree with his statement.
    An occulated gas bubble only occurs on solid-alloy coins such as  pre 1982 solid copper cents.

    Very sad news. Although I never met him personally, I felt that I new him just by reading his informative posts and literature.
    Rest in peace Dave, you will be missed by all.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Hoghead515 in 1959D Lincoln cent error?   
    Not seeing anything but a Lincoln cent with staining. If there is any Doubling, please show a closeup of that area, can’t see any from photo supplied.

    Greenstang got a reaction from JT2 in 2011 Glacier Nat’l Park Quarter, Stuck thru cloth? More info   
    My answer is the same as your first post. There is no way for that to happen during the striking of the coin so by default it is damage, no matter how it happened.

    Agree with the above, you would lose money having them graded.

    One thing about damage is unless you were there when it happened, you may never know how it occurred, there are too many variables. It doesn’t really matter though, damage is damage no matter the cause.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Hoghead515 in Struck thru cloth? 2011-D Glacier Park Quarter   
    A struck through would not be on both sides. It has been chemically altered after it left the mint.
    Just a damaged quarter now.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Hoghead515 in 1983 WASHINGTON QUARTER ERROR   
    That is 100% damage. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin.
    Surprised there is even any doubt. You certainly don't need to see the coin to know it is not an error.
    Worth 25 cents if you can get someone to accept it.

    Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in Newbie Question - Double Die Obverse   
    That is what is known as Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD), a worthless type of doubling  caused by a worn die.
    Please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated especially when you increase the size of the picture.

    Greenstang got a reaction from Seamus8 in Newbie Question - Double Die Obverse   
    Agree with the Eagle,
    DDD is not an error, as is not MD, they are just part of the minting process. The only “error” is the mint using the dies too long. I have seen it sometimes called a “Die Event”
