Another fantasy coin from Ratsie33

Greenstang got a reaction from Fuzzy1122 in Defect or dmg? Looking for assistance
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.

Greenstang got a reaction from Crawtomatic in 1964 D RPM Jefferson nickel ?
It is just PMD. Something has struck that side of the nickel causing damage from the " banana peel" down to the A in America.

Greenstang got a reaction from KarenHolcomb in Somebody has a Birthday coming up???
You have more patience than I have. I would have opened it the day I got it. Also I bet you will find a lot of MD on the incuse copy on the reverse. I read on another forum that about 70% of State Quarters have some MD in that area.

Greenstang got a reaction from KarenHolcomb in Worth grading? 1 in the Neck
Karen
That article refers to a Dropped Letter which shows up incuse on a coin, a MPD shows as raised on a coin, which is what the IH shows.

Greenstang got a reaction from Crawtomatic in Worth grading? 1 in the Neck
I respect your numismatic knowledge VKurtB, but in this case I believe this is a genuine 1 in Neck Snow-1 Variety. It is only the tip of the 1 that shows, the bottom "serif" is a bead on the necklace so you can't compare length as there is nothing to compare it to. Also a Snow-1 Variety is recognised by PCGS who have stated the following on their website,
I have also posted the following comparison picture showing the OP coin and a Genuine1 in Neck. Except for the amount of wear, they look the same to me..

Greenstang got a reaction from kbbpll in 1995-D DDO DDR Close AM??
I think the key word in your post is "potentially". Why was it not sent out to be certified or recorded somewhere? I have seen numerous posts where someone thought they had found a 1993 WAM only to find out it is a CAM that was either damaged or struck from a worn die. Unless someone can produce a certified 1993 WAM, I would have to say that they are non existent.

Greenstang got a reaction from Kirt in 1995-D DDO DDR Close AM??
Dustin-
In order to help you with the WAM, CAM varieties, I am posting the following illustration. It has been posted many times on various forums so I'm not quit sure who to attribute it to. Notice that the only years with a variety are 1992,1998, 1999 & 2000, any other year the AM is normal.

Greenstang got a reaction from KarenHolcomb in How to ID misprints from wear and tear damage
Welcome to the Forum
First of all, coins are not printed, they are minted or struck. Your right on your coin, it is just damage, value 25 cents.
If your referring to a " misprint" as an error, then you have to learn the minting process and what constitutes an error. An error can only occur during the striking of a coin so anything that happens after that is just damage. There are a limited number of things that can happen during the striking of a coin but there are countless things that can happen once the coin leaves the striking chamber. Things like dings, gouges, scratches, distorted letters, wear, flattened letters, discolouration etc. are just some of the things that can most of the time be defined as damage. For help in what a genuine error is, study some of the websites available such as "error-ref.com" to learn in distinguishing an error from damage. You are going to have to do your homework but after awhile it will come naturally and you will be able to see the differences for yourself.

Greenstang got a reaction from Kurisu in Your opinions please, is this a double die?!
Much better. Confirms my original assessment of DDD.

Greenstang got a reaction from Greenland in 2019-D penny error
Sorry but I don't think so.
Also Die Doubling is a Variety, not an Error.

Greenstang got a reaction from Matt_dac in Are these 2 coins worth certifying 1795 cent-1876 S trade
Yes

Greenstang got a reaction from JKK in 1916 and 1924 coins
Always show both sides of coin when you have a question and state what you would like to know about them.
Also rotate your coins properly so I don't t get a kink in my neck trying to see them right side up.

Greenstang got a reaction from Reme84 in 1954 S (BIE) Penny
Nice BIE.
Can't really tell what is going on with date and mm. Need a close-up without the "white light" reflection.
-
Greenstang got a reaction from Greenland in Need help with these coins
InWelcome to the Forum.
In the future, it would help us if the photos were cropped and oriented properly.
To answer part of your question, the first coin is a UK 1908 Half Crown and is made of sterling silver. The second is a US buffalo nickel, can't make out the date. The third is European, maybe German.
-
Greenstang got a reaction from l.cutler in Yes can it be a new discovery
This will be my last reply to this post.
If you understood the minting process, then you would know that what you are saying is impossible. The dates are not hand punched and are permanently engraved into the die so added numbers or letters just can't happen. What you have is a regular Large Date 1982 cent and nothing more. Please believe what everyone is trying to tell you and don't try to create something that isn't there.
-
Greenstang got a reaction from KarenHolcomb in 1936 Ddo???
Not DDO, it's DDD (Die Deterioration Doubling)
In the future, please rotate your pictures properly. It does make it easier for us to determine what is going on with your coin.

Greenstang got a reaction from KarenHolcomb in Mint Set
The red trim indicates they were made at the Denver Mint
The light blue (earlier years) and the dark blue (later years) indicate they were made at the Philadelphia Mint

Greenstang got a reaction from Matt_dac in Not NGC or PCGS Graded Coins
Those two graders you mentioned are both regarded as basement slabbers so anything they grade are probably inaccurate.
It is hard to say without seeing photos. You do not even say what year the coins are. More info will be required as it will depend on the coins. Some may be worth regrading, others may not.
