    Greenstang got a reaction from Johnny Reed Collection in 1918 s Doubled die obverse 1st known. Any ideas of the value this will have on it?

    Greenstang got a reaction from TON Collection in 1922 D triple die reverse peace dollar?   
    7Sory Ton-
    Coin is too worn and photo too blurry to see the tripling.
    Perhaps if I supply you a photo of what to look for,  you can check your coin to see what you have.

    Greenstang got a reaction from TON Collection in Silverish looking toned 1943 Cent?   
    The 43 cent looks like it was plated, possibly a High School experiment and the other two just look they they have toned over the years.

    You don't show the reverse so we don't know what the mint mark is but even the lowest mintage "S" MM had 13,560,00 with the Philadelphia Mint  producing 161,116,000 so they are not rare but still a keeper.
    Lahi-
    Please always show both sides of the coin when posting pictures. In this case it would have enabled us to see the MM. I know you are a newbie so this is not criticism, it's just the more information you give us, the better we can help so keep asking questions. We are here to help.

    Sorry but that is not even close to a genuine coin.
    In the future, please shoot your coins straight on. it distorts them when shot on an angle.

    Greenstang got a reaction from TON Collection in Maroon Red 1964 penny. DIFFERENT   
    Depending on the environmental surroundings, copper can change to many different colours. Yours does not look out of the ordinary for a toned copper cent.

    Greenstang got a reaction from TON Collection in Is this 1970 D penny a fake?   
    I'm pretty sure that what you have is a nice uncirculated 1970 D Lincoln cent. Copper reacts differently to different environments so it is possible the colouring is due to it being enclosed in the crystal ball.  Keep it in the 2x2 as it is in MS condition.

    You might be better off putting this in the "Ask NGC/NGS" forum. One of the mods from NGC could probably answer your question.

    No it happened after the coin minted. Sometime between when the coin left the striking chamber and it got sent out to be packaged, something got on the coin.
    I have seen some pretty damaged coins that ended up getting put in sets.

    Machine Doubling not Doubled Die. I remember reading somewhere  that about 70% of the State and Parks coins had MD.
    I don't see a two above the date, just a continuation of the stain mark on the field.
    The rim is larger on one side because it is a slightly Misaligned Die, not enough for a premium.

    Your not wrong Mohawk-
    I did a little research and the Token first appeared in the Cello Uncirculated Mint Sets in 1984 and ran until 1998. So as you say someone has cut them out of the P & D Mint sets and used them for there own aftermarket sets.

    I agree with both of the above. It happened after the coin was  minted so it would be considered damage. Certainly not worth getting graded.

    Greenstang got a reaction from KarenHolcomb in Cupronickel?   
    Those coins are from the Isle of Man and are a set of five commemorating fighter aircraft of WWII.
    The sets came in Cupronickle and a Proof Set made of silver.
    You did not overpay as that is about the going price for a set in Cupronickel. I think the Silver Proof coins sell for about $250.00 a set.

    That looks like two different acronyms.
    The Ag stands for About Good, which is a grade 3. The Pr  stands for Poor which is the lowest Grade but is usually known as PO.
