Greenstang got a reaction from Mike Willyard in 1941 Steel? Lincoln cent. Magnetic. 3.22 grams
Lots of mottling and flow marks showing. If it is partly magnetic, it was probably plated with nickel.

Greenstang got a reaction from ThePhiladelphiaPenny in 1869P 2Cent coin grading
I hope I’m wrong but to me it looks counterfeit.
It is .3g light and a lot of detail seems missing.
Is that the right colour or is it copper.
Looks like TPP both posted at the same time, glad we are both of the same opinion.

Greenstang got a reaction from peachyjo in Double Die
That is called split plate doubling, another of the worthless types of doubling.
Also the correct terminology is Doubled Die and they are not errors but varieties.

Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in New Discovery? 2024 Lincoln Shield Cent DDO (Double Ear)
First, a DDO is a variety, not an error.
Looks like you may have a new discovery on a 2024 cent. If it is a DDO
then there’s would be hundreds of thousands the same out there waiting
to be discovered. Check with Variety Vista to see if anyone else has
reported this variety and if not can you get it attributed.
Looks similar to this Double Ear but not quite as large

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in 2014 p Shenandoah Quarter error
Welcome to the NGC Chat Board
It looks to me like that it is Die Deterioration Doubling ( another worthless type of doubling)
by looking at the the flow marks and how all the “doubling” is flowing towards the rim.
This is caused by a worn die and is fairly common.
-
Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in 1960 d fs101 lincoln cent?
Hard to say when you only show a partial coin with the top missing but from what I can see I would say no.
What makes you think it is FS-101?
In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail clearly.

Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in Lincoln penny with major errors
It would be hard for anyone with even slight knowledge of the minting process to disagree with this one.

Really like the detail in the crown on this one.

Welcome to the forum
Did you have a question regarding your cents?

Greenstang got a reaction from zadok in Do the impacted areas of the obverse of this coin look accurate/legit?
Lamination problem caused by the poor mixing of the alloy.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in 1979 P Anthony Dollars with Filled Mint Marks
Filled mint marks are quite common on P and D mint marks. They are known as a broken post
as the interior post breaks off from continued use. Once a post breaks, every coin struck after
that would show this so there are probably tens of thousands the same. They are also not an
error but just part of the minting process.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 2021 Crossing Delaware error or damage
Welcome to the Forum]
This is the forum for buying/selling coins. I have asked that your post be moved to the "Newbie" Forumm.
As far as your quarter goes, it is just a severely damaged coin. That could not have happened when the coin was struck.
Also please get in the habit of posting photos of both sides of the coin, even if you do not think it is necessary.
-
Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in I received a cool looking coin yesterday 2002 p quarter what error is this
They are not even minor errors. Scratches are considered damage, not errors.
-
Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in "2013 1C D Lincoln shield"
It is neither a Struck THROUGH or a Broadstruck that I can see.
To show if it is rotated, take a photo in front of a mirror so we can see both sides at once.
-
Greenstang got a reaction from ThePhiladelphiaPenny in What causes this
It is just damage. The fact that you say the coin is bent verifies that.
