    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

    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 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.

    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.

    They are not even minor errors. Scratches are considered damage, not errors.

    To show if it is rotated, take a photo in front of a mirror so we can see both sides at once.
