Greenstang got a reaction from rrantique in I am seeing more and more Ebay listings like this one - sellers trying to scam some unknowing buyer
One of the problems is that many sellers are uninformed in the world of Numistatics and see
something online and believe they have that rare coin. That is why there are dozens of listings
like this on eBay everyday from first time sellers. Although you will find some informed scammers.
trying to take advantage of the uniformed buyers. I have seen several cases on the various coin
forums where someone has bought a damaged coin and thought they had bought a rare error.
eBay policy states that you can ask up to $2500.00 for an uncertified coin as long as it is not misrepresented.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in DDO on 2021-P Dime?
Good advice from VKurt, it you can't see it at 5X, it is irellevent anyway as it would not be recognized by a TPG.

Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in Is it a better grade than what I paid for?
If it was a Deep Cameo, it would have been marked on the slab.
You do not pay extra for a Cameo grade, it is part of the grading.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in Lincoln cent Split Planchet?
The only way to tell is if it is in the original packaging. Once it has been removed, it becomes a normal 2000 cent

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in Wheat penny
Just damage. There is nothing during the striking of the coin that would cause that
Also in the future, please put the date of the coin in yout heading so they won't look the samme.

Greenstang got a reaction from JT2 in Information on this nickle
Welcome to the Chat Board.
That is not a Doubled Die, looks more like Die Deterioration Doubling, another of the worthless doubling.
It also looks like that may be a small Die Crack but not enough to add any value.
In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small details.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in Newbie?
I’m a Rising Star but don’t know how they came to that conclusion. Maybe they just drew names out of a hat.
I’m pretty sure that the Seasoned Veteran name comes about when you hit a 1000 posts.

Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1982 D error penny
Welcome to the Chat Board
First, that is a Large Date 1982. Also those marks are not doubling, they look like they have taken a hit displacing the metal which would make it damage.

Looks like it may be a partial grease filled die with lots of wear

Greenstang got a reaction from Henri Charriere in For the Love of Low Balls..... ?
I will accept your humble apology then Henri but no need to see your way out, I still enjoy your posts.
This coin has been certified by ICCS, Canada’s leading grader. You are right in the fact that the date should be showing but only if you cannot tell the date of the coin by some other marker. The 1967 series of coins were a one off style. The dollar had the flying goose on the reverse and you can vaguely see the outline of the back of the goose on the reverse. The other certified PO1 that I mentioned is also the same, no date but you can make out the goose.
The 1936 lowball that I posted is the same situation, no date but you can tell it is a 1936 by the crown, in 1935 the crown did not go to the rim.

Greenstang got a reaction from EagleRJO in 1982 d small date ?? the rub marks look zinc and i have no way to weigh it
It’s a zinc coin. You can see it on the reverse where the copper has been removed.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in 1998-D Quarter - PMD?
Total PMD.
There is nothing on that coin that could occur while it was being struck in the coining press.
It doesn’t really matter how the damage happened, all that matters is that it could not have
happened when the coin was minted.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in 1955-D penny Duel RPM
It doesn’t look like a RPM, the mm is too low to be any of the recorded 14 RPM’s.
I think what you are seeing damage that has flattened the D and scraped the field.
Also do not let the opinion of a few dissuade you from continuing to post. I remember
when you first started posting and your knowledge of coins has come a long way since
then by asking questions. I for one would never tell someone to stop posting, that is the
job of the moderators. If someone doesn’t want to read a post, then either ignore it or block
that person. I know that I just ignore opening the posting of a couple of members on this and
other sites. Looking forward to see what you have next for us to look at.

Greenstang got a reaction from Makecents999 in Interesting markings
Welcome to the forum.
As noted, just a damaged dime, probably intentional.
Still worth 10 cents, even in that condition.
