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.

Greenstang got a reaction from Mike Meenderink in Is this a possible error or post mint damage?
Not an error.
Those are called Die Chips, a part of the minting process and are quite common.
They add no value to the coin.

Greenstang got a reaction from Mike Meenderink in 1953-S penny error
I have seen that rippled effect on a blowtorched cent. You have to keep the torch moving.
in order to not melt the copper. It would also be damage, not an error.

Greenstang got a reaction from Mike Meenderink in 1943 P 3 over 2
A second area to look at is the bottom of the 3, see how a genuine 3/2 has a bit of extra metal.
that is lacking in your coin.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 1973 Philadelphia weight 2.49 grams
Unless you think that cent is worth about $200.00, then no, it is not worth getting graded.
Being less than .5g underweight does not make it collectible.

Looks like your 2 for 2 Hinkle. Another good find.

Greenstang got a reaction from l.cutler in Too good to be true
Agree with the 1807 being a fake.
As stated, a clear photo of both sides of the 1870 will be required
but if it has no motto, then it also is a fake as the last year for the
No Motto was 1865

Greenstang got a reaction from Hinkle in 1954-S penny RPM-004
Looks like you found a RPM.
Matches 004

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.

Greenstang got a reaction from Mike Meenderink in What happened to this coin? Do you know how to recognize certain types of common damage on coins? Take the Poll #4 (Intermediate)
I voted Environmental Damage

Greenstang got a reaction from Mike Meenderink in 1918/7 standing liberty quarter
I was going to admonish you for holding the coin in your hand but seeing it is a counterfeit,
lit doesn’t really matter now. Date is wrong, Mint Mark too big and in wrong location.

Then go ahead and get it certified and let us know the results.
Sandon has supplied you with instructions and cost to get it graded.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in Food truck change
Unusual to find even in Canada silver in change.
The 1966 quarter would be 80% silver

Greenstang got a reaction from Newenglandrarities in 1998-D Silver Quarter?
Don’t forget there is a mint tolerance of .19g so yours is still within tolerance.
