    Very nice. If you wouldn't mind a little advice though, I would find a different way to store them. Those soft vinyl pages very often, maybe always contain pvc. It is very damaging to coins. I would suggest something like this. Amazon.com : Boen Coin Flips 10 Assorted Sizes 1000Pcs Coin Holders for Colletors The Coin Collection Supplies Include A Mini Stapler The Coin Cardboard Coin Flips for Coin Collection. : Office Products

    If you like it, keep it, why not. Oh, and the F is the designers initial, F for James Fraser.

    It's a normal Philadelphia minted business strike cent. Not a no S Proof cent.
  4. l.cutler
    Certainly genuine, just a normal cent.

    All of these are large date, they are actually very easy to tell apart. I always look first at the distance of the 2 from the rim and the shape of the 2.
  6. l.cutler
    Yes, another road rash cent. There are tons of these out there! Welcome to the forum.

    Looks to be a collar clash. Collar Clash (error-ref.com)

    When I correctly explained about 1943 cents, I was laughed at, told that he had been studying coins for a month, and told me that "you much not know much". I've only been studying coins for 55 years so what do I know. I'm waiting for the results from NGC on the 1943, but maybe they "much not know much" as well.
  9. l.cutler
    Agreed.

    The error would weigh the same as a 1P coin, 3.5. Weight is normal, that answers the question. Normal coin, just toned. Coins can tone many different colors depending on their environment.
  11. l.cutler
    Just weigh your 20P coin, a normal one will weigh around 5 grams, the wrong planchet coin would weigh around 3.5 grams.

    That’s a close AM. Sorry, I see you are new here, welcome to the forum. In the future, questions like this will get more attention in the Newbie coin collecting questions section.

    Just google “vise job coin” and you’ll see tons of them of every year and denomination. Welcome to you and your son.
  14. l.cutler
    I assume you want to know what happened to it? Someone hammered another coin into it, possibly even a piece of pipe. Badly damaged,
  15. l.cutler
    Be sure to post the results. I just hope you believe NGC!
  16. l.cutler
    Oh boy.

    Whether to send it in to be attributed is your decision, but you will be throwing your money away. I'm sure you'll be getting more opinions soon, but they will all be the same.

    You have this backwards, the 1943 cents that stick to a magnet are the normal, extremely common steel cents, the rare bronze ones won't stick. If a 1943 that looks bronze sticks to a magnet then it is a normal steel cent that has been plated.
  19. l.cutler
    All 1943 cents will stick to a magnet except the rare ones struck on leftover 1942 bronze planchets. Copper coated steel cents that stick to a magnet are normal steel cents that someone has copper plated to mimic the rare copper 1943.

    Purposely or not, it doesn't matter, it is just damaged. You can't go by what you see on ebay, there are thousands of damaged, fake, altered coins being sold on ebay as errors.
  21. l.cutler
    Excellent suggestion! It is disheartening at times when almost every new user here thinks coin collecting is looking for big money errors in pocket change to make a killing on. Which just isn't going to happen. There are so many interesting facets to collecting that don't cost a lot of money. Foreign coins are a veritable treasure trove of interesting history for very little cost. You can even get ancient Roman coins for a few dollars!
  22. l.cutler
    I'm just not seeing it at all, can you point out exactly where you see the reverse elements?
  23. l.cutler
    In addition, a genuine coin has an ornamented edge.
  24. l.cutler
    Better close ups will help but what you describe is not sounding like a doubled die. It would have to match one of these exactly. Wexler's Coins and Die Varieties (doubleddie.com)

    Well, they certainly aren't the major one for 1969 S. There is a more minor DDO variety but the pictures aren't close up or clear enough to tell. Where do you see the doubling?
