Welcome! It is a large date, these are actually super easy to tell apart. Check a comparison picture, look at the shape of the 2. On the small date the upright portion of the 2 is curved, on the large it is straight. Even easier, look at the distance from the 2 to the rim, on the large date the 2 is close, like on your coin. On a small date there is a lot of space between the 2 and the rim. Think of it as having space for another number.

Whatever it was in contact with caused the dot pattern. It was apparently laying on something with the pattern.

It has had a rough life, corrosion, dings, gouges, badly damaged.

Not a cud, a cud is a die break that involves the rim of the coin. What you have is a heat damaged dime, the outer layer separated from the inner copper core and bubbled up.

It must be nice to know more about coins than the professional graders.

They were given away over the years to special bank customers, employees, vip's etc. Virtually all of the unc Fugios today came from this horde.

Yes, you have to read about the Bank of New York horde. Can you imagine going through a keg of Fugios!

I watched the video and it has nothing whatsoever to do with your coins. Just because one Eisenhower dollar is valuable doesn't mean they all are. Honestly, if you can't get this, then collecting coins is just not for you.

Well, I found the video in question, and it is actually one of the good ones from one of the very good youtube posters, coinhelpu. The problem is, you didn't pay any attention to the information he gave except the high values. All of the coins he featured, he described well and explained why they are worth as much as they are. Nowhere did he even mention a circulated normal Bicentennial like yours. It has to be the same year, mint, variety and condition to be worth that. You need to pay much closer attention to what you are seeing if you have any hope of succeeding with coins!

Yep, both coins posted have the R for replica. They aren't even good copies, just the cheap souvenir type sold at tourist shops in historic sites.

How about a link to the video that you are referring to. While I am not defending youtube numismatic videos, many times it is the understanding of the video that is the problem. Post it and we can try to help you understand what you watched, if you truly want help.

Strangely, this makes more sense.

I don't know why I am wasting my time, but I have been trying to find any correlation whatsoever between the first three sentences and the fourth sentence.

Excellent point, they hype up the value and lead people to believe there are great rarities in every pile of pocket change!

I can understand someone not versed in numismatics being fooled by a coin like this, what really gets me is when someone has a normal quarter that clearly looks like it went through a garbage disposal and insists it's an error.

Welcome to the forum! You called it right, somebody damaged it!

That is just zinc corrosion.

There appears to be staining but I am not seeing any errors. Can you be more specific on what errors you are seeing?

Your coin has definitely been plated. See where the plating is wearing off the rim exposing the copper underneath?

Welcome to the forum. Can you point out where you see the doubling?

Welcome to the forum. Looks like die deterioration to me, as well as a little split copper plating.

Just a normal, worn 1970 D quarter.

I never saw the need for it until I realized I just didn't want to come here anymore because of one member. I did the block, and I have to say I enjoy it much more!

ITALY8686, I see these are your first posts, so welcome. As the others have stated, start a new post, with one coin, and ask clear concise questions.
