  1. OK, I guess the smaller picture in the album is just blurry. Either way, it is a zinc cent worth face value.
  2. OK, the smaller picture is a bit blurry making it look like a large date, regardless. It is a zinc cent worth face value.
  3. Which is exactly what I said in my first response, the first coin is a large date, the second is a small date zinc.
  4. Slow down, you show at least 3 different coins, which are you talking about? In the album are a large date 1982 D and a 1983. The coin with the magnified picture is clearly a small date zinc.
  5. Nice attitude, you'll last real long here. The small date coin you pictured is a zinc cent, not copper. The zinc bubbles are all over it.
  6. Just one cent. The first coin is a zinc small date, it is only the copper 1982 D small date that is valuable.
  7. The first coin in the album is a large date, the second is a small date zinc. Both are just worth face value.
  8. That coin looks like it has been cleaned. Notice the shadowing around the lettering and devices, this is where the cleaning could not reach.
  9. The circle is damage from a coin rolling machine. Where are you seeing the doubling?
  10. They are just identifying it as a Memorial reverse, as opposed to a wheat reverse Lincoln cent.
  11. Highly unlikely. The only valuable one is the proof that was accidentally minted without an S mintmark. These only came in proof sets. There were millions of Philadelphia minted dimes without mintmarks made for circulation.
  12. Sorry, but it is not real. It does look a little better than the usual replicas, the lettering is a bit clearer. Compare it to the genuine varieties though and you will see it just doesn't match up to any of them. Welcome to the forum though.
  13. That coin is just badly worn, most likely intentionally.
  14. Also think of the direction, what you see as an eagles head is facing the wrong direction from what a clash would. This is also a question for those more informed on clashes thatn I am, would a clash reach the recess of the die?
  15. It is your call and your money, so have it authenticated if you want. I personally would not as there is virtually no chance that they are silver. I would look for someone else to check them, or just forget about it.
  16. Acetone won't hurt the coin. It may remove the foreign substance, depending on what it is though.
  17. Looks like a normal nickel. Ice melting doesn't mean much, it could just mean the nickel was very warm when you did it. What other test did it pass?
  18. If you are talking about the bump behind Washington's head, that is a bubble caused by high heat. Not a mint error, just damage. Just noticed, this is your first post. Welcome to the forum!
  19. Even the blurry photos show it to be nowhere near 70. Quite a few small nicks.
