Welcome to the NGC chat board. The NGC World Coin Price Guide (see "Price Guides" under the "Resources" tab at the top of the NGC home page) has the following listing for this coin series, including the 1856-BB issue: France 50 Centimes KM 794.2 Prices & Values | NGC (ngccoin.com). Your coin is well worn (Fine or so details), and its overly bright coloration suggests that it has been improperly "cleaned". Accordingly, its retail value would likely be less than the $30 shown for an unimpaired Very Fine example.

1818 large cent (N10, Randall Hoard variety) NGC graded MS 62 BN:

1853 with arrows Liberty Seated dime, NGC graded AU 58:

No, once again these are both large dates. Here is a 1982-D small date, this one the usual copper plated zinc (NGC Coin Explorer image) Note the greater distance of the "2" from the rim and the other differences:

This is just a well-worn 1973-D dime with an obverse scrape. I would spend it. Never hold a coin you think may have collector value in your bare hands, except, if you must, by its edges.

Welcome to the NGC chat board. Sorry, but both of the 1982-D cents in your photos are large dates and are abundantly common in the 95% copper composition indicated by a weight of approximately 3.11 grams. Neither coin has any collector value. Perhaps your confusion stems from the mint mark being in a lower position on the second coin. Mint marks were punched by hand on each coinage die until the early 1990s and differ in positions. Please refer to the following graphic provided in a topic on this forum by @EagleRJO for the differences between 1982 "large" and "small" dates, which include differences in the lettering:

These common date Morgan dollars (1881, 1883-O, and a 1921 of undetermined mint as there is no photo of the reverse) grade from Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated in details. The two earlier pieces appear to have unnaturally shiny surfaces, likely due to their having been polished or "cleaned". Even if uncleaned, they would have retail values of around $35-$40 each. Assuming that you have already purchased an annual NGC membership with submission privileges, the NGC grading fee alone would be $23 each at the "Economy" tier for pre-1965 coins valued at no more than $300 each, to which would be added a $10 per order processing fee, a $28 return shipping fee, and your cost of shipping the coins to NGC. See NGC Services and Fees | NGC (ngccoin.com). The coins appear to be housed in hard plastic capsules, which should adequately protect them. As is true of most coins, there is no good reason to submit them to a third-party grading service. FYI, here are photos of an 1881 Morgan dollar that NGC graded MS 63, an average uncirculated grade for these coins, with a current retail value around $100. Note the full details and frosty luster. I purchased this coin in its NGC holder many years ago. If the coin were uncertified, it would still not be financially worthwhile for me to submit it.

Welcome to the NGC chat board. The NGC Price Guide, which I looked at myself before your latest post, currently shows retail list (dealer selling) prices of $30 for the 1951 dime and $65 for the 1946-S quarter. Although you could try to sell the coins on the Marketplace forum or other venues suggested by @Coinbuf, I suggest that you take them to a coin show in your area and take them around to the dealers there, who will usually offer around 50 to 70 percent of the list price, and accept the best offers in this range. You can also take them to local coin shops.

Welcome to the NGC chat board. The coin dealer gave you good advice. You should first show the coin to a recognized expert or specialist in mint errors before trying to submit it yourself, unless you don't care about likely wasting money, in this case $75 for this coin as a single submission, not including your own cost of shipping the coin to NGC ($19 grading fee + $18 error attribution fee, which NGC will retain even if the coin isn't an error + $10 processing fee + $28 return shipping). This assumes that you have already paid for an annual NGC membership with submission privileges. Just yesterday a disappointed member posted a topic about what usually happens when someone submits supposed "mint errors" to grading services without adequate knowledge: Although I can't say for sure that your 1974-D quarter was altered or damaged after leaving the mint and not a mint error, it does not resemble genuine struck clad copper cores or clad coins missing outer layers shown in a search on error-ref.com, a legitimate error coin website. See https://www.error-ref.com/?s=struck+clad+core. If you are unable to get to a major coin show where you could likely find dealers or collectors with the necessary expertise, I suggest that you contact Sullivan Numismatics of Land O Lakes, FL, www.sullivannumismatics.com, (931) 797-4888. On the website, go to the "Customer Service" tab and click "Contact Us" for instructions on sending questions about and photos of your coin. You can also look for other dealers in this specialty on the NGC coin dealer locator at Find Coin Shops & Dealers | Coin Dealer Locator | NGC (ngccoin.com) or through the website of the Professional Numismatists Guild at www.pngdealers.org.

You may take some measure of consolation, first of all, from the fact that MS 67 is a fairly high grade to receive on a coin issued for circulation, although it is probably still not worth the grading and related fees and costs. At this writing, only two 2023-P Bessie Coleman quarters have graded higher at NGC, both MS 68 (107 in MS 67). American Women Quarters (2022-2025) | Coin Census Population Report | NGC (ngccoin.com) Hopefully, at least some of the other 29 coins also got decent grades. Second, and more importantly, I intend to refer this topic to future participants in this forum who express an intention to submit coins to grading services without sufficient knowledge about the coins they intend to submit or the practices of the grading services to which they intend to submit them. Perhaps others will learn from and not repeat your experience. The following are some of the facts you should have known before considering submitting these coins to NGC: 1. Most "doubling" seen on coins is not die doubling but strike (a.k.a. mechanical or machine) doubling or die deterioration doubling, both of which are worthless to collectors and not attributable by grading services. Can you tell the difference? See, for example, Double Dies vs. Machine Doubling | NGC (ngccoin.com). 2. NGC and most knowledgeable collectors classify doubled dies as die varieties, not mint errors. See Variety vs. Mint Error | NGC (ngccoin.com), What is a Variety? | NGC (ngccoin.com). Even if your coins were doubled dies and were otherwise attributable as such, it is possible that NGC would not have attributed your coins because you requested error attribution, not variety ("VarietyPlus") attribution. The previously linked and other articles on the NGC website contain statements such as the following: "NGC does not attribute as varieties coins that display Strike Doubling, Abrasion Doubling, Die Deterioration Doubling, Master Die Doubling (doubling that is found on all coins made produced from that master die), insignificant die chips, breaks, cracks or any variety coin that falls under mint tolerances for doubling or normal die wear. With few exceptions, NGC will not attribute die varieties that require greater than 5x magnification to be clearly recognizable." 3. As indicated in the articles linked under paragraph no.2, NGC generally only attributes varieties listed on VarietyPlus, which, in the case of modern coins are generally limited to significant and popular varieties. Countries | VarietyPlus® | NGC (ngccoin.com). Presumably, exceptions might be made for new discoveries of major varieties visible under no more than 5x magnification. Minor doubled dies, which almost all are since the mint's adoption of the "single squeeze" method, are listed on such sites as doubleddie.com and varietyvista.com and may be attributed by other grading services such as ANACS, but they usually aren't worth the cost. 4. Regarding actual mint errors, the U.S. Mint adopted procedures in 2002 to prevent most significant errors (deformed planchets, off-center strikes, etc.) from leaving the mint, and very few have been found on coins dated after 2002. See 2023 "Redbook" at p. 440. @Erin33 (to name one)--Please take note of this topic.

No, but NGC's affiliate Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) does. Go to Paper Money Grading - Paper Money Guaranty | PMG (pmgnotes.com).

The Administrator in response to your post on the Registry forum will likely request that you post your request for a new set and certificate numbers of pertinent coins on the following topic: Need a new NGC Registry set? Post here! --- Please remember to include your NGC certification numbers in your request! --- - NGC Registry - NGC Coin Collectors Chat Boards. She will also likely advise you that there is currently a "freeze" on new sets until the winners of this year's registry awards have been determined and that requests for new sets will then be reviewed in the order in which they were received. Ultimately, your request for a competitive Silver Eagle set consisting entirely of coins whose holder has an apparently obscure custom label will almost certainly be denied, and you will be advised to create a "noncompetitive" "Custom Set" in which you can display your coins holdered with this label. Go to NGC Registry | Custom Sets (collectors-society.com). (Custom sets are nevertheless eligible for certain awards.) There is a competitive Silver Eagle set that has slots for certain "special pedigrees" pieces whose labels indicate that they were acquired at certain major coin conventions. Silver Eagles, 1986-Date, Mint State, Specimen, & Proof (Including Varieties & Special Pedigrees) Sets | NGC Registry | NGC (ngccoin.com). I doubt that NGC would have such sets for novelty labels like yours that have nothing to do with the coin in the holder.

You may want to post this inquiry on the "Ask NGC/NCS" forum, where it will be answered by the NGC staff, or contact NGC customer service directly.

Please clarify your question. 1. Are you referring to 1 oz. American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins, (non-silver) American Innovation Dollars or something else? 2. Are you asking how to collect whichever series it is, or do you own NGC and/or PCGS certified examples of these coins and want to create a set on the NGC Registry?

Whatever this coin looked like when it was "new", I think that its current darkness, as well as the greenish substance on much of the surface, is the result of corrosion. I'd spend it.

Welcome to the NGC chat board. Please show separate photos of each side of each of these circulated 1979 Anthony dollars and crop the photos so that they are almost entirely of the coin and not of the table on which it lies. Based on what I can see in the current photos, I agree with @Greenstang, except as they are dollars, they are worth a dollar apiece. The coin on the left (1979-D?) is heavily marked from contact with other coins or objects in the area you circled, which is a negative factor to collectors and is not a mint error. The missing lettering on the reverse of the other coin (1979-P, common narrow rim variety) is either due to the coin being struck through a die that was filled with foreign matter--a minor error that would add little if any value to the coin--or post-mint damage.

As is generally true for coins made for circulation, these coins received no special handling at the mint, were packed into and shipped in bags containing thousands of coins, and were passed through counting and roll wrapping machines, picking up numerous marks and abrasions along the way. Examination with a good magnifying loupe (5-10x) at different angles and proper lighting would have revealed the condition of the coin's surfaces. How a coin photographs depends on the equipment used, the lighting angle and intensity, and other factors. The seventh edition (2021) of the deluxe or "Mega Red" "Redbook", which covers all dollar coins in detail, states (p. 915) that "[t]he 2013 Native American dollar coin commemorates the Delaware Treaty of 1778. Its design features a turkey, a howling wolf, and a turtle--all symbols of the clans of the Delaware Tribe. Around them is a circle of 13 stars to represent Britain's American colonies that originally formed the Union." The turtle's mouth is nearly closed and doesn't seem to have been depicted as "howling", unlike the wolf.

@edhalbrook--Yes, the 1975 cents that were included in mint-issued uncirculated coin ("mint") sets are the same as those issued for circulation. Dealers and collectors also saved uncirculated rolls and bags of these coins, which are also a source of uncirculated single pieces for coin albums.

The "Redbook" entry is a misprint. All 1982-S cents (proof only) are large dates and copper.

When the government decided to eliminate silver from coins in the 1960s, the new coins, which were intended to circulate alongside the silver ones, had to work in vending machines, fit into the same sized rolls, and be easily recognizable to the public. Therefore, they had to be the same size.

Welcome to the NGC chat board. This topic would have best been posted on the "Ask NGC/NCS" forum, where the pertinent NGC staff would have provided an initial answer. The NGC Registry forum is for topics pertaining to the registry. I'm pretty sure that the answer to your question is "NO". The NGC certification of coins in holders that didn't originate with NGC appears to be limited to the GSA, Redfield, and other holders shown as "Specialty Holders" on the following NGC website page: NGC Coin Holders | Holders for Coin Protection | NGC. Your holder is a privately made plastic holder held together with removeable screws that would have been sold empty to the dealer or collector who inserted the coin and ANACS certificate. It can easily be opened, the coin and/or certificate replaced, and then re-closed. It isn't a "photo slab" at all. The GSA, Redfield, and other "Specialty Holders" were sealed for single use. The photographs on an ANACS certificate were inadequate to tell for sure that the coin depicted in it was in fact the one that accompanied that certificate and that the condition of the coin was the same as when it was examined by ANACS. You could submit the coin to NGC for certification in a standard NGC holder. In 1983 the only grades for uncirculated coins recognized and awarded by ANACS (then owned by the ANA) were 60, 63, 65, and 67. The current 60 to 70 eleven-point scale was adopted in 1986. Grading standards have changed, and the coin may receive a different grade than MS 63. You can keep the ANACS certificate as an interesting memento. I have several of them myself.

I see no doubling of any kind on this coin. It certainly isn't the extremely rare doubled die obverse, FS-101, which is listed in the "Redbook", none of which has been found for decades, and which looks like this (NGC VarietyPlus photos): Note the clear, crisp doubling on "LIBERTY" and the motto, with both images at about the same level.

Are you asking about your own registry set or someone else's? You can add introductory comments to your own set by clicking the "Edit" (pencil emblem) icon at the top right of the first page of the set. You can similarly add comments to any of your coins by clicking on its slot and then clicking the identical "Edit" item above and to the right of the coin's description, as graphically explained in the following topic: You cannot add comments to another member's sets or coins but may be able to send a personal message to that member by clicking the "envelope" icon at the top right of the chat board page.

I think I understood that the coin had no date last night and think that I re-read the initial post this morning, but it didn't register. If NGC didn't state the composition on the holder, we might be able to determine a date range from photos based on the style of the devices and lettering. If @CoinfinderDave can't upload photos, we could look at NGC's images if he can provide us with the serial number and grade on the holder.

I assume that you're thinking of the "Follow the Lead Picture Post" topic. The "For the Love of Copper" topic is for images of any copper coins. They don't have to be in any particular order. Here's a 1944 Lincoln cent, NGC graded MS 66 RD, that I recently acquired:
