Welcome to the forum @Lacywebb. Yes.... what he said ^ and what he above he said^^......  Normal Cent.  I do see what is called Ejection Doubling on the letters on both the obverse and reverse best I can tell from your pictures.  This is just one of the many types of worthless doubling and are in no way consistent with true hub doubling.  Here's an informative write-up link below that may help you distinguish between true doubling and worthless doubling along with everything that @Woods020 supplied you with in his comment.  You will probably have to copy and paste the link below and put it into your browser.  Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forum Vero.  Here is an educational link and some very good pictures to help you understand what happens when the recesses of a die become filled with 'grease'. Scroll down to the second topic in bold letters and you will see how your coin is very similar to the pics shown.

I am also new at this,My question is the same flips that are used to store coins, are they the same ones used to submit a coin for grading?

Hello Cecelia R. Valverde and Welcome to the forum.  As Just Bob commented, make absolutely certain your coin flips do not contain PVC of any type.  PVC can, and will, cause irreversible damage to your coins as a result of chemical reactions with a coin's metallic content. There has been other discussions on the forum here about this same topic, coin flips.  I use the brand called Saflip which are made of a material called Mylar.  They are perfectly safe for all types of coins.  I really like the online store called Wizard Coin Supply. They ship fast and seem to have very good prices. Here is a link I just copy and pasted for you that should take you directly to their page containing both sizes of these flips. Just FYI- You will have to look on the left side of their page, look under material, and click the box that says "Mylar" and the Saflip should pop right up.  Hope this helps.

I was going to say maybe it would squeak into the G range but Just Bob knows WAY more than I do. 👍

I agree with the above. The additional letters showing are inverted or backwards and the edge of the coin in 'that' area is unaffected (meaning the edge of the coin above Lincoln's head). Obviously, there is definite damage on the rim at 8 o'clock.  Just a normal damaged coin.

I have a gold $5 coin as the pendent of a necklace.  Can it be graded as is or does it have to be removed from the setting?  My fear is that it will be damaged if it is removed from the setting. 

Hello Distance Ace. Sorry to get away from your $5 gold coin topic and go off on a tangent about jewelry items, but @Coinbuf gave you some very good information. What coin is it that you have? Can you post some pics?  Thanks.

Given that the 1904 Philly is the most common Liberty Head double eagle, I'd say you're correct in your assessment, GBrad.  Tragic, isn't it?

Yes….. I just edited my post to reflect exactly what you said before I saw your reply to my comment. 👍

Generally speaking coins that are removed from the mount have marks from the mount, so if sent to the TPG's these coins will not (usually) be given a grade and noted on the slab.  Many times coins from jewelry will have worn surfaces (from contact with the skin) or heavy scratches which usually reduce the value to bullion anyway.   Unless the coin is an extreme rarity it would not be worth the time and cost to have it graded and slabbed.   Here is an example of one such coin in a PCGS slab.   

Oh my….. oh MY!!! I’m not a gold coin guy but I just looked up the value of this 1904 $20 piece. I see they are somewhat abundant but I almost puked when I saw what a grade of MS65 was potentially worth.  Can’t tell from the pics, on my cell phone, but hopefully this one was a very low grade. So I guess now it is only worth bullion?

Shhhh. I am a long standing Eagles fan.

Not to change the subject here (but maybe we all need a breath of air ).... here ya go VKurt. 100%  Authenticated real Philadelphia Eagles helmet autographed by none other than "Concrete Charlie" himself, Hall of Fame 1967.  Thought I had a better pic than this, sorry for the glare, but this was a present I got for my business partner several years ago whom was born and raised in Philly and a lifelong Eagles fan!! It brought tears to his eyes.

Here is today’s available 1983 proof sets. Fresh from eBay. Good luck buddy 

 

there’s more 🤓

Thank you James. I've shied away from Ebay for awhile now after getting burned in the past but maybe I need to give it a second chance especially since the cost of these sets are not extravagant.  Looking into it right now.

They were cheap! eBay $15.29 + 3.90 sh. Even got two vials of gold flake.

Looks like three vials in your pic....lol. If you got those 3 vials of gold leaf scrap included in the price you paid, with gold currently near $58 per gram, then you got one heck of a deal (minus the weight of the vials obviously) but still !!!!  Granted the gold leaf is real which it appears to be from my feeble knowledge of the element.

Here you go. The tubes weigh 3 grams each.

With single squeeze hubbing, Class 9 is one of the few types remaining. 

I couldn't agree more.

Even got two vials of gold flake. I know nothing about that.

Pics of these is you have time please........

@Mr.Bill347 you're killing me with the 1983 Proof Set...... I need to find one myself as that year has a lot of sentimental value to me.  Nice pickups all the way around!

That’s some fancy shootin’ there Tex. I just can’t bring myself to examine stuff that new that closely.

Thank you VKurtB. I do not pay much attention at all to the Linc Shields when I am CRH'ing. Quite frankly I hate them.  But this thing was so distorted it stood out like a sore thumb to me with just my readers on and no other magnification.  Thought I'd post it just to show a good example of what a completely distorted Class 9 looks like.

[Unsolicited editorial comment...

What you refer to as a 2020-S is actually a 2020-(S). 

I know. I know. But when you receive it and look at the label, that is what's going to be on it.  Probably one of the few instances in numismatic history when the use of parentheses have never been more important and collectors will buy a coin strictly for the label.]   🐓 

Ok, Ok…. Yes….. you got me on this one QA…. I had a dream last night (or was it a nightmare) about this same issue and that Quintus Arius himself would politely correct my incompetence regarding this typographical error or should I say, “A lack thereof”? The S should have definitely been in parentheses! No questions asked or disagreement imposed. I knew this when I posted but failed to do so. Good catch QA!!

Nice.

Thank you RWB!

I really like your photo setup @Lem E.  Maybe one day I'll have a nice setup like this and not have to use my cruddy cell phone......

Pretty thick W in WE.

A beautiful 36' Wheatie there Lem E! You made me have to look into this one and your comment about the W in WE.  I may be mistaken but all the photograde pics of this year and mint I looked at, as well as coppercoins.com, seem to have the same looking style of W, just the way it was designed I suppose.  It looks like the lower bottom 'right point' of the W does extend further down than the left lower point (for a lack of better words) which appears consistent for this year from what I just researched.  Still a nice Cent!

Don't know why (impulse buy I suppose) but I just ordered a 2020-S $1 Silver Eagle PCGS MS70, one of the emergency issues minted in San Fran.  I think since buying my first ever slabbed coin, a 2000 $1 ASE a month or so ago, and then a few Morgans I shared previously, I have turned into a silver "coinoisseur"  (you get it?? coin-oisseur....ok... I hear the gong on that one) but I will NEVER leave my beloved Linc's behind!!!!!! Just another chapter in my life I suppose.  I know they are bullion coins but hey, I'm loving these silver coins and I really think they are quite beautiful.

I would have said from the photos it was full bands. I guess the center band has something preventing it?

I too would like to know what kept this one from a FB designation....... I'm seeing (with readers on) what appears to be three completely intact and distinct

bands.

The nickel is thin as if it was small and pressed outward. If it got caught or was severed by an encasement of some kind the nickel throughout would be regular thickness at best wouldn’t it?

Welcome to the forum @kellyt.  If the coin was encased, in this instance meaning pressed and placed inside a surrounding metallic object which would turn it into a token, I don't believe the edge of the inserted coin would expand or 'thin' the metal.  My assumption would be just the opposite in that, if anything, the reeding on the edge of the coin would suffer noticeable damage as it is forcefully placed into its surrounding object. This doesn't seem to be the case with your coin best I can tell from your last picture of the edge of your coin, compared to the other Half, where the reeding on your coin looks to be ok.

What is bazel or encasement damage?

As I theorized above regarding encasement damage, I believe the opposite would hold true for a coin being placed into a bezel.  A bezel would be a ring of sorts as shown by @Just Bob in his nice pics of the Barber he posted earlier.  I this instance, yes.... there could possibly be a noticeable amount of damage in the form of a flattened/ thinned outer perimeter of the coin as the bezel ring is 'squeezed' tightly around the coin in order to hold it securely to be used as a trinket, necklace, etc.... 

I definitely think your coin was worthy of sending in to be analyzed by NGC. We don't say or recommend this very much around here solely for the fact that we simply don't want forum members to waste their money for something we truly know they don't have.  I too hope it comes back slabbed as a mint error.  Please keep us all informed.  Very interesting coin you have here!
