If you want to spend more time collecting coins and learning about them, please buy the latest edition of Whitman's A Guide Book To United States Coins, also known as The Red Book which covers all American coinage to the present. 

I thought that book would be expensive. 

Not to bad, thanks I think I will"

Well, thanks you all for your replies

The weight and shiny color of gold made me think their maybe more to it .

Hi, my name is Gary,

I'm a little nervous about posting, not sure I know what I'm doing.

I have this penny, it's a little pitted and probably cleaned at one time. 

1922 D reverse Die cracks, it weighs 2.99 gr. has more of a yellowish gold color and don't look like other cleaned cent pennies?

I haven't or haven't thought about sending this coin in for grading because its clean and pitted but now,

I'm thinking the alloy mix or planchet maybe of a different coin planchet??

Which may give it some value?

I'm looking for some opinions or suggestions on what a more experienced  collector  would do with this coin?

I like and want to keep it but I also would like to know what I hold,

What do you think of the weight of this coin and color?

Thank for reading this, any thoughts suggestions would be appreciated. 

Hope I did this right"

My comment sounded dumb, no I get it.

Lack of grade below Ms not much value in it.

I may be able to get a closer view,  so deterioration  die dubbing is a negative of value on variety?

Need help!
1950-D  Maybe first   discovery DDO In GOD WE TRUST 
I can not find anything on this quarter, 
What do you think?

Also possible dubbing on reverse, what do you think I'm in need of a more experienced collector. 

Appreciate any opinion or advice. 

Thank you guys very much I see I get it, thanks!

It's more of n appearance of appeal then error .thanks.

Any help is appreciated and constructive criticism of lack of knowledge is appreciated. 

Ok greenstang thanks I'll try to get better pictures. 

I have enquired this 1983-P cent, die crack in head hair but also ,I am curious if this cent has some kind of design error to it.

Need help from a more educated and experienced coin collector .

Not struck through wire. It has a GOUGE on it, between the L and the I in "LIBERTY", nothing more. It will come back Details - Cleaned. You yourself said it was. By the way, it's a 1918-D, or have you, in your misplaced zeal to find error coins, forgotten something that is ACTUALLY important, like mint marks?

Why so serious joker, the question was would this coin come back just labeled cleaned and corroded ignoring the variety..

I ask because I've seen coins label clean but had variety to it, I was wondering if that was because straight grade without asking of its variety.?

Thank you for your experience and long time education in this madder.  

Ok, I see I presented this coin to the treasure hunters looking for the lottery coin.
Here is a coin dead and buried for over a hundred years resurrected with all its wounds.
Finds someone that appreciates its experience and hardship, yes it's not shiny or sparkly it has aged over the years and survived the elements for decades ,
Pierced with a metal rod at birth and lefted for dead.
This coin has art, beauty  and character.
People that like shiny things are shallow.

JUST Kidding, Kind of ...reverse 

Notice the double struck lines on the One

Why is that? Is it not a rarity to have a wire struck through a coin from 1918, not so much for grade but authenticity. 

I have this coin 1918 dime that was probably dug up from the ground and cleaned, I feel it should grade VG,  it also has some variety to it.

1.it has a wire bristle struck through it, can be seen but might be mistaken for dark spot, recognition with magnification. 

(Eyebrow and ear area)

2. Dubbed date

My concern is ,would this coin be just labeled corroded and cleaned with variety ignored ?
