    The small depression is likely a "strikethrough" of a small piece of foreign matter on the die or planchet.  It is a very minor and frequently seen anomaly and does not make the coin worth a premium, especially when it is this small.

if I sent this in to get graded would that spot make a difference? I am not worried about a error…I want a high grade.

please someone tell me that little dent in the circle is a error.. Would something like this give this Penny a worse grade? Or no?

Just wanting to know on submission sheet does a nickel with 5 or 6 stairs have to be marked a certain way?Also if a coin is toning do I have to put something on submission?

Possibly, but when evaluating coins with this much circulation wear it is almost impossible to distinguish between circulation wear/damage and any minor striking anomalies like a worn die.

So my dad gave me his Penny coin collection books from when he was a kid..i am looking threw them to see what I find ..will be posting more as I look threw..thanks. 

Just wondering if it is caused from dye deterioration..because the thick Liberty letters? Thanks

I wanted to get the opinions from the people collecting coins for a while on this subject. 
I look this subject up on the internet and since I can remember they have always said we are. Tell me your thoughts on this please .

Can you tell me if this is a error or is this rubbed off?  or if someone rubbed this off? Thanks

There are no mintmark varieties of interest to collectors of the 1976-D 25C and only DDO's would be attributed by NGC.

Likely just the result of some common die chips on a circulated coin that have no collector value, and are simply curiosity finds for roll hunters.

Thanks so much for the links✊🏻

The photos are a somewhat blurry and a little washed out by light, but from what I can tell from them is you have a well circulated and partially environmentally damaged Bicentennial quarter. On a coin in this condition, a mintmark that took a hit and then got worn down well can look like a filled mintmark. Even if a die chip or overpolishing of the die causing a mintmark to be filled on a prime uncirculated coin adds no premium and is not an error.

As for the "beak", between wear, hits, and environmental damage (and possibly even an added die chip in the mix), there is what I would call an "anomaly" in that spot. Not an error nor would it be certified by a TPG as such. Please do not fall into the deep dark hole of pareidolia that some of the people on here have. Mostly there is a reasonable rational explanation for everything found on the surface of a coin.

So over polishing coins can lead to a filled D?  I understand that this is nothing to grade ..trying to learn.

this quarter has far too much circulation damage and wear and tear to be of any numismatic value.   I am guessing that you saw some you tube video that told you to look for filled mintmarks, you can stop doing that.   There is nothing in the least bit of numismatic value or interest in filled mintmarks, utter rubbish. 

That may sound harsh and I'm not trying to be, but there is nothing to learn from super common coins like this in such poor condition.   Absolutely no one can say with any degree of certainty if what you see on this coin is the result of production or circulation.   Common modern coins in this condition are only good for spending, not for studying or learning.

I would never send in in something like this..I was just curious that’s all. 

This looks like the D is filled ..I may be wrong? But the back if you look at his face his nose looks like a beak. Is that an error? Tell me whatcha think. What causes the his nose to look like that?

Hello @Erin33, Thank you for contacting us. You’ll need to have a general idea of the value of each coin to help select which grading “tier” or category to submit the coin under. Grading tiers and fees can be found at Services and Fees | Coin Submissions | NGC (ngccoin.com). The value we ask you for is an insurance value, a number you would feel comfortable with in terms of a replacement value if your coin was lost or damaged while with us. We encourage you to be conservative as we do not reimburse you if you over-value your coin. If your coin was grossly under-valued, we reserve the right to bump it to the appropriate tier.  Kindly note that NGC does not buy, sell, or value coins. Good resources for determining the value of your coins are completed eBay auctions and the posted prices by large coin dealers.

As for your question about errors, we will only designate a coin with a mint error if it is specially requested via the "Mint Error" service. If this service is not requested, we will grade the coins normally and will not include details of the mint error itself.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!

So what option do I choose in the screen shot I shared in the first post..if I just want it graded and in a holder only. I do not see that option. Or maybe what I want isn’t an option and I pick no service? this is why I am asking. Thanks

The coins I am submitting have no errors that I am aware of. If you guys find something I didn’t see then what? 
 

what teir do I choose for just the grade and NGC label/case? I am sending in West Point coins that need to be graded and in capsules. Ware  do I choose just to grade? Or maybe I don’t need any services here? This is my first time submitting. GSA will get it graded and in holder..that’s what I need right?

thanks!

Yes, somebody started a low ball thread awhile back that got me interested in them. I am working on a Seated Liberty Quarter P01 set. The P01 coins can be quite pricey and I haven't seen them at auction yet, but selling on eBay.

Hi sorry for the late reply..I just found the coin it’s never been submitted..but I would like to submit it hun. Thanks for asking though.

I figured it out just thought I would share a picture of the penny anyway..thanks everyone 

Would this be a die scratch or is there something behind those numbers? What do you guys think this looks like? The lines in between or behind the numbers are raised.

There is a huge difference in prices..so how do I know witch one I have? It’s  buisness strike but witch one? What is DP STAND for? Deep proof right . If I make any mistakes on submissions for do u guys fix it or send the coins back?b

 why don’t I see any prices for the reverse proof? 

This 1941 mercury dime would grade as full bands right? What do you think?

Erin33 or Peralta33 on the PCGS forum

Why are you asking on another forum if the coin is real?  
Nobody on this site has said that it is not genuine, even if it is plated,
it is still a genuine 1943 cent.

My my my aren’t u a busybody….I really don’t need to explain my self.. a person with common sense would know why.

Erin,  You may want to spend some time reading into many of the links offered in the Basic Resources & Glossary.  Regarding aspects of a coin that may look like an "error", check this website out: https://www.error-ref.com/part_xi_-_non_errors/    It will help you to adjust your visual queues when inspecting coins.  All of the links provided in that chat forum, are quite helpful, I refer to them quite often. 

 

Had no idea this existed..thanks.

It has been struck by something. PMD

In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.

Those aren’t screen shots..lol

So I did find this and that looks like same color as mine. According to this article if I am reading correctly ..there is a off metal transitional error. Or am I reading wrong..

Is this a error? Probably not but I gotta ask. What causes something like this ?

thanks!
