    Nice work - this one has the doubling and split serifs... all of the diagnostics are there. I have yet to find anything in the wild that is worthy of grading. CONGRATS!

    Welcome and sorry. I agree with the others. This coin was damaged to look like an error. If you know the seller and can get your money back and return the coin, I would recommend you do that.

    Very cool find. Regardless of the details that make this a "details" coin - it is certainly a keeper. Congrats!

    It's a pretty sad state of affairs when a neophyte collector knows exponentially more than the wanna-be shietsty coin dealer. Let me know if you want me to sign your Starter cap, Stan.

    My ignore list is really becoming the who's who of fools. Now if the rest of you would stop quoting them... I would never have to see any of it. Help a brother out!

    @Youngmoola I think it's time for me to make your posts "go grey". This is goodbye. Godspeed, my damage collecting friend.

    This is a very smart approach on the ANA's part IMO.
  26. The Neophyte Numismatist
    In all due respect... The ANA grading standards simply do not matter. The only grading that matters in the market is NGC and PCGS (and possibly CACG). Those three are the market makers. ANA is a good primer, but that's really it. Honestly, I love EAC standards for copper... but, they don't own the market either (outside of the club). However, I would say that if EAC agrees with your commercial grading... you have something VERY PQ.

    This certainly makes me want to hunt for them. Thanks for posting!

    No worries. Never for a second did I think you were legitimately confused. I attribute it to being late and working fast. Just wanted the OP to know you are solid.
  32. The Neophyte Numismatist
    Cool finds. The last one looks to be damage, but I can understand why you would post it.
  33. The Neophyte Numismatist
    Only if you are Christian. Other religions will find no significance in the damage.
  34. The Neophyte Numismatist
    Agree that this is a damaged zinc Lincoln cent. This only correction is that the reverse shows the Lincoln Memorial, not Monticello. @Just Bob is a much better numismatist than I am, so please don't consider this any discount to his ability. He knows his stuff.
  35. The Neophyte Numismatist
    As I suspected... this is a great coin for an album or flip, but the value of the coin is less than the cost of grading. Still - welcome to the boards and the hobby.
