  1. If I were to speculate your 1909 S Lincoln Cent is worth maybe $10.00 at most thus it's not worth incurring the grading fees. You should only submit raw coins that have a value of $400.00+ for grading as the coin's value would be more than enough to cover all the grading fees plus you'll make a nice profit when you decide to sell your coin. For future reference please post this type of question in the "Newbie coin collecting" part of the forum as this part of the forum is to either purchase, sell or trade coins only.
  2. This coin is not worth grading. Only submit coins that have a raw price guide value of at least $350.00 - $400.00 which covers all the grading fees plus a profit for you when you decide to sell the coin.
  3. I like the 1885 Morgan Dollar the most but at the end of the day it's your decision to make not mine.
  4. I wouldn't submit any of the coins pictured. When submitting coins only submit coins that have a raw price guide value of at least $350.00 - $400.00 which covers all of the grading fees plus you should be able to make a profit when you decide to sell your coins.
  5. If you zoom in you'll barely see a trace of a "2" as the last digit of the date.
  6. The last digit in the date looks like a filed down 2 to me which means you have a 1972 D Lincoln cent in my opinion and not any kind or type of mint error. The coin is only worth it's face value of one cent.
  7. Yup and those regulations would be next to impossible to enforce.
  8. At the rate sellers on eBay and ect are trying to sell non error coins and claiming they are maybe one of us ought to to a thread about it similar to the one that Just Bob did about known sellers of counterfeit coins.
  9. These days collectors should just buy pre certified coins due to the number of counterfeits and the rising cost of grading.
  10. I would never ever buy a coin from any seller that doesn't have at least 4,000 feedback with near 100 percent positive feedback. The seller ID'd in this thread is clearly a scam artist looking for victims.
  11. I told you the truth about your coin. If you're going to be overly sensitive when someone tells you the truth about your coins then perhaps you don't need to be here as some of our other members are even more scarcastic than I am. Have a nice day.
  12. As usual whenever a user claims something isn't PMD it is PMD nothing more. I wonder if we'll be seeing this coin on eBay or Etsy anytime in the near future with the seller claiming it to be a very rare mint error.
  13. I'd have to say that the coin pictured is circulated. Proof refers to a method of manufacturing of the coin such as using special polishes and dies to bring out the full artistic look of the coin. For those reasons proof coins are not meant for circulation.
  14. There's no exact weight when it comes to NGC slabs due to their manufacturing and sonic sealing process. If you already know the weight of your coin then subtract the weight of the coin from the overall weight after the coin has been slabbed to figure out the weight of the NGC slab. Hope this helps.
  15. To me it looks like a normal circulated 1963 Jefferson nickel not a DDR.
  16. Every coin that is circulated absolutely MUST be a mint error. Welcome to the world of social media with scammers alleging to be "Experts" and dispersing completely false information while looking for victims I mean future customers.
  17. The lady in the red jacket looks like she's having F.U.N
  18. How about the impact of social media and the adverse effects it has on the hobby as a whole?
  19. You're better off just giving up as the user you are trying to educate is closed minded.
  20. Here's an ungraded half troy ounce Cook Islands $2.00 American Double Eagle. There are no scratches on the coin itself and it's proof struck. If I were to get it graded (which I'm not going to do) I think it would grade NGC PF 69 or PF 70.
