It looks like it went for a ride in a dryer.

It looks like it came from a proof set not long ago ,some fine scratches from what I can see there may be a nick on the cheek. I would go with a AU58 maybe even a MS60 if it was in hand sometimes you see more with the eye.

Ya much better than a old washer of a electrical box knock out. I also found a rust Quarter today.. Not worth anything but fun to find anyway..

I found this little guy in a roll of Nickels today .It is the same size and weight as a Jefferson. Kinda of a cool find I will throw it in my world coin bottle .

I was sitting around this morning drinking a coffee reading the NGC threads and thought about that song I started to write joking around with GBrad. So here is. Just for fun I finished it......The Double Die Blues The Double Die Blues by JP Mashoke 7/4/2022 Da Da Da Da Da I been looking at these coins every night and day Trying to find the ones that will pay Most are worn with metal displaced But I keep looking just in case Da Da Da Da Da I got the Double Die Blues Is it these old eyes Seeing double again or is it just a high from the thought of a win Da Da Da DA Da They say I’ll get rich if I find the right one But not very likely I just do it for fun A 55 or a 58 either one would be great But I been looking for years, and it may be too late Da Da Da Da Da I got the Double Die Blues Is it these old eyes Seeing double again or is it just a high from the thought of a win Da Da Da Da Da Now if you ever see me with a smile on my face you will know I found a device out of place I will put it online for all to see And may get it slabbed by NGC

It is so hard to tell on proof coins if it is a double or a reflection. And dimes are notorious for having MD You have to look at the coin on so many different angles. I have seen the doubling disappear in the right light.

It is most likely a MD or Die Deterioration on the lettering hard to see from the picture . I have found no listing for any DDO Sac's and only one for a DDR

I am no expert on this coin just giving you a thought, but I wonder why it has such a dark picture ???. There is a lot of detail on the coin. Most don't show a lot of hair, foot and shield.

Welcome Ray, Always good to hear from another pocket change collector. I only recently started to collect graded coins but still do a lot of roll hunting looking for that odd looking coin to put in my error tray collection. I think you will find what you are looking for here. There are some well informed members here with a few good laughs to keep it fun.

Yes Thomas, Cleaning coins is not recommended if the coin was a collectable coin it would not be after cleaning it.. LoL

I remember the drug store in town had a grill and you could get coffee or a soda for a nickel and a cheeseburger and fries was .75 c so a meal for under a buck. but a new car was under $2000 also......... LoL

I also see it as a hole for a chain or a loop was attached to it at one time. It may have been filled 100 years ago and now it all looks the same. LoL

I do try for FS but there are some year coins that are unobtainable in FS unless you want to spend the farm $$$. Like some of the sixty's coins. I just go for the best looking or strangest I can find in a nice grade. Also the same with a couple of my MS Morgan coins. I have gotten VAM's instead of MS to fill the set at times. Supply and demand make it tough . Silver dropped again today but I don't think anyone has dropped there retail prices on coins in a while.

That is a good observation JT2, you can see the mark much better now.

It is cool looking .

I found another MS62 I know 62 is not that great but I have been finding some decent looking ones. If I can get a good looking Morgan for under $50 for my set in this economy I am happy.

I would not want to touch the coin with anything..... A eraser is like fine emery cloth it will remove the spots ... LoL....and a lot more . The coin is in a holder it would not be wise to do anything but enjoy looking at it.

I am glad you got your money back Patman, Remember if it questionable let it go or at least post it here first if you can.

The larger the coin the more likely it will have some worn areas that are easy to see. It looks like a NGC holder and the grade is consistent with many that I have seen. It is always difficult to buy coins from pictures on-line.

You are a welder. It looks like it got tagged with a welding rod a long time ago. Someone messing around . Just my opinion

The 1954 S DDR I got last week dropped $25 this week according to it's PCGS price guide. All of my Bu ASE's are whatever todays silver market is 21.46 as of 4:30 EST and I know I paid more than that for them ....LoL I buy as low as I can because I am cheap and poor. I will probably never sell a coin unless it is a emergency or one of my very common coins is found to be a rarity. Again not likely.. So I will just keep getting what I like and enjoy them.

Thanks for the comments guys. I think it has been in the ground also and that is what is making it dark. In picture #4 you can see the overall very fine pitting in the field and letters making me think it was in black dirt for a long time. As always nice to be able to post a oddity and get some feedback from others who have been collecting for a while before throwing it back in the wild.

It looks like it was clamped in a pair of vice grips. Post Mint Damage

I was given this in my change tonight and I put it aside until I could get home an get a better look. It could be a High School experiment. It could be environmental damage. It is gunmetal black on both sides even the edge is the same color like some Black Beauty's. I thought I would post it and get some others thoughts. It is not in to bad a shape for a 64 D Like someone my have had it in a PVC holder there is some green on the coin so it is still worth a post in my opinion.

95% of the public did not know the 2000P sac in the cheerios box was a special strike coin. To myself it was a piece of play money. and most moms were in charge of breakfast. I went to work. I am sure most of the coins got spent at the market.
