This 2000 WAM was in a roll today. It is not in the best of shape but finding one is not an easy task after 24 years.

Wow that is great.

Is there a question about this coin? It looks like a reproduction.

Nice crack they are fun to find, I have a tin I keep stuff like this in. Looks like you got your rolls fresh off the line. That area looks to be a common spot for a crack. Here is a 2020 that I found. You may want to check with Cuds on Coins if you have a larger crack with progressive shots. They may posy your find.

I was just looking at it on the bay and it does look very nice. If it is a fake, it is a real nice one.

Would really need to have the size. It looks like a blank of some sort.

It could be a knockout from a metal electrical box,

The 58 is just damage but it is a large star. 57 + 58  have a large star near the date

The OP must not ever get to the east coast, I’m thinking. There, finding cents WITH a mint mark is unusual. 

That is a big 10-4

Yes we have many 1982 D large date coins like yours here. The Small date is the one you will not find here.

Thank you all for your quick and somewhat knowledgeable responses. I am new to possessing graded coins and I just wanted to have a better understanding about how it is done. I couldn't imagine that it is such a subjective and secretive process with no opportunity to review the grading criteria, question the results or submit a rebuttal. Its just my nature that when I pay for something I like to understand and get a full explanation of what I paid for. Stupid me!

After spending some time looking at coins and feeding your brain with information you may be able to grade your own coins and save a buck.

I get a notice from the ANA when the auctions are live and they have them starting the third Thursday of every month on ebay, I think the bidding is open for seven days. The lots can be pretty underwhelming a lot of the time but this time they had some more interesting things, well, to me anyway. Also, if you're the winning bidder and are a member of the ANA you receive a 20% discount on the winning bid if remember correctly, and they combine shipping.

I did see that advertisement but did not find anything for my budget.

That was a quick fix,   Thank you Ali.

Well, it did not take long before Ali sent me an e-mail. That was quick, they are working on the issue.

   When the registry has placed a coin in the wrong slot, open the page for the individual coin, click the link in blue that says, "Wrong Coin/Grade?", and follow the steps until you have indicated the correct slot for the coin.  This should enable the NGC staff to correct the problem.

Yes, I did try that Sandon, All the coins are correct just they are proofs and in the wrong slots, it does not give the option of move them that I can see. I tried to remove them, but it wants me to mark it as sold in my collection manager which I do not want to do. I will have to jump over to that site and see if there is an option.

That is awesome brother. Congrats. I see that the 2024 slot is being filled with the 2022. I saw that on other sets as well. Must be a glitch. 

Yes, the last four coins are in the wrong slots, and they are proofs so maybe that is what is messing with it? I posted the issue on the NGC registry forum.  

Hello, I just created a new set for my 38 to Date nickels. The last four coins in the set are not in their correct slots. I am not sure why this happened, it may be because they are proofs. I tried to remove them, but it wanted me to mark the coins as sold which I do not want to do. I wanted you to be aware of the issue. Thanks JP.

PMD a strike through will not dent the surface on the opposite side of the coin

After having a little more of my own investigation, I noticed that there is but just a couple of die malformations with both the Indian Head and the Buffalo. Coins in this time apparently could only be struck so well and it causes there to be mere images of what should actually appear on a Buffalo Nickel. So I wanna say now it might be an MS 67. Maybe. What do you think?

I am no nickel expert. I can say that your coin is nice but looks more like EF to AU than MS.

There too, huh?

It's everywhere, I like helping the new members but there being told junk by the internet. Finding truth on the internet is almost as bad as in politics.

Ok Green2 Here is what you are looking for. See if yours is a match.

It looks like environmental damage has tarnished the copper. If you look at copper lanterns and roofs, they all turn that color after a while.
