Welcome,It looks like you got a nice collection of folders. There may be some nice coins but you should do some research before you take any coins out of the holes, Good luck on your numismatic adventure.

Sandons 1942 S is a wonderful die crack. This 1994 P I found a few years ago. You can see the raised metal on the surface it is not a grove, This coin is referenced as a Double Spike head. Most of the coins you find in change will not command a high price. They are fun to find and save and that is what coin collecting is about.

Sorry to say it looks like a scratch and not a die crack. I see a grove not raised metal.

I hear that, I have been on the hunt for a 93 and 95 for a long time but the price never comes down it only goes up. I did find a 1894 that was in my price range.

I agree but I have seen many a MS coin that looks like it should be graded much lower. Also, many a MS that should be higher than it is but that would increase the value by hundreds and that have to be guaranteed by the TPG company. I think the marketing factor plays a larger part in the grading of coins much more than it used to. Money,Money,Money, why else would there be so many different labels for the same coin struck in the same place.

what would this be called?
Welcome, It looks like a damaged coin. It does not look like any type of mint error.

@J P M Looks like your diagnosis was either stricken from the record by Moderation, or you've reconsidered your reply. 🤣
This much we know: QA stands for Quintus Arrius. He collected (past tense) French 20-francs Gold Roosters 🐓 . He became a member five years ago [and has since been dis-membered.] 🤣
My take is, rather than be quoted for attribution, he utilizes the Rooster, which he calls Ricky, as a medium or tool by which he can impart his thoughts and observations, freely. Nothing more complicated than that.
Yes I took it out I figured you would answer your own question.

It is a good looking coin, Guessing a grade from pictures is always tough but I would give it a MS65

Did you see the other pic I added. There is a limit on what you upload.
Welcome, Sorry to say, It looks like your nickel took a good hit on that area and it is making it look like a double chin. Even if you had something going on with this coin it would not matter because it is to damaged to be worth more than face value.

I for one will help whenever I can if posable. This is the newbie forum this is what it is about. Yes, sometimes it is the same old question but not always the same person asking that question. The information we give out is key to keeping the internet misinformation at bay.

By the 1880s the Mint Bureau had received so many inquiries about the quantity of 1804 dollars that the Superintendent in Philadelphia had a special search of mint records for 1804 coinage. This was performed H. W. Crotzer, Chief of the Post Office Building Watch. The records were stored in the Philadelphia PO Building.
Wow just look at the penmanship of this letter. I like it more than the information.

I have found the new Great collection photos are much better than the TPG photos. I will say it is a MS 66

Hello again Blackmon. I wanted to say a reflective coin can look like it has doubled devices. Also, if you are using a USB scope with multiple LED lights it will cause the same effect only larger.
-
It was commented on, this is a double post Henri. You even made a comment. Pay attention there will be a test at the end of the week.

I can't see a difference in PA vs. AL. If you were talking Alaska vs. Arizona, maybe.
I can see a difference PA can be humid in the summer, but Bama is humid most of the time.

Hello again Blackmon0803. I have to ask if you are using a USB scope with many LED lights. If so, it will give the impression of doubling on almost any reflective coin.

It is always best to make a new thread. But to answer your question on the coin it is what we call a grease filled strike. It may have some clash marks but this coin has many grease strike markings.

Okay are they pretty common I'm still getting the hang of this and learning I've got so many coins to go through it's ridiculous but I love it
Sorry to say they are destructive to the coin and very common.

Welcome, it looks like plating blisters on the coin, not die chips

Your nickel has gone past its prime, even if it was a variety at one time it is not posable to see any more.
I hope this reply did not offend you ? I still do not see anything like doubling on the 1953S other than worn out devices most of the time they get larger from being used and banged round. . The 64 is nice.
Any idea on possible grade? Thanks

I agree with Sandon, I shop for 50 cent commemoratives a lot and these two look a bit off. You are safer with a graded example especially with this year and design.
