I found another batch of Home Rolls. We shall see what we get this time.

If you send it to PCGS the rim ding may slip under the holder tab. It is a chancy purchase as is.

I will be sending my 2024 silver eagle to get graded. .its a beautiful error..bottom rim or collar is flat from.her foot to almost the sun ..and the finish looks satin ...

It would be nice to see both sides of your coin if you want some opinions. 

That is a shame, I do not think there is much you can do for it. I have a set of ASE's and a few I had to rinse off with hot water to remove dust particles before putting them in airtight holders and it worked fine. It may work on your coin as a last resort, but I would not want to chance water spots on a proof coin. I would just live with it.

You must be going through nickel rolls like crazy.  The girls at the bank probably see you comming and have a handful of them out before you even get to the counter.  

Yes and they tried to give me 14 Ike's, but she showed me a hand full and the ones she had were all pvc green spots. I said I will pass on that batch.

Interesting. This is not as prominent as those reverse ones, but still interesting to see amounts of these localized in one area. Wondering if any have made it to other parts of the country and also how many are out there. I am going to have to start taking a good look at the 23 nickels.

Yes powermad ,the one with the large die gouge is a more obvious one it does go from rim to rim it is very hard to see in the center. I finished my little coin search of the die gouge coins2023 P. In 24 rolls it averaged out around 10 to 13 out of the 40 coins I looked at that had the obverse small gouge or the large reverse gouge.

Just some useless information for you all. On the coins with the small gouge on the G in GOD it had a lot of die markers on both sides. Including gouge under nose, on chin and neck, die chip on nose, chin also large chip on the side of Monticello and roof, and a die scratch in the main door of Monticello. It is basically a mess Sorry, that is all I could find on that coin ..LoL

if someone could help me take down this post it would be awesome..... il keep my stupid questions to myself.. thanks  

No questions are stupid it is how we learn. I have been around a long time, and I find new information every day because someone asked a question. 

That is not a good-looking coin at all. I have found better looking proofs in pocket change.

I agree, it is a worn-out nickel.

JPM keeps that one for when he has to flip his wife for who takes out the garbage.    

She always wins

Mint mark is a mark on a coin from the mint.

We may have to decipher the code.  Was the mint mark on the coin from peppermint or spearmint? I would think the spearmint would leave a mark being a spear and all.

Yes I bought a bunch of these1980 and 79//81 type 1 and 2 for five bucks a piece a few years back. Most of them are nice. There are a few fogged ones that I just bought anyway, maybe they will tone nicely LoL 

Just out of curiosity I picked up ten rolls from another bank. I did not find any more of the die scratched coins. I returned those and went back to the first bank where I found them and picked up another fifteen samples of both obvers and reverse scratches. So now I have a full roll of sample coins. Not that it is a big collectable just neat that I happen to find it so I will just put them in the scrap box labeled as die scratched 2023. There must be a bunch more out there if I can find forty at one bank, I am sure others can also.   

Yes, HC this is a 6-step coin. but in the NGC registry all PCGS coins are considered 5 step coins.

Since it's significantly under weight it may be 1/2 of a modern magicians coin, with the obverse milled out to insert a milled obverse from another coin.  Still just damage though.

It amazes me how people spend the time to do stuff like this. Heads on both sides

I was working on building a new Whitman coin folder and I see the 1943 D may be a hard one to find. LoL

The new pics do show more of a granular surface indicative of an acid, but what about the coin edge with the reeding intact.  Particularly since the copper core is more reactive to acid, which often results in an "oreo cookie" like appearance from one of my previous posts which isn't present.

It looks to me Eagle the reeding has dissolved a bit also I think this coin is going to show a weight difference when it is all said and done.

Much better. Now you can see the grain of the coin looks like an acid bath of some kind.

I get all of the modern dollar coin strikes and didn't go full bore on the annual proof mint sets like you did.  I think the proof ASEs would be the only set I really have that is just proofs.  But I canceled my mint subscription for those coins due to the quality tanking.  Oh well, so much for that one.

I assume that's an average price per set, as if I remember correctly you didn't buy them all together.  Some are like few bucks at a thrift store and some of the older ones or more recent extensive ones are a lot more.  The intercept boxes were probably more than most of the individual sets.   

But good plan to keep them in the OGP cases.  I can't count the number of times I have heard people talk about issues with mint sets, and it turns out they broke the sets up and took them out of the cases.

What happened to cropping photos.   

I would have cropped it, if it was a new shot but it was an old file picture, and it uploaded the way it was.

My guess is damage from something grabbing the coin edge.  I don't see any fishtailing with detail fadeout progressing towards the edge or a rounded tapering of the  rim.  I also don’t see indications of the Blakesley Effect, but they are not full coin pics.  Really slacking on the coin pics today JP.   

Ya it is a quite cold rainy day.

And three 1997 P

Die cracks are fun also.  Three different 1994 P

All different coins?  Possible clash from the "We" that started it, which is hard to envision?  And is that just a straight chip in the archway.

Yes all different coins, you can see some have bag marks that do not match up.

I recall seeing the progression of the coins with the same die crack, if you are talking about the series of coin pics you previously posted, which was interesting.  If you happen to find coins with a progression going from the die clash to various stages of chipped dies I would find that interesting to take a look at.

I opened up that roll of 2020 P to try to give you some die stages.
