I am truly amazed that coin roll hunting bears any fruit at all even today.

My son and I have been roll hunting for about three months now and all we’ve found is a 2019 W Massachusetts quarter 😂

If it had a D (Denver mint) you would be all set. There were not supposed to be any copper small dates manufactured in Denver in 82. Yours was from Philadelphia. 

Got it! Thank you for your help!

Welcome to the forum. There are 7 varieties possible for the 1982 cent. The rarity is the 1982 D small date in copper. 
 

1. 1982 "Large Date" bronze;
2. 1982 "Small Date" bronze;
3. 1982 "Large Date" zinc;
4. 1982 "Small Date: zinc;
5. 1982-D "Large Date" bronze;
6. 1982-D "Large Date" zinc;
7. 1982-D "Small Date" zinc.

 

if you are curious how to tell the difference in copper/bronze or zinc, you can weigh them. Copper should come in at 3.11 grams and zinc 2.5 grams. 

I weighed it and it is 3.11

The edge doesn’t have the ridges either.

The coin is just worn out. It’s wouldn’t be worth the cost of grading. It is only worth 10 cents

Thank you!

I’ve been reading about small date pennies. I’ve noticed that many of the small date pennies are 1982 D copper pennies. Is this 1982 no mint mark small date penny worth having certified? Sorry the picture is not very clear.

My son and I found a dime that is not fully stamped? Sorry, I don’t know the terminology yet... is this coin worth being graded?

Is this an error worth having evaluated? It looks like a die crack over the 2015.

Thank you! Good to know!

Is it unusual to find a shiny 1972 quarter? 

Sorry if I don’t know the correct terms, but is this doubling? Or off-center? Or both?

Please start a new posting for each coin. It only causes confusion when there is more than one coin on a post.

Also to answer your question, both sides of the coin will have to be shown. ( This should be done in all cases)

Thank you for your time and responses. I’m going to assume that if it’s an off-center strike, it should be off-center on the front and back.

So is off center where the rim is not showing at all, or one side of the quarters’ rim is smaller than the other? 

Is the edge of this quarter what they call doubling? It has a double ring on one side?

Thank you!

After reading through a string of interesting posts about what to say and not to say, I hope I’m not offending anyone in asking! I am completely new to all of this and would hate to offend the wrong person. My son and I have picked up the hobby of going through coins as a way for us to bond. He is 13 and I am constantly looking for things for him and I to do together. The other night we found this 1969 quarter with a chunk out of it. There are ridges where the chunk is missing. I hope I’m calling them right! Ruffles? Ridges? Lines? Sorry for my ignorance. There are three images below. We look forward to hearing from anyone who knows anything about these kinds of coins and if we’ve found anything worth sending in!

It is flush and there are three more spots on it like this one. All very shiny, but smooth.

So it isn’t anything special?

This is not an extra leaf question. Instead, I have found it looks like to be a shadow of the corn cob itself. Has anyone seen this before?
