    Doesn't look PL from the pics but I'm thinking MS66.
  2. bsshog40
    Yep, looks like a nickel to me too! With a stain running down the middle!
  3. bsshog40
    It looks more like haze to me. Haze is pretty hard to try to remove if it is. May do more damage than good.

    Edited. Hand punching stopped in 1989.
  5. bsshog40
    uh oh, no silver.
  6. bsshog40
    Those are panama coins. I can only see the date for one as 1966. I think these are 90% silver. Might wait for someone else to chime in though.

    Scratches on the steps so no FS. The coin looks about XF to me.

    It's hard to prevent scammers from trying. The best I can suggest is to limit your buyers to people with at least 100 feedback! Also, when there is a bid, check out what feedback they have already for red flags.

    That closeup looks like a good chance it is reprocessed or plated to me now.
  10. bsshog40
    Pics aren't very clear but I don't think it's a reprocessed cent either. Still as Mr.Bill347 noted, these are cheap already slabbed. I wouldn't waste the money unless the coin means something more to you.
  11. bsshog40
    Are you asking if the cut in the face is worth something? It's a scratch and is considered damage. 1C
  12. bsshog40
    You need to try and get a more focused picture. From what I'm seeing, I agree with hoghead that it looks like some kind of junk on it.
  13. bsshog40
    It does look like a small clip. Not really much value but a very cool find though!
  14. bsshog40
    Not sure. Looks like just some moved metal thru damage. Looks like a possible hit off the B.
  15. bsshog40
    Looks like damage.
  16. bsshog40
    Looks like a possible die chip. Cool but not really valuable.

    If the coins were colored by a third party, the TPG's will not grade altered coins. It is considered a damaged/altered coin.
  18. bsshog40
    It's not a grade at all. But if the coin was submitted, then I don't see why the request would not be made by NGC. The coin has damage which in a polite term is Details. Plus it is a genuine cent so my guess would be it would holder as Details-Genuine.
  19. bsshog40
    Details-Genuine

    Looks like someone was going to attempt their skills towards a hobo coin and gave up pretty fast. Lol
  21. bsshog40
    Depends on what it's plated with.
  22. bsshog40
    1964 and earlier are silver. Half dollars are 40% silver from 1965-1970. Jefferson nickels between the years of 1942-1945 are 30% silver.
  23. bsshog40
    Cleaning is a No No. Some coins can be conserved. Going by some of your recent posts, I believe you are pretty new to coins, so I would advise you to not attempt either method.
  24. bsshog40
    One way that is inexpensive. If you are looking at a coin that you are unsure of, copy the pictures and post them here with your question/questions.
  25. bsshog40
    The coin looks plated to me.
