(System Of A) DOWN with "da MAN"!

Hey Captain Murder, where is Sargent Slaughter?

The coin is from my fathers' collection and he is selling his stuff off. I doubt he would have any preference for a coin he probably got in change/roll. As far as getting it graded... Does the the coin look cleaned? Would the rot make it "environmental/details"? Which grading company will attribute it is "Far 2" And finally. . . what would you all imagine the best grade it would get? PS: If I go the graded route, I will then have to ask a ton of other questions

That is awesome! It looks like a VF level grade, I don't think it has enough detail for EF. Would it be worth grading?

I seem to have a depth-perception problem. I was running through some foreign coins and found this 1932 5iver. I copied the description graphic below from the Saskatoon Coin Club. Any thoughts?

Higher quality pics:

All 7,300 nickels have been separated by year/decade. As I sorted I picked various coins of note. Here are a few of the fun ones: Off Center, not by much, but I like it - Nice divisional crack-addict - Cracked Skull - Face Cracker - Prominent Lamentation of Lamination - Overkill with filled mint mart with a cherry on top - This last one seems more like damage to me. Hopefully I am wrong, but in reality it seems more like damage to me -

LOL, Cheer up buckaroo! You;ll get the prize! Ya just gotta keep diggin'!

LOL

no new subjects all tapped out

start with a pic of the "coin" on a scale at 3.1. That might earn a cool half a point.

It seems that you post coins on this forum and consider them to be some kind of error. After multiple people tell you that you are mistaken, you dig your heels in further. There is no point in you wasting any more time trying to convince anyone that what you have found is legitimate. Maybe we just aren't cool enough for you. Maybe you should spread your "message" elsewhere. Maybe there are cool people out there for you to dazzle your bling.

Good luck with your numismatic endeavors. It seems your knowledge and expertise have surpassed the paltry extent of the members on this forum. Hopefully you will bestow upon us some of your vast knowledge. Please do be sure to update us little people with all your submission efforts. I am awaiting with bated breath. Also, include the price of submission with each coin.

A great feature of the resource links i sent is that you get some explanation as to how/why the particular defect occurs. It helps you to focus your search. I have searched over 30,000 cents and found only 20-30 that are valid defects and basically all of them are worthless. I am considering compiling a cheap collection of as many known defects that I can acquire. I will create a "What If. . . " collection of almost, wannabe's, and never-was's. I think it could serve as a great educational tool.

Fortunately, there are people who have diligently collected research data for hundreds of years to chronicle the history of coins from all over the world. 999,999,999 times out of 1 billion times, what anomalous features you see, it will be PMD. The two links below will provide you a guide that will focus you efforts by narrowing out what is clearly PMD. There are great finds that are readily findable in general circulation. I have found dozens myself. I highly recommend you peruse these sights voraciously and I assure you that you will look at coins differently and more critically. Good Luck! NGC "What is a Mint Error?"

The BIE, is a die-chip break that landed between the B and the E, giving a visually of BIE, hence the name. Your coin exhibits no possible similarities. I am afraid no error will, leaving in most cases, the only logical conclusion of PMD (Post Mint Damage). You will see scary things happen to coins. Here is a close-up:

Here is a BIE coin:

Me personally, over the past 3 years, I have had the pleasure of searching and sorting close to 50,000 coins that encompassed over 200 countries and spanned from 1850 to 2010. Sorting that many coins provided me and steady stream of the same ole song throughout every decade for only the past 200 years: degradation and damage. Everything eventually falls apart. During that life, hit sits the fan, which allows strange people to devise every possible way to deface as many coins as possible. Maybe there is a Tik Tok challenge? Inspect every coin you get your hands on, you will learn soon enough how many ways there are to skin a cat...I mean coin.

Somewhere, in the vast universe of time and space, there is a reversed identical quarter from 1966 that was on the other end of that roll and is patiently awaiting to be reunited with its roll-book-end -mate.

I say you post it on ebay and sell it for $5,000. But I would recommend you to consider using the "best offer" option...just in case.

My momma always said: "if at first you don't succeed, then continue to smash coins together until it looks crazy, then and only then will be legitimized by the numismatic board of error definers." true story, i premise. . .

HI, maybe try this site, it seems to be devoted to this coin type. https://www.beastcoins.com/Sasanian/Sasanian.htm

Hi, I think your coin is exhibiting signs of post-mint damage (PMD). It looks like a chisel-like device dug some good gashes into yer nickel. While I cannot say that I am familiar with the "staple error", I think those marks on the nickel would be PMD.
