    JKK got a reaction from CHunUSMC in State Quarters Program - grading recommendation?   
    Kurt told you what I would have. Here's the main trouble: what looks pristine to those who are not used to looking at a lot of coins, all protected inside the mint packaging, usually isn't as perfect as the novice thinks (which is natural, and nothing to fault you or anyone else for).
    My grading guide doesn't have state quarter specifics, but here's MS-67's general description:
    Has full original luster and sharp strike for date and mint. May have three or four very small contact marks and one more noticeable but not detracting mark. On comparable coins, one or two small single hairlines may show under magnification, or one or two partially hidden scuff marks or flaws may be present. Eye appeal is exceptional. [left out irrelevant part about copper coins]
    What it says for MS-68:
    Attractive sharp strike and full original luster for the date and mint, with no more than four light scattered contact marks or flaws. No hairlines or scuff marks show. Exceptional eye appeal. [same caveat]
    So what you are looking for, in football terms, are fouls so ticky-tack that the replay refs spend ten minutes reviewing, then usually decide there isn't indisputable video evidence. Even professional graders do not find this easy. So yeah, keep and protect them; don't let the plastic-sealed packages bang into one another. But you'd be unlikely to break even, let along profit.

    JKK got a reaction from kbbpll in 1955 is this rare ddo   
    Here's how you learn: your best method is to search for a real example and compare your coin. Take a look at this link. Notice that the doubling on the date, motto, and legend are so major that there's air between the images. If you do not find any images of a doubled die for a given issue, that's a fair tell that there are none known.
    In that situation, one of two things is true. Either (99.9999% likely) you have not discovered a new one and your coin has mechanical doubling of some sort, or (0.0001% likely) you have, all these years later, discovered a doubled die that somehow over many decades, no one ever spotted despite armies of well-equipped cherrypickers looking at millions of examples.
    I'd go with the 99+%, myself.
    I wrote this mainly to encourage some of our regular novices (you know who you are) to stop and go searching for the real thing before asking. It's not that we mind people asking, but it's not especially fun always raining on people's parades. Sometimes we get less patient. If so, it's because--to use a metaphor--after the first several hundred times, we get a little fatigued of looking at losing lottery tickets where the person presenting it thinks they're winners, and we have to tell them nope.

    JKK got a reaction from RonnieR131 in Enlighten Me Plz!!   
    Okay. The closest match I can find for the brass one is intriguing: Kwangtung (Guangdong, once Canton; surrounding Hong Kong and Macao for those seeking to advance geographic understanding)ย Province, 10 cash, pattern coin c.1888, KM# Pn2. The labyrinth reverse kinds of stands out, which is a big help in Chinese coinage when there are something like a dozen provinces all with similar coinage and subtle differences. While the price guide says $3250, don't start making big plans for the money, as there are many steps that are likely to lead to you getting about 10-20% of that (wild guess). Assuming it certifies as authentic (I don't know which grading companies would do that, but this is a good place to start asking), then you'd have to get it where the people who collect these things can find and buy it. That probably means an auction house. Then you hope its collectors happen to be following the auction. I can't advise you very well on this.
    The tael, if such it is, is a little tougher. I suspect it could possibly also be a pattern coin, since nothing quite like it shows up for Zhejiang (east coast; used to include what was then called Hangchow, if you're following along geographically). If authentic (looks possible, but that's a big if), it'll take a much more learned Chinese imperial coin student than me to attribute. I didn't find it in Krause or Numista. The weight is at least credible for the denomination. It could be anything from a contemporary fake to a rare pattern. I don't know how to find out more.

    JKK got a reaction from KarenHolcomb in How to ID misprints from wear and tear damage   
    Let's adjust that to distinguishing between damage and mint errors; and of mint errors, which are valuable and which are just detractors.
    To progress on this, first you need to learn how hubs are created, dies are made, and coins are struck. The more you understand about that process, the more will become clear to you.

    look they talk about the plaster the damaged but let's not forget when it's come from the MINT itself .it already have a special coating that give it to shine so when It start slowly deteriorating what happens to it becomes the plaster

    Since you put that way! 412 AD .the numbers and letters are which are placed an order to form the images to t the area of the field of the coin .that what gives it creation .so I'm learning right here .in other words! That right there tell you the coin already damaged,so by the Mint adding and buffing as you say well a nother coin has been restored .so by already markings from all coins before it becomes the date that it is nowย
