LOL @ Chris///

Pretty polite haha!!!

 

It's a 1968 Canadian quarter = 50% silver = $1.69 US @ melt = less than that in its current condition

 

You are correct. My apologies for the mistake.

 

You know what's super funny? (But really sad). That you believe the person that verified them as die cracks.

 

Die cracks show up as raised lines on the surface. These are not raised metal. If I can replicate it in my garage, it's not an error. Pay $30 and get them certified by ANACS or ICG and see what they say.

 

Did you buy these coins?
Did you buy these coins from the same person who verified them for you?
Does the person who verified them for you know the person who sold them to you?
If the person who verified them for you is not the same person who sold them to you, did the person who verified them for you, offer to buy them from you?
If not, why not?

Simple questions and the resulting simple answers will help keep you from getting cheated.

 

You mean you can't tell that the parts of that E that fall within the scope of the tool mark aren't ruined?
Because they plainly are.

 

But, but, but......his credentials are impeccable. He graduated from the Helen Keller School of Numismatics. ~ Chris

 

Is that the same school that teaches my favorite class? Human anatomy by the braille system.

 

Well, I know they use braille. They need it for the Crappy Zincolns! ~ Chris

 

You all need to take that stick out of your behind. Because one thing I am not going to do. Is listen to the internet. Next thing you know, You guys are going to tell me this isnt a floating roof penny."Its just damage"

 

The bottom photo looks to be on the edge for a floating roof as there is a snall line connecting it. The top photo looks to be a floating roof. While the initials are very minor they can still be seen. This is just a stage in the Die. It almost looks like 2 different coins.

 

Quite odd that you came to the ‘internet’ to ask a question and then upon being correctly told that the snips in your coins were PMD caused by some type of wire cutting tool, you say that one thing you won’t do is listen to the internet.

 

Do you hear that? Do you hear that? That's the internet talking.

Take it to "your specialist". Maybe he will give you 1-1/2c for it. Then, you can use it for the down payment on a new roof. ~ Chris

 

@bethany tebrow I have to interject here. You have posed your coin related questions among folks that combined have literally hundreds of years of collecting and coin studying experience. There is nothing more that any of us wants than to help a new collector along the rewarding pathway called coin collecting.

See, we typically see two types of new posters. One type is hungry for knowledge and appreciates being set straight on his question...... The other type we see is the person that is the self appointed expert and because they truly want to believe their coin is quite valuable, will argue the true experts endlessly. And they will be met with the hard truth in return. The second type poster is unfortunately what your posts are coming across as.

I assure you that these folks are offering you the truth. We all do want to help you if pursuing this hobby appeals to you. I hope you will recognize that.

 

You're wasting your time Randy! She thinks she's better than all of us. ~ Chris
