The first photo is upside down because the obstruction on his face seems to be the right wing of the eagle on a quarter. Looking at it through a microscope you can see the wing and body love the eagle. So what do you think you think I got something special I hear there's only been three found since 1860 the last one in 99 if I'm not mistaken score of the penny with 99 I can't remember ? And.
The first photo is upside down because the obstruction on the face I believe to be the right wing of an eagle of a quarter and I have it right side up in the first photo. What do you think do I have something special? If I'm correct is only been three discovered since 1860 the last one may be in 99 or maybe the deer of the coin was in 99 I can't remember
That was my first initial thought as well however looking at it closer it's raised the part in front of his forehead isn't supposed to be raised like as well as coming off the top of his head. If it were post mint damage then and two coins clink together it would have a reverse impression it would be good to the end not raised correct? And I do apologize for the pixelated pictures but until I get my camera back this is all I can do.
Way.. No way It's not a muled coin. Your cent is a normal copper plated zinc cent. No such thing as a 1984 small date. Just a stain. If you want to prove us wrong then send it to a TPG to have it attributed. But you will not receive the answer you are looking for from any of us.
Yeah my fault about posting 323is I do that all the time good call on my post I know they say don't clean your coins but in this case I just had to doing completely wipe job except for some looks to be dyed markings but until I get my microscope I cannot be sure
And you will waste a lot of money in the process, paying $35-50 to certify a coin that is worth one cent, and which wouldn't even straight-grade due to the damage.
It's damaged by several different means. It's just a spender. And it's zinc with a thin copper coating.
Damage, corrosion, some kind of goop on the coin. There is no explanation that works for that to have happened at the mint.
