While I'm learning the one cent , I have noticed the 1990's Jefferson Nickel has been stuck in very good quality
I'm unsure if all these remarks are for me. Moving forward I am trying to understand when everyone started collecting when did It all start to click. Ragu
Do not say that you are way off. Yes, expensive high grade coins and rare currency is nice to behold, but collect what catches your interest. A coin may not have much monetary value to it's owner, but might have priceless memories of a time gone by or the person who was with you when you discovered the coin. That is one of the nice things about our hobby. There are no set rules as what to collect. Enjoy the hunt.
Your right . I have to sometimes find a better choice of words. I think the Nickels he has are awesome , I have enjoyed mine also. Thanks
That is corrosion attacking the zinc interior of the cent. Once there's a scratch or hole through the copper layer coating the cent, an electrochemical reaction makes the zinc corrode very quickly when it's in contact with sweat, salt water, or another conductive solution. It looks like a face because the human brain is hardwired to see faces, even in random patterns. That leads to a lot of questions here about damaged coins...
@Ragu Are you aware that those are not US coins? Look at the reverse of the Jefferson nickel in the pictures. Do those look anything like any nickel in your collection or any others you've seen in circulation?
By studying and understanding the minting process. Once you know how coins are made, you can tell if something can or cannot happen during the minting process. Sometimes they can be hard to tell, but not in this case. When a coin is struck, it is pressed between two dies retained by a round reeded collar. There is no way for a coin to be made this out of shape in this way, so it had to happen after the coin was made.
I was not aware due to the fact that looking at the state quarter program , I thought that this was in order with that kind of program. Learning . Thank you for the knowledge. Ragu
Wow , That was definitely alot of experience from over the years of reading and collecting you had just given Me . That is impressive. Thank for taking the time . Ragu
Eight weeks I have been waiting for the results of my coins from PCGS and they are almost done I guess. I have spent a bit of money to become a member and then the fees to look at 5 coins. I have learned over these past few weeks for all the great insight you all have given to me was I just spent money that I had no business spending. I sent in these coins looking at the PCGS coin book as the 1982 D and the 1969 S..the 1990 Quarter as well as the 1925 cent. I was excited with these finds and now I'm unsure of evey peace I sent in.

If you are unsure of the coins you sent, that means you are learning, that is a good thing. You will be much more informed next time!
Good job. Figured u had that info covered. Very shiny coins. Keep all of those cuz I never find any earlier 80’s that clean
