Yes 3 likely scenarios. This coin was shaved down back in the day to fool vending machines into accepting it as a dime. Acid will reduce the...
If the letters are reversed, and I can't tell from the photo, them someone squeezed another coin onto this coin with a vise, (more than once) in a...
Both.
MAD yes slightly on the obverse. As for doubling (IDK) but, in 82 and 83 they overused the dies, so many of these coins have mushy details, they...
I don't think this is damage. If it's an error it could be "better" than a clipped planchet anyway.
All planchets aren't rolled exactly the same. Slightly thicker, slightly heavier. Even if you scale is 100% accurate, the difference is 7...
I'm going to gamble it's not MS 60 (which is not a common grade).
Proof (the steps are not likely on an MS 1955) 67
There isn't one member here who wouldn't be overjoyed at being included in seeing the first photos of a discovery coin, or an ultra rare newly...
The OP coin is damaged and it's a cull. The coins in post #3 (The portrait on the 46 looks wonky, but could be the bad angle) all looked harshly...
I think one problem is (besides scarcity) people always want to believe their 1982-D small date copper is real, or 1944 steel or 1943 copper etc....
You really did not read the article that says there basically aren't any. There is 1 known and 11 matte proofs. 1922 was a common year there are...
The Treasury Dept isn't spending any time, money or resources looking for this. If someone owned it, it could have been sold secretly to a...
If this is a proof, it is impaired.
He probably should have made the date 1963-D or 1965-D. Because now, anytime someone pops up with the "Rare 1964-D" it's going to be one of his...
Not a proof. And even if it was, not a matte proof. You took a nice business strike and damaged it. Congrats.
While that is possible, and the melting was done by weight, so switches could have been made, none, zero have ever been seen by anyone or...
Me again, hijacking the thread. Using the (10) number, and compared to the mintage from 1982 thru 1990, I am only going to add 1 billion out of...
I am trying to compile how many modern off metal cents there are. (Copper instead of zinc). "He noted that there (are) copper planchets known for...
If they weigh that much, they are nothing. If they line up with pennies in a stack, and aren't thick, they have to be something denser than copper.
