Could this be a 1942/1 dime? Any and all comments are welcome, thanks for looking! :) [ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH]
I looked at some that were for sale on ebay and didn't find any with the same kind of marks. I would think then that perhaps, since there weren't...
Thanks, would it affect any value that the coin might have?
Is this a die crack across the top of the word UNITED and out to the right of the D, or something else? Thanks for the comments! :) [ATTACH]
Does this look like an 1883 0 VAM 3 O/O ? Thanks for any input! :) [ATTACH]
Some great ideas guys, thanks for sharing, I might actually try one or 2 of them. :)
Yeah, I think that's the general consensus. But are there other markers, such as the Close AM and Wide AM that are referenced in the Red Book for...
ok, this is the last picture I'm putting up of this coin, this really hasn't been productive so far, but maybe after a few more people look at it,...

So have I. And you know what I noticed? That nice precious mirror shine is reduced DRAMATICALLY. (Wears gloves now because of that..) But...
Have you ever handled a proof coin with your bare hands? Just answer that please.
Quote edited. That wasn't the question I asked.... Here is the question I asked: When did I say that I had 1990 proof? I do not see that...
Thank you. There is some information that I didn't know. And I still don't ...really... because you seem to be asking the question too. :) But...
Why wouldn't it? It would still be the same coin, missing the same mint mark that it should have had....but just because someone needed gas or...
Ok, these aren't the best pictures, sorry. I think this one is a little better, but your statistical probabilities will still say nay... I guess...
Even after being in circulation for a few weeks...or maybe even months or maybe even years? It would still retain those same features?
I see, and so this same 20 year old circulated coin would have a back like, i mean...reverse...like this perhaps? [ATTACH] I'm just asking...how...
