@expat is correct. Plating bubbles are a manufacturing defect. They are very common, not valuable and epitomize copper plated zinc cents (CPZ)...
Still, I’m glad you realize the coin has no redeeming qualities whatsoever… …imo…Spark
Well, I will make a suggestion. You have great pics for a really nice coin, but the general consensus for sending for grading is for a coin to be...
I’m taking a wild guess that it has about 30 years of wear before being put on the tracks, that would be around 1911…very odd creature…but very...
I do pay cash about twice a week, I’m getting good at forcing the DIY pay kiosks to dispense the kind of change I want. For example, I have 4...
@lordmarcovan Rob, Received the coins intact in today’s USPS, 2:45pm EDT. Emily will be astonished, to say the least, I will be sending them...

Clarification: Auto correct will not save. Assigned = MS61RD. and it screwed up the proportion… it should read 1.04 divided by x. = 2.01...
Myka, Regarding the uncirculated red cents from the roll… All of them need to be in a 2x2 flip as a minimum protection. You may want to go...

FANTASTIC!… I mean, just…WOW. Emily will be SO excited! Thank you so much…and thank you for being the generous person you are, @lordmarcovan …Spark
Just finished voting…Spark
