Isle of Man: copper-nickel crown; Manx cat, 1970 150,000 mintage. Just a semi-random, fairly inexpensive coin I found in a World lot I got in....
For me, it always happened when I dug a really low-grade coin while metal detecting on colonial era sites. Either a corroded old copper or a...
I've always wanted one of that type. That's a nice example, too.
Nope, don't think so. It's a random mark that coincidentally happens to look like an S. Edited to add: the shape and size are not correct for it...
The answer is probably halves, if you can get them- there's the trick. I always liked nickels, myself. They're a low denomination, so you get...
Congrats on the fun find, despite the minor issues there.

I agree with @Mannie gray - it looks to have been dipped, though that may just because of the way it appears in the photos. Still a nice and...
That’s a pretty dramatic lamination. What’s the date in the coin?
Interesting. Looks like a strikethrough to me, though I'm no error/variety guy.
I extended your editing privileges on that particular thread until the end of the month, if you wanna tweak it a little.
Ah, you must mean THIS guy! ;) Edit: not sure what that has to do with this discussion about 1984 DDO cents, but that guy's insane Wheat cent...
Thanks, I had.
I laughed when I read back over that old thread, some of which I had forgotten. The lightning out there was scary that day! See, Cheech, I...
