There is corrosion on the obverse: On the shoulder above VDB and next to the last T/TRUST. But the only things I can think of where metal is...
Looks like it has some sort of gunky residue on it or corrosion. Try soaking it in some warm distilled water and see if any of that gunk...
No. That is all circulation wear. And I’m revising my wear grade assessment to XF40. The tricky lips aside, the only (good) reason to keep this...
Saying it in gentlemanly fashion, it’s “minting” not “printing”. Currency is printed with ink. Coins are “struck” at the Mint ( even though the...
Lotta wear…affecting the lips…kinda like a snarl or a sneer. AU50-53, seems the same on both sides. Have you checked it for varieties?…imo…Spark
Yep. Same here, very sharp coin…nice details and worth a shot. Yes, cleaned but so many from the 19th Century are…as evidenced by Morgans....
@Randy Abercrombie …but you’re still in the game, Randy. Live and learn from mistakes but never stop playing the game. For that I gave you a...
The only thing I can think of is that they are brand new, and not been searched. New coins habitually show up immediately near the mints (except...
Please re-phrase your question and provide more info…Spark
I see 2 faint places that might be from a clash, but it’s not very definitive by any means and the coin has advanced circulation wear with poor...
That is a really nice coin…has the cameo hallmarks on both sides…easy to see the reflective features…gotta love a proof-like that lives up to its’...
Please read my response to your introductory post. What you are seeing on this dime is circulation wear. The dies were also heavily used, they...
Yes, legal…and some businesses here locally still give out JFK halves as change. Depends on the business but it cuts down how much change the...
Looks like a contact mark made by the edge of another coin that had no reeding…so, not from a quarter or a dime but from another cent or nickel...
The Indiana State quarter was produced in 2002 and has the slogan “Crossroads of America” on the reverse design. The coin you posted is an...
She’s right…I presumed the level of damage and wear was similar to the obverse. I’d like to see the reverse too…Spark
Almost every one found and posted here over the last 6 1/2 years I’ve been a member has been a large date. This is a small date. This one does...
Not a proof…no squared edges, no reflective surfaces, not a hint of cameo anywhere. Even a found in circulation degraded proof would still...
Re-phrasing your question… “…is this coin the result of a doubled die?…” because the die that made the coin had the design doubled on it when it...
Wexler lists 7 DDO and 6 DDR for 1995D LMC. If you suspect doubling, this is where you go to confirm what you think you have. Also...
