I’d have to agree it looks fake. The surfaces are too grainy looking and the rims don’t look natural either, but I’m not an expert. I’m sure...
@maridvnvm …Thanks for sharing…fascinating glimpse into history. The busts, putting faces to names…the helmets…the scutum…gives you an idea of...
CORRECTION to post #3…According to the Red Book… The actual nomenclature is “No mint mark” for 1982 Roosevelts and it was for uncirculated “MS”...
No Mint Sets were produced for 1982 and 1983. This forced coin dealers and major coin suppliers to create their own sets cobbled together from...
After perusing the better 1918-S pic I see more wear and agree to closer to XF40-45. Really nice coins. What a wonderful pile to work on!...
Disagree. I see evidence of circulation at the eyebrow, top of the ear and the hair above the ear. As such it is AU58+ at best, probably closer...
Looks suspiciously like a dropped partial 9…best guess…imo…Spark
It’s interesting if that’s what you collect. Casting no shade for that. But there's a reason TPGs don’t put some die maintenance results on...
My opinion is this is a normal cent with some light wear but has a weakly struck reverse with mechanical doubling…none of which commands any...
Minor IDBs on moderately circulated quarter. Not highly collectable. Not a keeper…imo…Spark
Both features are weak but present on the coin. …imo…Spark
Quick check of PCGS Photograde, it appears to be approx. AU53-55, $390-510 value for respective grade at NM/FMV…so, yes, eminently qualified for...
At this juncture, 3 things have poked their head up over the line of demarcation separating fantasy from reality: 1. Never underestimate the...
That is a ridge ring and it is caused by a worn die, aka die deterioration. The coin has significant circulation wear, some corrosion on the...
Zinc cents are not true clads, they are plated, produced in a different procedure than clad coins. If they were truly clad they would have...
The reverse is a scratch, the obverse is a die crack. That location is a very common area for those small cracks, indicates the die is near the...
+1 PMD made depressions all around LIBERTY obliterating the LI and TY. …imo…Spark
Randy, I think you are on target to win with this bid, with the wear, dings and dents it is AG3, around $110-120, but you are only a little high...
This is a proof, so there is a chance of DDO but unlikely. It honestly looks like machine/mechanical doubling. The QC on proofs is much higher...
The coin looks to have surface damage from an acidic substance. Damaged enough that a die crack makes little difference…imo…Spark
