@Minanius …here’s the scoop… 1. There are 2 overriding qualifiers that are used for a coin to earn the “Full Step” designation on a slab label:...
Die clash, MAD and scratch.
Welcome to Coin Talk. There’s a lot going on with this coin…glare and wear…hard to tell. You need to provide close-ups of L/LIBERTY and the date...
@Laurie B …you don’t need to cross your fingers and hope. That’s not how you confirm your suspicions. You GO to Variety Vista or Wexler and...
Agree with clash. The rest is not notching, just battered LIBERTY and circulation wear. Worn spots on left wheat ear/reverse. AU50-53, imo…Spark
Damaged, corroded Zincoln. End of story…imo…Spark
@AnitaMore …the scope needs to have 3 Megapixel capability or better. Inexpensive ones tend to have 2MP and result in pixelation problems. Make...
Good find, Lou. Very attractive and great preservation…my guess is was released into circulation semi-recently from a collection, hasn’t...
It’s worth 1 cent. That is MD with wear…imo…Spark
Definitely PMD. People save damaged coins for a myriad of reasons… this one appears to be in the AU53 Red Brown neighborhood and that’s being...

Not a keeper. Just a well circulated half dollar…imo…Spark
No. It is more probable that it is the beginnings of die deterioration…imo…Spark
AU55/58 with staining from environmental exposure. That is not normal toning. imo…Spark edit to add: USA Coinbook lists a MS60 at $.69. Your...
Needs better lighting but I think it is a complete design. However, this may be a proof dime ( S mint mark, and rims look squared). That means as...
@jim a baranak …please do the following next time you post: 1. Tell us what sort of doubling you suspect. Don’t make us guess. 2. Post a...
Local Oscillating Califragilistic Anomaly…(this means I haven’t a clue). Hopefully another member comes up with a better guess…Spark
As a zinc memorial and the last number of the date being a zero, it can only be 1990 or 2000. Honestly, it has the look of a zinc ‘90…imo…Spark
Yep…all 3: die erosion, mechanical doubling and wear…imo…Spark
@Pickin and Grinin @Evan Saltis …I totally respect your viewpoints. The underlying question was: When does an error occur? During the...
Separate names with a comma.
