Brockage is when a coin sticks to a die and then the stuck object acts like a die itself. This coin shows no evidence of brockage. Thanks, Bill
It's damaged. essentially it's rotting from the inside out , probably after being damaged in another unknown way first. As the exposed zinc...
1) Its not a lamination error of any kind. A lamination error will be peeling away from the surface of the coin or a layer would be missing. 2)...
I don't know how much the value would be increased on such a worn coin but I would keep it:-)
It's not a strike through anything:-) This was a very common occurrence and was the result of intentional die abrasion used to remove clash...
I would love to see a clear picture of the date itself on the 1816 piece. Magnified as much as you can keeping it clear. Thanks, Bill

A perfect example of why slabs are almost useless.

It is most likely a plated Lincoln cent. If it is, it will weigh about 3.11 grams. There is an outside chance that it is a cent struck on a...

These are normal proof edges, struck by a three piece collar. Nothing unusual. Thanks, Bill
