There is no doubt that the coin is an altered cent. The 3 on a 1943 cent is very particular in its appearance. The coin seen here was a 1948...
I'm doing pretty well:-) Don't do anything weird to those coins until we can figure out what they are. :-) Have a GREAT Weekend, Bill
Also, it was stated that the coin is the same size as a cent. The picture will help but the likelihood is that the coin is simply another coin...
Hi, A few things to be said. The coin exhibits clash marks. That is not that uncommon. It is and should be labeled as a "Clashed Die Error"...
Lets see, this week I found a plated cent, two plated halves, and a plated quarter as I searched through rolls. They were sold by the millions ,...
It has some strange characteristics but nothing that can be confirmed from the images. I agree with Captainkirk:-) Thanks, Bill
Very Nice! They are interesting finds! When you get a bunch of them from the same roll that makes the find even better:-) have Fun, Bill
Minor die scratch. That causes a minor raised line on the coin since the scratch is recessed into the die. It is interesting but doesn't add to...
Nice CUD!!
BINGO! These pictures do show RPMs! Thanks for posting them! Bill
The 1982 P is technically a die variety but the others are minor and common errors. As mentioned they are called coins struck by overly abraded...
I find coins damaged in every way you could possibly imagine:-) The tame ones are the ones with holes:-) Have Fun, Bill
Nice photshop job:-) No genuine 1933 quarter dollars exist. Thanks, Bill
I'm not trying to be funny but...Usually a drill bit. I find coins with holes in them all the time Thanks, Bill
Coins that are truly considered as "missing the initials" are those like the 1982 P that for some reason did not have the initials on the die....
No, the effect is due to die deterioration on the coin known as a Poorman's Doubled Die. It is not a doubled die at all. Thanks, Bill
Hi Michelle, It's impossible to tell from those pictures:-( Thanks, Bill
The rim shows damage(s) the S and the other letters show the effects of coins as they are struck by worn dies. Thanks, Bill
No...the coin called a Poorman's DoubleD Die , with a D at the end of doubleD, is not a doubled die at all but is the result of die wear....
Hi, It was indeed due to the die being worn. Also, I am not sure that you have a repunched mintmark, a better closeup would be needed....
