I think it could be teeth marks from a gear of some kind. Post mint damage though.
No Doubled die.
Keep in mind that there are subtle differences and i am going by the pictures. The way the groove on the base of the 2 is situated is different...
I'm all for education. There are some folks on these forums that have learned a phenomenal amount over the last year, year and a half, two...
Let me also say that I don't take offense unless someone calls me a really nasty name:-) As far as the learning curve, I was in the same boat a...
Hi, The coloring is just due to some circulation of the coin. As mentioned the doubling is machine doubling, and does not command a premium....
Hi, Yes, and a damaged 4. I just want to reinforce that this look occurs on plated cents and adds no premium to the value of the coin....
Hi, No doubled die. Just wear on the rest. The date might be a repunched date but a better picture would be needed to see if it is. Thanks,...
The cent shows chemical damage. Has anyone suggested the possibility that The dollar coin may have had a light layer of adhesive on it? Thanks, Bill

Nice find! Also, some might call this a TDO. Look at the upper part of the inside opening of the numeral 6. I don't think we'll get people to...
The edge, please, I posted this so there is no confusion. The edge and the rim are different. We need to see the edge. As stated though, the...
When a die is not useable, they do retire it. They also deface the die. A grease filled die is not fatal to the die:-) They clean it up and...
It is either damage that moved some metal, or it is a slight die chip. It would not add any premium to the value of the coin. Thanks, Bill
And as I stated in that post, if I am wrong, I'll be the second one to say so:-) I'm sure you would want to be the first:-) Going a little...
It's possible for a die to be damaged in transit from Philly to Denver , let's say. but the odds are highly against it:-) The dies are securely...
