I am starting to think that people just don't know what are the definitions of mint errors. Errors happen at the mint. They are rare, despite what...

As for the star notes. People like them, and of course anyone can collect whatever they like. Personally, I don't see how or why they would be...
The first 2 I am at a dollar each. But that's just me. Modern star notes are just face value. Yeah I know some of them have low print runs, etc....
Like I said if some of the coins are silver you are fine. But those rare dates and other old ones don't even look like silver.
It seems pretty deep, long and thick with displaced metal to me. I am with the details people. A small thin scratch to me could be acceptable. But...
I'm going to assume this is the S you are talking about. It's not a mint mark, or the remnants of a removed mint mark. [ATTACH]
A lot of them look very fake. The dates the portrait and the patina. If any of them are silver you are OK.
The 40% halves are supposed to weigh 11.5g. But as it has been explained there is a range. 11.31g is still OK. Sometimes they lose a little weight...
There are already photos of the 32 D and S mint marks. Some members have already declared them fakes.
Your coin is damaged and may have been in acid before being plated. (Or after.) I'm sorry if this is not what you want to hear. It's worthless. If...
They all may not be silver. If the 32 D and 32 S are fakes, it may not be a matter of an added mint mark, but a completely fake coin made out of...
Before it was plated it may have been in acid which will reduce the weight. Do you see how the rims are complete? If a dime planchet is minted in...
If there is copper on the edge it is not 40%, it is clad. While it can be a little heavy and still be in tolerance, a slightly thicker rolled...
If both sides are off, it's better than if only one side is off. Many coins will be off slightly on one side. If you look through enough coins you...
In 1977 your chance for an off metal transitional error (40% silver planchet instead of regular clad) are greater because they had a few of the...
Agree with Paddy. These cupro nickel coins can look like silver. All of these tests are not conclusive. The cupro nickel and 50% silver half...
Almost $5 melt value and if the coin is not damaged this site has it from $16-$22. And as Eddie pointed out, worth more than $10 to antique...
That was my impression as well. And the grading company missed it.
There are no silver pennies. This was probably plated, in other cases mercury is rolled over the cent. You coin is damaged, it's worth 1 cent. I...
