Normal weight for a 1973, sounds like two normal cents.
What on earth does a Sacagawea dollar have to do with this coin? They didn't even make the Sacagawea until 7 years after this coin! This is just...
It is hard to understand people putting out hard earned money without the knowledge of what they are buying. There are many very poor fakes that...
I have seen lots of them partway through the process of discoloration. The reason you see so many that look the same is because once they reach...
I don't see any of those things in the pictures. The color looks like something spilled on it and stained it.
Just a normal 1993 cent that has seen it's share of damage. I see discoloration and plating blisters but that is about it.
Could be glue or polyurethane or something of the like as well. If so acetone would remove it.
Hommer, I am a bit confused by your statement. The poster's note is one of the 1864 notes, actually one of the last printed. The Confederacy had...
It is real, and I am sure it has been touched in the last 150 years more than once so you didn't ruin it. Just be careful not to tear or wrinkle...

Normal circulated Philadelphia minted cent. Definitely not a proof.
37-J is a better variety, around R5 if I remember correctly. My first colonial was a NJ that I got 45 years ago so I am kind of partial to them.
Definitely a souvenir type replica. The grainy mushy surfaces are a dead giveaway, and a genuine coin of this type would be paper thin.
The difficulty in grading Colonials definitely extends to the grading services, they are very inconsistent with them. Most colonial collectors...
I too just see a well circulated quarter with lots of bumps and scratches.
Colonial/pre Federal coins are tough to put a number on. Strike, planchet quality, die condition etc. are just all over the place. Worn dies,...
Normal cent that has been counter stamped. Lincoln cents are a very popular host for counter stamps.
Just a regular nickel minted at the Philadelphia mint. Philadelphia did not use mint marks until a few years later.
Separate names with a comma.
