Looks like an uncentered broadstrike. Is there any reeding present?
Probably too fine for the brush wire. Steel wool filament may be possible.
I've often seen that on brand new collars.
I don't see anything on the 1968, the other dime is too beat up to say whether anything is there or not. It is hard enough to say that it is a 2014.
I've searched the Domestic Mail Manual and other USPS publications and I can find nothing that says you can't mail counterfeit items.
Where is the denomination on a 1794 half dime? Or a 1066 penny of William the Conqueror? The Trade dollar got its legal tender status back under...
Pretty much every bank/armored car service operates that way. Surplus coins are shipped back to the Armored car service where they are counted,...
It is a nickel plated cent. Nickel is highly magnetic but the plating doesn't add significantly to the weight of the coin.
The Wyoming looks like a grease filled die. I assume the seventh and eighth pictures are the obv of the Cumberland Gap (No rev image so can't be...
There are 12 varieties of cent in 1827, and all of them have a curled base 2. I think this is N-7 an R-3 coin.

I'd heard the internet could be dangerous, but is it actually stooping to homicide?
5.5 to 5.8 are all within spec for a normal quarter. Means almost certainly just toning/discoloration.
25 cents. Or in my opinion pretty much the same as one NOT plated.
They warranty the color designation for ten years. They said this one was brown, and it still is, so no warranty claim that way.
That is one point at which PCGS is better than NGC. After many years PCGS finally started guaranteeing their attributions. NGC still does not.
If you're going to do that, you might as well let her go ahead and polish it too. It'd be ruined either way. Just take longer in the bezel.
Sorry, doubled post.
And in 1962 and 1964 the mint and proof sets were both put in cellophane. Could the coins have been cut from a cellophane proof set instead of a...
Yes, please come back and show us the results from the TPG so we can all eat some crow.
