Looks like a coin that has been left outside. Two options: it experienced some pretty heavy environmental damage/corrosion which was then cleaned...
In terms of "really cool artistic photos," this shot has always been one of my favorites: [IMG] In terms of "capture the coin really well," I...
I like the obverse well enough for a '21, but that reverse is tough to like.
Don't know what MAC is, but I use Excel for tracking my collection.
Bit of a sidetrack from the OP's legitimate question... To the OP - can you show us enlarged photos of what you are looking at? I don't see it...
It very well may be a DDO. If you want to convince us of that, show us obverse pics. All you've shown so far are 2 extreme closeups of reverse...
Yeah, I think you've got 2 things going on here. First, there is some die deterioration doubling from a very late die state. That's giving you the...
Well, you show us pics of the reverse, so I'd say its a DDR (DDO would be obverse). There are no "C"s and no stars on the obverse.... That is...
Either some sort of coating... or the coin has had an unfortunate industrial accident with some acid. If this were Gotham, Abe would now have some...
A grease filled die (which is the same as struck through grease), a couple of die cracks, some chips to go with it. They are all extremely common,...
It is an AU cent. It probably came from a roll that someone cracked and searched, and this one wasn't good enough for anything else. It is...
Buddy, the 74 in the first post is definitely scratched/gouged/damaged. The other coins you posted appear to show lamination errors.
What "variety" are you seeing? I see some minor strike doubling on various parts, but absolutely nothing at all that suggests a variety (or...
Best thing to do? Sell it. Cut your losses. Buy a nicer one. There is no reason to keep throwing good money after bad.
Can't wait to see what you blow it on!
If the coin is graded 70 by PCGS but is not actually a 70, you can invoke the grade guarantee. Contact their customer service and they'll...
You can get good deals on Stacks because the website sucks so much that nobody else goes there.
NOOOOOO!!!!!!! Then it will surely turn up in the "error" forum, where some dweeb will think its worth millions! Better to throw it into the sea...
He didn't make thousands of bucks. He had thousands of bucks in one form of currency (which is hard to use), and converted that into thousands of...
Not even close. No questions asked. Absolutely, plainly, 100% fake. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being a Chuck E. Cheese coin and 10 being a fake...
