Acidic treatment, certainly something caustic. Could have been on it just long enough to cause that cracked surface effect…but the copper on the...
Looked at NGC World Coin Price Guide about 1:30 am this morning… Jersey lists 12 coins this date/denom, mostly battleground sites, but not yours....
Yes, welcome to Coin Talk. Seein’ as how this is your first post, here is some more help: Get yourself a Yeoman Red Book. Use it to research...
2 problems: your coin is a 1971-D, and your pictures are very pixelated. I don’t see any doubling.
You gotta buy a ticket to win the lottery, you gotta look for doubling to find it.
In retrospect, the value is less than 25 cents. I just finished a handful of ‘70 cents and I passed on 7 of them with this level of wear. I...
Agree. Looks to have been struck and then PMD to the reverse w/o affecting the obverse.
This is DDD, die deterioration doubling. The lettering has eroded edges, as opposed to MD, machine doubling with a flat and shelf-like shift to...
I said both. The 1809 looks cast and the denticles look suspect on the 1832.
@Alex G …get a Yeoman Red Book and read the Lincoln cent section. Around Oct. 1982 the U.S. Mint began striking Lincoln cents made from copper...
A search for “Bugs Bunny” Franklin resulted in mostly 1955 halves up for grabs on FeeBay, but I saw 1956 and 1963 as well so 1954 is not out of...
Well, I am not infallible, I get grading different from the TPGs all the time and I am not the Lone Ranger… they seem to apply different criteria...
You can do PhotoGrade for the Franklins, too, but you can see the facial wear on the face of the ‘63 when you expand the pic.
I looked at the Franklins very closely, but do not see the tells. The “Bugs Bunny” variety is very pronounced but I don’t see it here.
Both the bicentennial and the 2021 are less than MS; too much evidence of slight circulation on facial features and reverse designs. If you held...
Honestly, it just plain doesn’t look like a proof coin.
As with the nickel roll from last Monday…your focus is off. You must fix this or all you will get is generic answers. From what I can see, looks...
I keep all cents pre-1940, unless severely damaged, firm at G4; less than that is not appealing to me. Then I keep wheats VF20 or better....
It does look good…for now, anyways. One must remember they are Zincolns, though. If the great price was 75 cents, he overpaid. Now he just...
I agree with previous posts. Also, that looks like a die crack in the first pic, in front of the collar. Nice roll. Work on your focus for your...
