Die deterioration on the first one, strike through grease the 2 others, very common for many dates, no added values…Spark
My first thought was die pitting. But @green18 … his view seems to be closer to the truth of the matter…imo…Spark
@Good Cents …Canadian cents were hoarded, but they are made of survivable metals. There are low mintage types and magnetic types and mint mark...
That does not look like a plated quarter, instead, the pic is showing a color reflection of something, maybe his hand…and @SVO_Seth …please wear...
Yes, MD…there maybe some elements of deterioration present but this looks a classic, but very pronounced MD to me…Spark
OK, look…I am not seeing any RPM action, and I don’t see any MD or any other doubling…this silver dime looks a MS60 or so…so…that’s what you have....
We had a guy lose a heel from his boot. The route marching through Camp Pendleton had 400 Marines in 4 platoons (a Company), and the heel nails...
Yes, plus tomato and salt along with white vinegar makes ketchup a moderately acidic substance. It is the acid content that turns copper pink....
Ketchup will clean to a pink but the corrosion is yet another form of environmental damage. Either way the coin is a spender…imo…Spark
Yes, please supply in-focus close-ups of the area you suspect the doubling. And, use Variety Vista and Wexler to find acknowledged doubled die...
That’s a really nice find!…congrats…Spark
So you can sleep tonight, PMD. The indentation on the dome, and the other “dings” (as Sal put it), a foregone conclusion…imo…Spark
The main thing to look for for 1981 dimes is one that looks like it just got fresh struck at the mint. To go along with this main thing, you...
Try taking the coin out of the flip for pix.
At MS63, almost all State quarters are currently listed at 12 times their face value. This is a fact, not wishful thinking. NGC, PCGS and many...
@Wendy avet …According to NGC Price Guide, which you can use to get “in the ballpark” as far as value goes, Indiana P&D State quarters are listing...
A lot of wear. No doubling, not an error. I agree with @expat it appears to be a die chip on the ear now worn down. What does the coin weigh?
@JeffC …perhaps “m” meaning “medal”. There’s a lot of verbiage on that label.
I don’t claim coining (pun intended) the acronym. I saw it here on CT a few years ago. I think it was in a graphic another member had posted.
@potty dollar 1878 …is right, lots of split-plate doubling on both sides, and classic form of it on the mint mark. It also has DDD on the date...
Separate names with a comma.
