I'm with Islander; probably nothing to do there. Acetone might lift free grit on the surface, but it wont lift a spot. Look at it first under a...
That and the law would have to change. You'd probably be better off trading your pennies for gold or silver. Your call of course. No judgment...
Correct. Although a doubled die coin can also display MD, when looking at the mint mark of Lincoln cents (before 1990) if you notice the same...
If you do something like this, you may want to invest in a decent scale that can discriminate to the cent. Require the customer to sort into bins...
Was the battery good? ;-)
Let’s remember that any of us can have a bad day, but hopefully not to the extent where we castigate a new member. And if we do, a PM to let them...
Our fellow enthusiasts offered good comment and observations. Always consider how something is ‘made’. It’ll help you to form a hypothesis to test.
@furryfrog02 Are you close to a known release point that you are aware of?
Here is a link you may find useful. https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/ It's not a replacement for reading books and getting a broader...
My advice is not to think of collecting as a race or competition. Pace yourself especially in the early stages. You want to have a feel and...
This cent had a rough life spending some of it in a automobile drink holder. Plenty of stains, damage, and hydrozincite. It's on a faster track...
Your pictures are a bit out of focus and this may be a case a pareidolia but I'd like to explore this further with you. Looking at Coppercoins, I...
Your photos are better and with time, you'll get even better. Unfortunately, all I see is the remnant of a clash in the third bay of the Memorial...
@Pickin and Grinin It's good to know that you are in the Denver area. I may PM you at some point as I'm working on my roll set and the Denver...
Some unsolicited advice first (I apologize for this right out of the gate, but better safe-than-sorry). I would hold off selling anything to...
Seems like a small run on proofs lately...and Buffalo. Tally up!!
1998 and 2000 WAMs are the easiest to find (not that they are easy to find). 1999 is the rare one; I haven't found one of these in the wild. I...
I agree; an RPM is an RPM. Fun find!
Well, I will need crisper photos to check for doubling and/or markers. It's very difficult to get a clear picture holding the coin in one hand...
Thanks @Chopperhead for the additional photos. Unfortunately, it is not a DDO. Just a normal cent with some chatter on IGWT. Still a decent...
