Can't spend them. As mentioned earlier in the thread. People won't take them without the watermark and security strip. They think they are fake,...
I see no logic in giving back a dime, when something costs 12 1/2 cents and a 20 cent coin is used to purchase it. The change would be 7 cents....
Considering the condition, and using $175 as a base, $250 each might be reasonable.
Bought some mint sets in the 80's/90's. Unimpressed with the poor quality, sold them at a yard sale and never bought them again. Proof sets are...
You can try to get a refund. If they misrepresented these coins as BU or mint state, when in fact they are damaged because of the reprocessing. A...
$175 + or more. Here is a price guide: https://www.uscurrencyauctions.com/$100-us-currency-value-price-guide.htm
There are 4 different Presidents on dollar coins in 2008. Which one is it? The S coins are proofs, I don't think your coin is a proof. But better...
Yes it is a 1909 VDB. Not a plain 1909. Condition looks pretty good, although the photos are blurry. The reverse looks better. $15
Your plating weights are incorrect. (OP) You have a 2.5 coin and .6 of a gram plating to make 3.10. The plating on a 2.5 zinc coin is closer to...
They could be made in China or North Korea. (Or another poor country where US bills and coins circulate.) A million of them might cost $10,000 to...
It's a counterfeit. Here's mine: [ATTACH]
Agree with Joe C. post #18 which is why I said the coin had to be a proof, because it was clad. In 1976 they made clad proofs, silver proofs and...
Blows on fingernails, buffs on lapels.
You can put the silver ones in acetone. I use a glass jar with a lid. The acetone won't hurt the coins, or harshly clean them. But it can remove...
If it was truly uncirculated and not a proof, then it would be silver. Since it is clad, they didn't make clad 76-S coins that weren't proofs.
The coin business is unforgiving. The scratches may or may not detail the coin. The reverse looks nice, but my gut tells me this coin has been...
I also see no luster. Fire was my first thought. But I am sure there are other possibilities. Melt value coin.
EBay sale. 1909 VDB or S VDB.
This damaged coin isn't worth 1/10th the price they are asking. EBay gets worse every day.
Agree about the chatter. This is a sparkler. MS-64. Reverse is nicer. Without all the chatter it's very high MS.
