It's surprising what people will pay for zincs. If even one set of dies was used in the 99 W AM, there has to be at least 100,000 or more coins?...
I didn't realize the 99 was so rare. So thanks for the update. I will just wait here for the photos.
Copper cents are not worth the spot price of copper. If you were allowed to melt them for the precious metal content, you would receive about 1/2...
Oh it looks like a Henning. Post 13 confirms the weight for the 1944 non R. If this is a "fake" of a Henning they did a masterful job. I don't...
It does look a little different in the new photograph. I would compare it to other photos of 1976-S nickels to see if they are the same or different.
If the coin is genuine, I agree with AG-03. Someone needs this to fill a hole and I believe the range is higher $50-$100. USA coin book has...
Looks like the 79 blob S from the SBA. Not sure if it is RPM.
The new photo in post 14 seems to be a small date. The pic is a little blurry but it is far from the rim, has the snowman 8 and the delicate 2. A...
The aluminums were dated 1974 and you aren't finding one in circulation. You have a plated 1973 as already mentioned. Even if there was a miracle...
You are saying different things here. First you say the core is an alloy. Which it is. And then you say it is a copper core, which it is not. And...
You must use a more precise scale. One that at least has tenths, if not hundredths. Something like this: [ATTACH]
I'm not talking about the layers of a clad coin. I am saying the inner core of a 40% half is not copper. It is an alloy of copper and silver, and...
While that may be a small date 1982-D, (Post #14) if it is, it is most likely zinc. If it is copper, before you can assume it is a real one, it...
40% silver does not have a copper core. It is alloyed and the resulting color is silver. Even though there is more copper in the alloy then...
It's dark at that spot but the OP coin looks to have the dot marker on the non looped R Henning.
They have no obligation to protect the TPGs from their mistakes. Their obligation is to their readers. If they omit something out of loyalty, or...
There's nothing to grade. Even if it was MS (and I think it misses it appears cleaned and circulated) it's a 50 cent coin with no market. The...
Get a more precise scale.
2.5 is the correct weight for a zinc penny. Photos are not clear, but they both look like large dates to me. Either way they are worth .01 cent....
It's just a beat up dime. 10 cents. There's no iron clad. (If I am interpreting "Iran clad" correctly.)
