Wash your hands after handling zinc rot.
As @paddyman98 said, there are very few errors. Most are varieties. And I would go farther and say that most are inherent process variables. They...
Thank you. I guess giving a coin an MS rate is different than calling it Uncirculated.
Here are a couple that I got out of a mint roll I got at the bank 1959. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I agree that normal hits, bag marks, are an inherent mint state. But, this coin, by admission, came from roll hunting. To me CRH implies...

@lardan Welcome back to CT.
I am certain the indicated one is a crack extending from the crack in the skull. And, like you, I am certain the one from the Forehead to the U is...

Perhaps a person like me with 75 years of collecting, virtually every circulation grade coin back to before 1900 and thousands of accumulated...

The roll I found so many in was 2006 P. Here is one from that roll. [ATTACH]
Or the Twenty Cent piece that I got in change from an old vendor pushing a vegetable cart down the alley. He gave it to me in lieu of a quarter....
Great times Randy. We only had news about coins if we went searching for it. There weren't any sources for young collectors. I remember most...
All of my circulation grade sets are as found. I got them in change, from the pocket of a relative, from a trade with a friend or from searching...
The 1885 was the coin that started my collecting. When I was 5 years old my aunt gave me 2 nickels from her jewelry box. One was the 1883 WO cents...
