Your coin cannot be 1mm-004, as the mintmark is not in the same position. In order for a coin to be an rpm, the mintmark location needs to be...
I saw the non _cents distress signal and hurried as quickly as I could! Can't quite tell from the pictures provided. Any chance you could get...
The circular pattern of damage indicates rolling/counting machine damage, so post-mint damage in my opinion. Keep up the hunt!
I'm leaning towards post-mint damage on this one, but closer pictures will help.
Yes, it appears to be machine doubling. Notice it is flat and shelf-like. No added value that I can think of, unless you sell it to someone who...
No value I can think of. Still an interesting coin, though. Keep up the hunt!
The thing that first made me think the coin was plated was that despite it having a beautiful color, the thicker, mushier letters led me to...
I think there was some grime in that location, so while the rest of the coin toned, the area underneath there remained the same color. So when the...
Looks like the same one to me. Another 1mm-002. Great find. Keep up the hunt!
Varieties are deviations from the norm that are not directly related with striking a coin...incorrect reverse/obverse dies, repunched mintmarks,...
Yes! It appears to be 1954S-1MM-002. Great find!
As long as the mintmark is in a relatively normal orientation, it passes mint specifications. There are some examples where it is even touching...
I agree with Chris. Also, cents, not "pennies".;) Keep up the hunt!
Flat and shelf-like...cuts into the devices...classic MD. Here is a small tutorial I wrote on how to tell different kinds of doubling from true...
$55 for a mint error, but putting it in a slab with a grade will bring you more money than selling it raw for sure. So having it slabbed outweighs...
I would say PCGS would be your go-to grading service for this error. It certainly looks legit, but I would still like to see better pictures. Keep...
The thickness of the letters could be due to die wear, which is known for giving letters a "thicker" appearance. On the other hand, the thinner...
+1. And I don't think it is a doubled die. Could be MD or die deterioration doubling.
If a coin with an incuse element hits a coin, the result would be a raised element. This is the same principle that dies work upon. Incuse...
I rarely buy varieties. Nearly all the ones you will see me post have been found by me searching in circulation or searching through bulk wheat...
