I completely agree with Lamination/ delam. It is not uncommon to see the devices even to the center of the coin. IE in this case the A and M in a...
I took a look at a new dime and the area in question Neck/jawline is the lowest in relief of the bust. I am starting to think that an overly...
Thanks LakeEffect, I didn't see the Obv. That one is definitely pretty crude example, even for a counterfeit. Getting an unessesary charge for...
Wait a second captain the coin is not worth grading in the first place. You have asked a question and had many more responses that you haven't...
Here is a thought. It could be this but I am not sure at all. @Fred Weinberg @paddyman98 @JCro57...
Maybe you can explain to us how a clash becomes exposed on the raised areas of a coin. The devices are recessed into both die faces. So how does...
AU 58 I don't like the gunk below the E reverse. Still a neat Error.
It got me also. Frank has always meant a Half to me.
It's still worth a cent. I am more interested in the Op's cent. Physics brought up a good point. It looks like a bronze planchet to me. @JCro57

There is a little damage but most of what you are looking at is from a deteriorate die.
In this instance I hope that Frank means Roosevelt.
Coins in those type of sets tend to tone. Some go solid colors and some will tone like a target. And that is when the perimeter tones and then it...
I like them both. If I could only buy one it would be number 1 because the coin looks to be a better coin. But the toning on number 2 is my favorite.
No one is going to speculate on a coin that they can't see because it is too blurry.
That is damage. If it had been an actual error/significant error. You ruined most of the numismatic value by buffing it. That is not an accepted...
I was just being sarcastic. I see the hole now. Fun find.
I am going to start the cents today. I will update if there is anything good found.
Zinc should have a grey look. What ever is on it is damage. You can save it. But there really is no need to put much effort into the WHY.
