You can do PhotoGrade for the Franklins, too, but you can see the facial wear on the face of the ‘63 when you expand the pic.
I looked at the Franklins very closely, but do not see the tells. The “Bugs Bunny” variety is very pronounced but I don’t see it here.
Both the bicentennial and the 2021 are less than MS; too much evidence of slight circulation on facial features and reverse designs. If you held...
Honestly, it just plain doesn’t look like a proof coin.
As with the nickel roll from last Monday…your focus is off. You must fix this or all you will get is generic answers. From what I can see, looks...
I keep all cents pre-1940, unless severely damaged, firm at G4; less than that is not appealing to me. Then I keep wheats VF20 or better....
It does look good…for now, anyways. One must remember they are Zincolns, though. If the great price was 75 cents, he overpaid. Now he just...
I agree with previous posts. Also, that looks like a die crack in the first pic, in front of the collar. Nice roll. Work on your focus for your...
The quarter is approx. AU58, dump the dime.
A neutral color, like gray, is a better background color. White will throw your color balance off, depending on your equipment and magnification....
@Richard Kennedy …go to doubleddie.com and read everything on the site, especially the section on “Worthless Doubling”. It lists examples of...
My theory is…these are clad coins, 2 outer layers over a central copper core. This one may have just had a brittle piece break off.
It is KM#936a, copper plated steel. Plating issue.
So far they have been mostly cents, the oldest 1961 and the newest at 1991. I have found 1 worn out dime from 1984. I sorted about half last...
An alternative to Numista: Go to NGC homepage, Resources, Price Guides. They list a range of prices per condition and other info. To navigate...
The second of 8 known, the top coins are circa 1987, will be sorting soon, I will update with any earth-shattering finds. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
…and I would like to add, go to VamWorld.com. Be careful you don’t overwhelm yourself when you do, there is a mountain of things to read and...
It’s a KM#3, 1901 was the last year of mintage. Lists for $24.00 USD in Fine condition…your coin is not Fine. At grade Good (understood...
Looks to be a dent in the keys, and too much circ. damage…just a spender, imo. The D.C. Ellington is 2009, pretty worn for only 12 years.
Actually, I have found many of this type, including '85s', but I don't have them anymore. In my measured ignorance, I recycled all with this...
