Welcome to CT!! Looks like someone hammered something circular into it. Like a really bad counter stamp in the worst possible spot.
Another hard choice!! Great job pairing these @Curtisimo. Edit:I think you forgot to tag Theodosius at the top of his entry
I second that! Had a hard time deciding on this one myself.
I have seen and voted on 3 different pairings this evening. Have I missed any?
Wow a Canada Lg. Cent! Not what I was expecting to see. These aren't easily mistaken for a US cent so it kinda makes you wonder how it got in...
This was my thought too.
You very welcome glad I could help. Again welcome to CT. Feel free to post any coins you have questions about. There are lots of knowledgeable...
Here is another way you can tell. [ATTACH] The photo above is the word States on both a 2000P WAM and a 2000P CAM from my collection. Notice how...

I agree toned UNC coins are not BU. The toning takes away from the luster. I do not agree that all UNC coins, that aren't toned, are BU. Some...
I don't have any coins the forum hasn't already seen, but I'll give it a shot. I'm in if there is room left.
Nice set. I have a couple myself. These tend to sell for around $15-$20 (including shipping) on eBay. Most coin shops I see with them tend to...
This one appears to be a Lg. Date. Now that you have an example of both varieties compare the dates. Pay particular attention the the bottom of...
Welcome to CT Martin!!! I agree your photos are too small to tell if they are Doubled Dies or not. The 1982D is a small date but appears to be a...
One of the coin shops I go to has coins from Cuba. I have bought a few of them for my US Minted world coin collection.
Separate names with a comma.
