Indeed they are an unlikely find; perhaps <10%. But worth more than those with the 40 reverse for P and D (if I remember correctly). Perhaps a...
I can see the second serif on the computer image. It was too small on my phone to see clearly on the second 39. The S is the simplest way to...
The calico Jefferson. Might have been a botched science experiment.
Hi Marie - what may be interesting in this matter is less the coin than what it represents. For instance, I have a circulation set that I’m...
Nice! Which reverse on that second 39?
It's doubtful that you have all of the population for WDDR-030 and Wexler attributes various Stages to different folks. It's important to note...
It's unfortunate, but keep in mind that you can buy an MS specimen for a buck or two. Experimenting on 'disposable' coins first can help you when...
Do you have links for us? We can have a look.
Agreed. The portrait remains the same size but the lips/mouth are reduced. A pretty extreme example, worthy of an educational piece.
I'll add that there are hybrids like transitional cents (CAMs/WAMs) where the wrong pairing of a properly manufactured die contributed to a variety.
I suspect a novelty collector coin liberated from a collection. If as suspected, these are sold on TV to mainly unsuspecting individuals (usually...
That's why I was leaning towards a minor lamination issue. But a burnished mm can appear as a lamination error. I'm not sure from the photos,...
Hi Parker - we are happy to help but we will need some closer shots of the RPM. Provide a full shot of the obverse and reverse along with closer...
It looks like a combination of die state and advanced deterioration in spots. And a bit of circulation damage. No listed DDOs for this date:...
Those marks were in the die and transferred to your coin (a useful diagnostic); just as the DDO and the RPM. As for value, you can use the...
Hi Jimmy - looks like it spent some time in a parking lot before eventually being picked up. Life could have been way worse for that quarter if...
That 1982D looks new. Buffalo and War Nickel counts are lagging. You must be due for a mini-dump. That'll be fun!!
It looks a little like burnished material overlapping part of the MM, perhaps from a hit. Or a slight lamination error. Maybe a bit of the same...
Separate names with a comma.
