It looks like a linear plating blister. Very common on copper plated cents especially the first few years they were minted. It has no additional...
I don't know the value, but if I found that coin, I would keep it. Since there were no mint sets in 1982, nice coins are tougher to find.
If you learned something, and more important, if you enjoyed the research process, then it was worth it. As you learn more about errors and the...
@Dallas Johnson The poll is optional but many newcomers don't realize it. The members are just having some fun amongst themselves. Nothing wrong...
The 80s cents are the worst. Loaded with plating blisters and split plating around the date, MM, and letters
The "clouding" is due to environmental damage. Some chemical or other substance came in contact with the coin and left a stain. This occurred...
@tommyc03 don't forget to crimp those staples
Thanks for helping that Fred guy understand a little more about struck through errors. :D
It looks like our resident Troll is back. Seems like every 2-3 months he pops up trying to stir up trouble. @i2i another addition to my Do Not...
The easiest way to ID a 1983 DDR is the ONE CENT. Why did you post everything but that. It is apparent that you don't quite understand the...
I don't think so. The top looks like it took a hit. Prior to 1989 (or maybe it was 1990) all mms were hand punched into the die. The MM may...
Sorry, but it's damaged by something abrasive. It did not leave the mint like that.
If it was struck through a cloth, wouldn't you expect ALL the details to be weak? The lines are staining. Here is a good site that is worth...
Being "sticky and waxy", almost certainly says it didn't leave the BEP like that. Something happened to it during circulation
You need to hang with @paddyman98 He always seems to find coins.
This has been on my want list for a long time. Unfortunately, my numismatic budget doesn't come close
If the entire spot is raised above the surface, it's likely to be a die chip. If some or all of it is indented, then took a hit and is PMD. BTW:...
As others have said, without pics it is very difficult to provide an accurate answer, however, it sounds like your $2 was a first day of issue...
NCG was a bottom feeder in the TPG game and tried to capitalize on the name, which could fool people into thinking it was an NGC slab. They were...
Agree with the others. PMD
Separate names with a comma.
