Copper is a very reactive metal and there are lots of things in the environment that love to do interesting things to the surface. Off...
As @paddyman98 said, it's a worn die strike. It's common to find these on nickels and dimes in the 80s. Yours is pretty bad, but it's not really...
Remember those people in college who said, "you'll never use that after you graduate"? Well, I just showed them. Only took 30+ years to find an...
As @l.cutler and others have said, your cent was struck on a brass planchet. So were Billions of other cents, so I feel reasonably confident that...
It's not a matter of believing in you, it's a matter of knowing and understanding the FACTS. If I believe the car in my driveway is a Porsche,...

Need pics, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. The minting machinery can't strike a coin if one of the dies are missing. There are some specific...
Yes. The obv die is shot. You'll see a lot of nickels and dimes with the "orange peel" look from the early 80s. Back when they first came out, I...

Hey kurt @V. Kurt Bellman . You should use that guys avatar. I think it would make Doug jealous
If you found 6 of them, how can they be unique? :facepalm: ;) (just a little amusement after shoveling a lot of snow this morning)
