If the marks are raised that would indicate scratches in the die. If the marks are below the surface of the coin that would indicate post-Mint...
Wow! That's a great find. I can't help you with IDing that coin but I'm sure others here can. You are lucky to be able to metal detect in an...

Generally holed coins have little or no numismatic value but some people collect them. I am close to completing a type set of holed coins in a...
Daniel Carr is Desins Computed (www.dc-coin.com) - the maker of Amero coins that I referenced in my post. Dan should be able to shine some light...
Why debate or worry about something that just plain ain't gonna happen? The Amero is a fantasy currency dreamed up by some college professor as a...

It's a radar. I guess I'd keep it and sell it to someone that collects radars.
JMC, That's how we all learn. At least you are looking and thinking. Don't quit looking and don't quit thinking. You just need to educate...
