2 of my fondest memories, in May 2005...hiking to the waterfall in El Yunque with my son and canoeing at night in the bioluminescence bay...Nice...
Agree damage or environmental damage to all and dime is MAD. Look, the last coin is over 75 years old and environmentally damaged; zinc-plated...
You might find some ddr in the rolls, philly cents, at least 3 different reverse doubling of the hands/fingers of the "Early Childhood" cent,...
Value is relative. For many, anything valued over face value qualifies as "valuable". This is a way too common die flaw sensationalized by Noob...
So at 11:11am on Nov. 11 you are standing in the Mojave Desert outside Barstow, CA, when a Western Union motorcycle delivery man hands you a...
Answering your poll...it is doubling, just not the valuable kind. MD is the concensus, at first I thought DDD, until I saw the mint mark...Spark
For this coin...what lamination value would it have if not negated by the huge gouge in the head? $1.00 insread of .03? My view is that the gouge...
The obverse wear is vg8, the reverse wear maybe a bit better at f12. NGC lists this date at .18 and .25, respectively, for a normal, undamaged,...
dlp 21...your pics in post #7 clinched it...agree with Rick...am able to see the thickness in the attributes' details...Spark. btw, nice find.

Just curious as to a ballpark value for this...obviously worth slabbing so I'm guessing maybe $75?... Spark
Also, with over 50 VAM varieties for this date alone, VAM World 2.0 appears to be more comprehensive than the VAM Encyclopedia by Mssrs. Van Allen...
Agree with SilverDollar2017...MAD. Additionally, there is substantial wearing of both sides and the bent part already mentioned. The wear and...
...and if it doesn't have zinc rot yet, it will...unless sealed in a capsule to eliminate any further exposure to air. I also agree the...
Welcome to CoinTalk, I look forward to seeing some interesting posts from you. To help you advance in your studies about doubling, if you haven't...
It doesn't matter, but not just because you can't melt them (legally). As I have learned here on CT, if you could melt them the process to...
The OP coin is in great shape, but the deterioration of the strike by the die lessens its appeal to collectors as this is extremely common. It is...
"Worth" and "value" are not the same thing. As a damaged, worn, over- produced quarter, its worth is less than face value. But you could spend...
I agree that the coin is ugly, but NGC certified it as MS63, meaning: no wear. It has many other problems, but "wear" is not one of them...Spark
