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...
Correct. The coin on the left is the large mm, worth up to 10X the coin on the right. The serif points upward on the Large S and downward on the...
I think that a $3 learning opportunity might be a better investment than a Powerball ticket with the power-play. I think that there was good...
You may want to consider setting it aside for a unique coin series/collection. I've been setting aside 'dark' nickels with a kind of cameo...
I was thinking possibly acid as well or perhaps lost in a parking lot at the beach. The damage is pretty even (full coverage) and regular road...
Both of the DDOs at Variety Vista are small date varieties (see here: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/smalldates/1974.html). Your coin is a...
Lighting and shadows playing tricks on you. A normal cent.
It's your call. I am not a currency collector for the most part, but for generally common bills of a date, a crisp uncirculated bill goes for a...
VerdiCare is a conservation treatment that acts upon the verdigras and stops/slows their progression. DON'T CLEAN THE COIN! Instant dud after...

Nice find!! Here is the link to Coppercoins: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1925&die_id=1925s1mm001&die_state=mds Confirm...
Welcome motox! It's a common, circulation find in that condition. Depending on what you are attempting to accomplish (e.g., build a roll of...
I recall having a hard time photographing this one early on when I was still honing my photography skills. Nice find!! [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] CRH find from a nickel roll...tossed into a foreign coin bin for months...realized in time!! Not bad for a nickel investment!!
Another clue that this is a weak strike is in the lack of a well defined rim. On the greaser specimens by furry, you see a well defined rim with...
Numismatic value isn't very significant here, so I think it all rides on the authenticity and bullion value. Either way, at $122 you shouldn't be...
Separate names with a comma.
