All coins made of metal will tone under the right conditions.
Only the top brand names.
No, it's been damaged. Welcome to CT.
Welcome to CT. Not in the best of condition but they are sweet! I'd add all of them to my collection.
Normal and it's toning.
Yes it's real. It's called a Cud, a common Mint error worth a couple of dollars to a collector of sorts. Welcome to CT.
The toning looks 2 shades darker than a nice gun metal blue/gray.
It's damaged and that's all that matters.
Very nice! Love the coloring. I think was in someone's collection for most of its life. A strong 66 in my opinion.
Don't ever crack that out with that grade as it won't grade the same or higher. Be happy with what it is.
Certain coins sell regardless but not stamps and not first day covers.
You're welcome.
Proof is a method of manufacturing coins. It has nothing to do with the grade. The only known DD Franklin is the 1961 proof. If memory serves me...
Welcome to CT, as stated, your Quarter is normal.
@Kasia, that's funny!
Congrats on a nice find! :)
I like all of them but my favorite of them all is the Draped Bust (1796-1807) design. To me these always appear to be sharply struck as compared...
I see very minor or what appears to be very minor doubling. Since only one of the Franklins is attributed with a DD and that's a proof, I doubt...
They all have that replica look and packaged the way they are convinces me even more. Please accept my condolences on your loss. It is wonderful...
You just beat me Rick and I agree. There's a small blob of metal behind his ear and on the lowest part of the ear lobe. I see no signs of doubling...
