If the coin was in better condition you would say it was from a grease filled, or debris filled die. In this state, that could be one explanation....
It might make a nice photo, but I think it's damage. How do you get the oil off? Washing and rubbing?
Most banks won't take rolls, as you can't trust the count. I've worked several retail jobs and the rolls are always short, or have some Canadian...
Photo next to another cent, as it should weigh less, not more. Perhaps it was not ground off, but covered in some melted metal. Since the interior...
That's why it weighs more than an ounce. So that there is an ounce of gold. Plus there seems to be 1 gram of silver so there's another 55 cents....
Here is a Loonie that I have. [ATTACH]
No. It's a "Toonie". Canada went to 1 and 2 dollar coins. There is a loon on the 1, that's the Loonie. You can't cash in foreign coins in the US....
NGC says $2 in F-12 but that is high....
Maybe it's part of the strike through. It's not attached to the oval section, but it is close by and who knows what was struck through. Great FE....
Yes the planchets seem fine. The slight double rim is because of what paddyman said. Reverse of the 1988 is needed to determine if it is MAD or...
There is an ALMOST thread in the Paper Money forum. This would be a nice addition.
The 1969-S is INCREDIBLY rare, and the doubling is prominent.
This could be a number of denominations. I am going to assume the leaf is one of the wheat stalks on the Lincoln reverse. OK I saw the other post....
While most of them appear genuine hits, the 1966 appears photo shopped. Look carefully at the cut line above LIBERYY.
Copper cents weigh 3.1g (3.11) and there is no coating. What's magnetic? Nickel, iron, steel, cadmium? Copper cents are 95% copper and 5% tin and...
Except the value is compromised. If it was worth $25 before the mint mark removal, now it's less than $10.
Of the few proofs that were struck (it's great to learn something new) would they use a die that was a 5 over 3? (Technically not a 5/3 but a...
The damage in that area suggests removal. The 1922-D by itself is a semi key date. Now it's almost worthless. Greed has ruined another nice coin.
The OP has nothing, if he does they are counterfeits.
The 1982-D small date zinc is not valuable.
