That is a pretty bad fake. Compare here. [IMG]
No. And frankly, I highly doubt you have a 1983 copper penny without any pictures, a weight, or anything else. These coins are about $15000 a...
Thick lettering just looks like die deterioration. I like the clash though.
The second picture of the letters is true doubling IMO. Clear split serifs and characteristics of a doubled die.
It looks like it may be the result of an overpolished die. But the pictures of the front are hard to see and slightly blurry.
If I were to guess, it probably sat on top of an item with those letters written on it for a very, very long time. The letters likely transferred...
Someone torched it. Not an error, just excessive heat.
EDIT: It could also have been spooned. This happens when someone repeatedly hits the edge with something until it is flat.
Someone shaved the edge off. Not an error, or an experimental planchet. Just damage. It's not worth keeping IMO
I'm no expert, but it looks off. Like it should have shine but it's just gray. I don't have any experience with these though, so take what I say...
It's a little on the heavy side, 0.12 grams above tolerance. I don't think it's worth anything though as they aren't very uncommon.
I can't see much in those photos
NGC is a very well known coin grading company and it is, for the most part, very trusted among most members here on CoinTalk. I have never sent...
I have already checked numista. It says no date where it would usually have it.
I have a standard "Carwash Token" and I have been trying to find sources that can give me the date that this was minted, or even a range of years...
Looks like a vice job. Not an error.
Whenever I see the edge of a Canadian quarter in roll searches, I always get excited thinking I may have found a silver quarter. Then I get...
Paper money with specific serial numbers are very sought after depending on how rare the note's serial number is. The example you have may yield a...
The first and last letters were removed I believe. It would have been a 190#. Grease filled die is a possibility though. But its too worn to give...
I can't tell for sure, but that doesn't look like MD to me. Could be a DDR. But I don't see any matches to that exact spot anywhere. Try to find...
Separate names with a comma.
