It's the copper plating 'splitting' apart from the zinc core, due to the striking pressure during minting. Very common, and more of an anomaly...
The M and a few other letters are damaged, from contact with another coin or something else while it was in circulation. Not an error, not a...
PM98 nailed it. Not a D/S
Not a clip. It's a 'rim bump', possibly from the o/c coin getting jammed in a counting/rolling machine.
Joe, although I see the difference you mention, I've seen plenty like this one...maybe a different type of acid or ? Looks fairly typical to me.
Look at the rim to the right of the "S" The Mintmark has a 'hit' or contact mark on it, probably from the same event that caused the rim hits.
Looks like a lamination from what I can see. And, as mentioned, it's a small date, and has a blob (minor die chip) in the B of Liberty and...
Unusual label. It's been de-plated (PMD)
Wow
It's stained, after it was in circulation. Not an error, imo. It has a typical strike for that date - as mentioned, worn/overused dies. All...
I'm sorry, but in addition to not being able to see anything that resembles 9 strikes, I don't even see any mechanical or ejection doubling on it....
Sounds like it's more than 75% o/c based on the description. As mentioned, that's a fair retail price, even for raw. Yes, you can try to make an...
It's been struck thru a very thin, late-stage die cap. Nice find for a pocket change look !
Isn't this a 2nd thread on the OverStrike Flying Eagle Cent? There is absolutely nothing wrong with your 1999 cent, except for some corrosion...
I would value a 75% off center anything over a 90% off center anything - More design showing is more desirable, once you get to those percentage...
That's a fair retail price. (without seeing the actual coin)
It's either a minor lamination in the area of the '8', or a stain.
Their nick-name is 'RailRoad Rim' due to it's similarity in look to a train wheel. Many times, they are the result of not just the planchet not...
Glad to see the word I've been using here is applied to this coin. It's one of the best examples of Pareidolia I've ever seen !
It's a genuine Nickel that's been 'machined' on the reverse, and two globs of solder have been added to it. It did not leave the US Mint like that.
Separate names with a comma.
