I would suspect the population MS-65s is much smaller than the population of PF-65s. Proof coins are made using special care whereas Business...
Customer Sues Walmart For A 'Humiliating Ordeal' At The Hands Of Two Employees Turn out the bills were genuine.
Ths spacing of the numerals in the date make me think a 1914 with an added mintmark is more likely than an altered 1944-D. Either way that is...
So is it a counterfeit or a genuine 1944-D altered to 1914-D?
I remember when I saw my first clad quarter. Before that all we had were silver quarters.
I assume this is a Lincoln Cent. Could you tell us the year and mintmark? A larger photo would also help. Your photo is pretty tiny.
Believe what you like but the Golden Dollars have a pure copper core with clad layers of manganese brass.

That is an incorrect use of the word 'cud'. A cud is formed at the time the coin is struck by a die where a piece of the edge has broken off. Your...
Looks like road rash.
That's right. Could have come from a game.
Ain't that the truth?! Why do people no use punctuation? It makes it nearly impossible to read their posts. I will usually skip over a long post...
A "non-metallic" penny??? What is it made of? Plastic?
What makes you think it is Proof? I see nothing that would indicate Proof. In fact, it looks AU and possibly cleaned.
That is ONE LONG PARAGRAPH. Sorry but I just could not get through it. If you hit ENTER at the end of a sentence every now and then it would make...
People cleaned coins long before 1981. No one said your father or you cleaned the coin. And, like others said, your coin is not a Proof.
I agree. Larger photos are needed. It is possible (perhaps likely) that the coin has either been spooned or spent some time in a commercial...
I concur.
You will get better response if you start a new thread for that question rather than asking it in a thread about a possible Proof Morgan Dollar.
