You've posted photos (or someone has) of your cents, and we've all called them as plated novelty items, done after the left the Mint - Yes, take...
This 70-S cent close-up photo is a great example to show as ejection/mechancial doubling. There is no separation of the digits in the doubling,...
You don't have to use an emery cloth; take a razor blade, and just put a cut into the edge of the coin. You'll see the copper in the thin 'cut'.
I didn't do the photos or attributions on most of them. BJ Neff did all of that - I just, for the most part, sent him a few hundred Cuds to be...
It doesn't look raised (on the reverse area noted), but if it is, it's probably due to the damage that was caused to the reverse die when the...
Sorry, but it's plated. Not an error of any type.

Yes, at a coin show I will be glad to view coins there, and give my opinion. I do not, and cannot, provide that service thru the mail. I fully...
If it's 'one of a kind', isn't it worth $100 to be certain, and certified? If not, you've got a bunch of people here who are very willing to...
In my opinion, the 'threads' you see were not on the coin when it was struck. As someone mentioned in the other thread, if you took a Q-tip to...
Yes, you can pay certification fees for your error coins to PCGS or NGC or ANACS. We were just trying to help save you possible submission...
An electronic microscope won't help.
I'll be glad to view photos, but do not mail the coins to me.
Post good clear photos of both sides of the four coins, and we'll take a look..... (no offense to you, and I'm sure you're disappointed, but...
Yes - don't know for certain, but that's what most of the cut-down coins were used for like that --- there were other purposes too, but we can...
Now THAT's environmental damage !
There's enough 'new' ones there already !
