Sorry but it looks like a normal dime that is tarnished. BTW, modern dimes are not "plated". They are clad which means they have three layers -...
It may have spent some time in a rock tumber.
Who says the slab is worth something? Let's say I have a very worn 1970 Washington Quarter that might grade F-12. If I had it slabbed would you...
I based my observation on your photos. The lighting made it appear like a lamination. Can you take additional photos with the light source moved...
Looks like a planchet defect rather than a die crack to me. Possibly a partial lamination.
It certainly looks fake but it is impossible to tell from your photos. Can you post larger photos (and orient them correctly)?
An arrest has been made and a good deal of the material recovered. It may not have been exactly an "inside job" but the suspect had prior business...
No problem. We are not born with this knowledge. If you plan to collect error coins you should learn how coins are made so you will understand the...
It is worth face value but your coin has no numismatic value. Error collectors (perhaps I should say most error collectors) do not collect damaged...
dsmith is correct. You will no longer be able to obtain the new Prez Dollars at your bank because the coins will not be struck for circulation....
That sucks, Marshall. Did you have any of your data backed up?
Squeeze job. Notice how the raised rims of the other coins were pressed into your coin creating depressions on the obverse and reverse.
Nope, it is not a cud. It looks like something hit the rim and damaged it. Sorry.
Ditto. Larger photos will be needed for anyone to be able to help you.
kim&brad, The moderators usually prefer that you start only one thread per topic.
I don't roll search halves but I do like to pick up halves at the bank every now and then. I get the typical reactions when I spend them. One...
I can't see the forest for the trees in those overexposed, blurry, distorted photos. Could you take some good photos of the coin rather than all...
Acid bath? Sandblasted? I don't know. But it is certainly PMD (post-Mint damage).
Better photos (preferrably not overexposed) would be helpful. Based on your description it sounds like the zinc core has been exposed after the...
Thanks for the correction. For some reason I can't always remember whether 1968 was the last year of the old master hub or the first year of the...
Separate names with a comma.
