Too heavy to be on a canadian quarter planchet and the mint stopped coining for other countries in 1984. Too heavy to be struck on a nickels...
Maybe, but is seems to me that if you do something to it that you know will render it unfit for reissue then the intent is there as well.
It appears to be the overdate so I would say it is probably S-152. (No I didn't really try to attribute it.) Here's one of mine, sorry the image...
What Marshall mentioned about the breaks on the reverse (up to the left of the fraction causing the die to sink and the fraction to disappear, and...
How about the British proof gilt copper farthings, half pence and pence of the late 18th early 19th century? They came from the mint that way. :)...

Definitely S-174
It depends on how fast you need to turn them to recover your money. Today the pace is much slower than it was back in late 79/early80. Today you...
No they were not pre-sales, the coins were actually delivered to the buyers well before the "official" release date. The whole point is to NOT...
I would agree S-133. 132 and 133 can be hard to tell apart in low grade. The first 7 is lower on the 133 with the top of the 7 being at the same...
I see I never answered Eduard's question from last year. No I don't have the 1796 NC's, the only NC's I own are the 1802 NC-1 and NC-2, and the...
No just a report that "a new Lincoln cent design is being released today in honor of Lincoln's Birthday."
