Good reading. Thank you.
What happened in 2004 that changed the TPGs?
I've found many 2009-D's in circulation. I've never found the 2009-P though. I stopped saving the 2009's. As far as dimes go, I had a few rolls of...
I watch eBay as well, and I agree that OGH and rattlers are typically priced higher than their "doily" blue counterparts. I too have been told...
A parking lot can create damage like that, but usually at some point the coin sticks to a tire and flips over.
Wow they used that die until there was nothing left. Very cool find that the OP has, and thanks for the pictures of the die state progression-...
Yes. I find dimes that look just like that with my metal detector all the time. They retain their detail from the day they were dropped but...
I'm of the opinion that it's a MS-66 coin. Looks like it has nice surfaces, but a little bit of a weak strike, particularly on the reverse.
It didn't take too long for this thread to hit two pages. Before I read all the posts, I tried to match the unique marks on the original with the...
There is not scratch on the neck- Its a reflection from my camera lanyard. In person, the spotting around the rim is reb, blue, and brown. The...
Can you tell me more? I do not know what 'LC-80D-1' is. Thank you.
To meet minimum submission requirements lol. I have some cameo dimes from the 50's to submit as well, and needed a 5th coin. Submitting to TPG is...
Looks like a sqeeze job - post mint damage. The rim looks flattened on the obverse, and there looks to be marks from vice grips on the reverse edges.
What are your thoughts as to grade, appearance, possible value? I've had this example since 1991, and it is beginning to get red and blue toning...
1988 A is a very common series, and there are alot of them out there. Yours has a lot of circulation and does not have any additional value...
Howdy and welcome to CT. I don't see any errors on that particular shilling, but I do see post-mint damage. It looks like a parking lot coin,...
Updated images I've been playing with the digital camera and got some better pictures of the cents in this now three week old post. They are...
Check it out- my first circulation find of a cud. It was about the only thing interesting in an otherwise horrible box. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
When I first saw this thread yesterday, that was my first throught - improper alloy mixing. However, I do not know enough about the v-nickels to...
Something eroded the copper core. The copper is softer than the cupro-nickle clad layers, so it will erode quicker in an acid bath, at the beach,...
