PMD. The displaced metal on the rim is the giveaway.
Sorry, but over 200 Million 1970-S nickels were minted for circulation. 1968-S and 1969-S nickels were also minted for circulation
You should be able to do a google search on all of these. Most were sold by the mint to collectors. You will need some additional info from the...
The gaping mouth is very likely PMD. The raised areas at the top and right of each gouge are displaced metal and could only occur if the coin was...
One of the more interesting plating bubble defects I've seen in a while. If I got it in change, I would probably save it, but with the...
Sorry, but it suffered significant environmental damage after it left the mint. Maybe exposed to acid or some other corrosive material, which...
To @Cobra33. I agree with this comment. Some of the posts may appear harsh and are in a "should have known better" tone, but I'm sure 100% of...
It's hard for me to say for certain due to the polish and glare, but I also believe it's authentic. I know you didn't ask for opinions on...
I would try some acetone in the hope that the stuff around the Statue of Liberty is some organic residue. You should be able to get an idea...

Maybe you'll get an upgrade. :)
FYI: The marks on the neck, jawline, under the above IGWT and under the L in LIBERTY (and probably others). Upper Level MS grades are supposed to...
A good general rule: If you see something “different” on a coin with a lot of wear or damage, the unusual area is almost always related to the...
Coin Club attendance is a weird thing. I belonged to one in a major East Coast city that had been around since 1860 and there would only be 15-20...
There is a nice die break on the rev. Personally I would keep it, but it really doesn't add much to the value. Cool find, however
Wayne Sayles wrote a great 6 volume series on Ancients. I would STRONGLY recommend reading a few of them if you are interested in ancients but...
Wow. Let me know who gave you $25 for it. I have a 2016 Great Smokey Mt quarter with a filled P mm sitting on my desk. Most filled die errors...
Looks like it could be a strike through
That would probably be a good idea, and I would suggest you don't post "I will just challenge everyones sharp eyes to see if anyone can figure...
Separate names with a comma.
