Some might throw a grade at this but with that much toning it would be hypothetical without having the coin in hand and being able to see both sides.
It looks like a proof coin hiding under the haze. I have seen them misaligned. And if a proof, it should have full steps anyways. I really don't...
I have never studied VAM's or Large Cent varieties so I know very little about these series. Both collections have just been assembled by...
Artificial Toning would be the "details" designation, not a grade.
If it is a real 1993 D cent it should weigh 2.5 grams.
A lack of machine/press maintenance plus quality control. All of the "S" cents from 68-74 were problem children. The 72 P's were also a big...
A photo plus a weight in grams is needed. If indeed steel it would likely be a Mint employee contrivance.
I have never studied VAM's before. Any possibilities here and maybe with better photos?

No, but hit my shinny on the way down a few times!;)
Nothing in Ma. yet. Time to start looking for those RARE die cracks at the top left of the shield.;););)
This is actually very interesting in that how did someone acquire a die from 1967, supposedly in U.S. possession and strike a coin on a die in...
A nice old note to squirrel away cheaply.
After watching the overall dismal and plummeting Mint sales figures the past ten years, I believe they are over reaching for gimmicks that are...
I'm probably way out in the woods on this, but did we not strike coins here for the Phillipine's and then they took over at a later date? I'm not...
I also like #2 better. Nice.
I thought this was about pocket change. Do you really think anyone will, anytime soon find any of those early doubled die quarters? How about also...
I totally agree. And I'm getting rid of as many as I can from the bank boxes I have, just as fast as I can. Even the 2017 boxes I got are already...
Just wondering what you might be seeing. From my vantage point it looks like a normal cent.
Very nice! I think you may be getting a bit more cool weather from up this way. (maybe) I know most of our cold has followed the coastline and...
Separate names with a comma.
