I think we are going to need higher quality pictures to properly assess your coin. Any die markers that would be on a genuine piece are too blurry...
Where did you acquire the coin? :)
looks to me like it's just scraped up. So yes, this would be PMD. As to value, it appears to be worth about 1 cent. :)
Looks drawn on to me. Some kid had fun with the markers :writer:. This is not an error. :)
You rarely see an offset printing error on the serial numbers. In fact this is one of the only other examples I have ever seen. I found a similar...
Nice note. Even in that condition it will still bring a good premium over face. :)
In my opinion I think that it would be wise to purchase this piece. In the future if you ever have the chance, upgrade it to a non-cleaned one....
It appears so, with all of the hair lines on it. I would wait for a better example if I were you. :)

It's a spender, sadly not an error. If I remember correctly there used to be an experiment in science class that was used to strip the copper...
My LCS is paying 2 cents each and selling for 3 cents each. They have large canvas bags full of them. I bought a bag of 10,000 almost a year ago...
It's neat to see the progression! Did you only find these two or did you stumble across more?
Looks like FS-108 to me. Nice find! (High quality photograph from PCGS) [ATTACH]
To me the details on this coin look suspicious. In my opinion this is likely a replica with a copper core that was plated with silver, over time...
Very nice! A keeper for sure. :happy:
MS-65 RD
Woah. You really are dedicated! That’s one nice coin!
I just quickly attributed the coin. 1856 Italic 56 N-14 die state B, R-1. Its a little bit harder to attribute the later date coins but this piece...
