what are these then from your knowledge,i dont mean to be a dumb edit:language rules. to you guys but i really thought the dime was a great find i appologize if i have offened anybody
The dime is a discolored coin, and the cent is what is called a vise job, it has been squeezed between two other coins and least one of which was a cent and the obv shows evidence that it was squeezed at least twice.
Good turn-around. Even if the coin isn't something rare and special, keep looking. Do you collect anything in particular?
Okay, he said calmly. [For those who know me this is not easy.] 1) considering your self professed expertize, FYI: there ain't no such term as "the dime is double died to hell or something" The proper term if you mean the same thing is doubleD die, I have never seen a dead coin "died". 2) shouting will get you no where, but being polite and attempting to communicate will. 3) try again
I already explained all this to him in the start of the thread.. But he didn't want to accept anything I said.
He didn't have the cent pictures at the start of the thread. (Unless he removed them before I got here.) And the dime in the most recent pictures is a different one than in the pictures at the start of the thread.
As stated, the original dime is environmental damage, the cent is intentionally damaged, and the second dime appears to be toned. Nothing there worth more than face value. Listen to the folks around here and you can learn a lot.
Great finds aren't that easy. It's what makes them "great finds". There are a lot of young people (we know - jus' sayin') who don't stop and think "Wow, how odd would it be that I would make a 'great find' right from the get-go? Must be something common." You'll be right 999 times out of a thousand if you adopt that thought process. If you want to be sure not to miss the incredibly lucky find, fine, just set it aside for later study rather than go all "I found the ultimate!" I even have a little 2x2 file box marked "For further study."
Take a breath man, these guys know what they are talking about. I have been collecting for about 5 or 6 years and have worked with a guy who has been collecting for about 50 years and I don't know a fraction of what some of these people know. Sometimes they may seem a little harsh, but you have to have a little thick skin. They like to mess with you sometimes, but things are probably as they say they are. Take it to your local coin shop or numismatist and ask them,a lot easier to see than a picture. Have a good day!
I do not think your crazy, but where you seeing doubling? The color in my opinion is from environmental exposure or a reaction with a chemical.
If you feel it is worth whatever Extra Value Place on it then send it into a third-party grated to be evaluate Sent from my C6740N using Tapatalk
