That '05 Quarter appears to be laminated with PVC.

 

Im not sure all i know is they put lamination error

 

dot above i! OMG! that company does not know what a plating blister is!

 

What is a plating blister and is it a mint error either way it looks cool cause it makes it look like its a lower case i

 

NCGS? How much did this company charge you??? I don't agree with most of these

 

It's nothing NGC or PCGS would attribute as a Mint Error.

 

10 bucks a coin

 

The dot above i is like a cud i forget what its called when its not on the rim butlime extra blob of die or metal

 

It's called a Die Chip. A CUD involves the Rim. But on your Cent I am not sure. It's a plated Cent and most of the time they are plating bubbles. The use of the word "dot" is not used in Mint Error attribution except on Canadian Mint Errors.

 

Here is a learning experience. Find a good grading book with photos, your money will be well spent if you get a good one. Then take each and every one of your slabbed coins and seriously look for marks, dings, etc. Try not to attribute any of those to errors, etc. Make your own scorecard, and on the basis of those and any wear or general lack of luster or luster marks, assign what you would think the coin should grade.
I won't say your grade would mirror the major tpgs grading, but it might give you an idea that grades should accurately reflect the coin.

I have not taken a close look at any of these you are showing to criticize any one in particular. But my not being familiar with this company.... meaning I would not likely purchase one of their slabbed coins without a very hard look at the coin, there is a very visible red flag I see... That is that there is a 1984D Jefferson Nickel that is graded a MS70. I would be really surprised if there are absolutely no imperfections on that coin that should hold it back from that grade by at least 4 points.... Nickels coming from the mint generally take at least a couple hit marks on them and are super easy to have something mar the surface.

 

I think that your $160 could have been spent in a much wiser fashion had you asked here first.

Just my honest opinion; no offense intended.

 

I never heard of NCGS.. But I would never send anything to a PO Box

P. S. Everyone who seriously collects or collects maybe not so seriously, but over a long period of time, will have their learning experiences. Pretty much inevitable. On the bright side, most coin collectors do better at avoiding cumulatively $$$ negative experiences than, say, those whose hobby is buying collectors plates from the Franklin Mint or wherever. And to gain experience, it is difficult to avoid anything you have to chalk up to a learning experience.

 

If you take the time to do your own grading on these, then take really good pics of your coins and post here on CT.... and ask members to grade them. Many here are really good at that and it will depend on how good you can get the pics. Many here are extremely helpful to learn.

 

I can't really make out anything from your photos.

They are too out of focus and not close enough for an old fart like me.

thanks for posting though.

 

"1976 half dollar clad thin letters" ???

 

Horrendous photos. And I doubt if any of them are actual errors.

 

Hopefully your purchase of these
at an average of $10 each will be
a learning experience.

 

ANACS's mailing address for coins is a PO box also.... So, I'm not quite sure I'm getting your gist. That said... at $12/coin starting price for modern US coins, ANACS would have been a much better option.
