The "What are these coins?" contest.

And BTW: I would be happy to compete in the contest

Competition or not, free coin or not, I would love to see what I know and how many I can get without any research. I would attempt it if you just said, "Here is a coin test. Good luck."

 

Hey, new coin collector here. This contest sounds like a great idea. I love learning new things about coins but I don't know enough yet to participate in this contest. I replied to your post because you implied that you were knowledgeable about US coins and I have a 1977 US quarter that seems to have several errors and I am very interested to find out about it's possible worth and exactly what is wrong with it. If you have the time and knowledge would you mind if I emailed you some pictures?

 

I have competed in similar contests in both coins and notes. Learned a lot and had a great time doing it.

Would love to compete in another one.

 

I'm sure I could see if your '77 is a error or post-mint damage

 

OK thanks. I will try to upload the pictures

 

Looks like it went through the spin cycle. I usually see dimes like this. Sorry my friend but this is definitely PMD.

 

I don't know for sure but that could be struck out of its collar

 

It's a damaged coin.

 

Or a common mint error

 

Sorry but no.
