Re: 1977 Lincoln no mint mark, any value?
Not to diminish your enthusiasm but any coins with damage (like the two posted so far) will not be worth much more than face value. Damage on coins, referred to as PSD (Post Strike Damage), is not an error. The "large" nose on Lincoln is the result of the zinc core under the copper platin...

Re: 1975 Kennedy Half? (It grabs your attention!)
BTW- There were NO U.S. halves minted with 1975 on them.
(Some for 1976 were minted in 1975 for the 1976 Bicentennial.)

Re: Could I get some advice on coins please.
They are interesting but the "cowlick" appears to be raised metal from something (half-moon shape) striking the coin at an angle and pushing it up. The filled B is a die chip. The more time you spend searching the more of these you will find, especially in the '50's. As the dies age, the l...

Re: 1946s imm-001 FS#501 Inverted MM
Thanks, Daniel and sorry about the abbreviation ave13co. I get in a rush sometimes and forget newer members may not be as familiar with some abbreviations.
ave13co, did you get a chance to follow the links and see the different mintmark styles in use over the years?

Re: 1939 S RPM-001 S/S Northeast Stage B
Excellent post and images with markers. Some people don't care for colorful toning but many more covet them. Here is VV LINK to 1939s RPM-001 and you did a great job of pointing out the markers. There is a lot of information on the site and you are probably familiar with it since you knew the marker...

Re: 1939 S RPM-001 S/S Northeast Stage B
You're welcome. Not to split hairs but you found a nice variety as opposed to an error. Error would be like a double struck, off-center, brockage, etc. and tend to be similar but not exactly alike if duplicates are produced. Varieties are exactly alike (except for any deviation due to die wear or de...

I agree with Daniel but will add that ANACS will attribute coins based on the variety attribution you list on the request form. And there are other controversial varieties that have been demoted on one site but remain on another or is only listed on one site. 1956 D/S comes to mind. Coopercoins has ...

Re: What did I just find/noticed in this 2.23 grams 1953 penny?
Infamouserrors, the weight is within mint tolerances. To me any lines on the date or LIBERT look like hits from PSD. There is a discrepancy between your title (2.23 grams) and the weight you gave on an internal reply (3.23 grams), but did mention "overweight". I almost didn't catch that my...

Re: This stinks
This might make you feel better. happydance: ... Or not? All 1988's have a wide A M. It is the shape and position of the designers initials (G) on the RDV-006 that is the bugger to find.

I hate to break it to you but all 1988's are wide AM. Nothing special about a wide AM. It is designer's initials on the 1988 P&D RDV-006 that is valuable, which is most noticeable on the designers initials. (RDV stands fo Reverse Design Varieties.) The sites really confuse everyone by keeping th...

Initials are the definitive way to tell when there is a question on the AM. Sometimes plating blisters and other things can affect the visual perception of the spacing. I...

Don't give up yet. The plating, bubbling, and blistering can appear to alter the design. The Lincoln Cent Resouce has a good comparison image of the two. Here is the LINK.

I would say yes because of the way some of the design is visible between missing letters.

Re: 1959 Lincoln Memorial Cent - Plain Obverse, Totally Obliterated Reverse? Weird Coin
Nice coin. Did you find it in change? I agree it is struck through a capped die (late stage). Usually, the obverse die is the one that gets capped, but with your coin, it is the reverse die that got capped, probably by an un-ejected coin. Three dies are involved in the minting of coins. The hammer d...
