Earle the AI you're using wouldn't be the same as one for grading coins. AI coin grading would have thousands of already graded coins in a data base and eventually a baseline would slowly develop of each grade. So when a like coin is entered it would give it a grade and reject or regrade those that ...

Close AM.

The numbers are incuse and this mark isn't under the letters, it's in between the letters and this is a scratch. A couple other people posted this here in the past.

Daniel

Ad hominin attacks is how you get banned. No one was rude to you at all.

Daniel

Post mint damaged, it might have had some struck through issues but the coin is too far worn.

Daniel

Strike doubling.

Daniel

I agree.

Daniel

All you have to do is reply here and post more images, you don't have to start a new topic.

Daniel

It's from the edge of another nickel. If you look at your change you will see they have a lot of contact marks.

Daniel

What makes you think it could be a candidate for grading? Do you own or use a coin price guide? The coin is worth less than the fees for grading.

Daniel

I don’t agree. We need the bad to know what good is but to educate ourselves so we don’t get involved in the bad. All of the pros and cons of this hobby show it’s a healthy hobby. For example, why is no one creating fake beanie babies? Because it lost its healthy market and value, so the more cons y...

Looks like a substance on your coin, acetone might remove it, but as we ask in our rule, we need images of the coin outside of the holder unless it's already professionally grade or its in government packing.

Daniel

It’s a great topic and I appreciate it!!!

Daniel

No way to really answer you questions since we didn’t see the coin before it was graded. We can’t determine exactly what is going on with the coin using images. Why not ask the dealer? He had it in that bin for a reason.

Daniel

It’s not an error but contact post mint damage.

Daniel

I would need better images at different angles.

Daniel

I agree. A Reeded coin got the edge of this coin.

Daniel

I agree, glue or some substance.

Daniel

Yeah, what is the question, what error do you think it is?

Daniel

Please don’t mention members names in titles. We ask in our guidelines to list the date, mint, and coin type and something about your coin.

Daniel

I see a scratch also.

Daniel

I agree, heavy wear and marks from circulation.

Daniel

I agree, glue.

Daniel

It’s a polished business strike, you can tell by some of the original luster inside the numbers and letters.

Daniel

I agree, vice job using another coin.

Daniel

This is a normal weight for a coin with this circulation.

Daniel

This is a post mint compression damage and is either corroded or has pits in the reverse.

Daniel

This coin has an obverse delamination and environmental damage, so it’s not worth sending off.

Daniel

Paul is correct, your seeing something post mint.

Daniel

The edge has been post mint rolled flat so it’s not an error.

Daniel

I recommend using Heritage sold auctions but it’s really all guesswork based on a similar, already sold out examples.

Daniel

Nope, the cost of grading is worth more than the coin. I recommend using a coin price guide.

Daniel

Looks like a delamination that has worn down from circulation.

Here's a video I did on this subject.

Daniel

True view images are not an accurate description of a coin 80% of the time. Also, you can download larger images to share here. Your image here isn't large enough to be certain why PCGS thought it was questionable.

Daniel

I will respond to this, but like Earle said, we only want one coin per topic. Thanks.

You didn't do anything wrong and we're looking at images. Maybe try to send them to another company or have someone examine in hand, they're nice coins, but some are questionably toned.

Daniel

Welcome to the community!

We can tell you that, the restoration is a consultation service first, they determine if it can be conserved so this question cannot be answered here. It takes lots of education, experience and seeing a coin in hand for conservation.
