COIN Help U Community

Counterstamps do not come from the US Mint so it is always going to be damage to the coin and most will not add any value.

Worth one cent

Daniel

It is an impaired proof, since it's been mishandled. I can't see much from that, you will see a lot of reflections in proof coins.

If you find a strange coin in change then it is damaged. Look for doubled dies not strange coins.

Daniel

You need to use a price guide. A price guide tells you what a coin is worth and so do sold ebay auctions.

Daniel

Without an image we can't help much.

Daniel

Yep, this can happen.

Daniel

No one an tell you if it's worth it, you just have to take that chance on your own.

Daniel

It's not a proof so it can't be an accented hair.

I agree

Daniel

I would learn about coin grading and their value before learning about the grading companies and which would make you more money.

Daniel

I think it looks a little off myself, but we're looking at images.

Daniel

It's been exposed to corrosive chemicals like an acid. It's worth face value.

Daniel

Go to Google or ebay and type in what's on the coin to search for it.

Until a coin is graded NO FG then no one can be sure, also if the date and mint isn't known for this then it's going to be called "struck with a filled die".

Daniel

Daniel

It's worn down and unless it's silver it's only worth face value. Please use ebay sold auctions to look up what coins go for.

Daniel

It's a T2 mint mark. Good buy

Daniel

Very common plating blisters, you see these on cents all the time.

Daniel

It's not a die crack but a slight delamination. Go to error-ref.com and look up die cracks and delamination.

Daniel

It's been exposed to a corrosive chemical, so this is post mint damage.

Daniel

Yes, it is. I can tell you if it's worth grading, only you can tell and you can look up what value they are in each grade and compare that with the grading fees and such.

Daniel

Use ebay sold auctions to see what your coin is worth

This is cause by extreme heat

Welcome!

I agree with earle and I don't recommend selling at ebay.

Daniel

You need to buy a 2021 Red Book Price guide and use a photograde app. Stop using Google to look up coins.

Daniel

I agree, often the mint didn't properly adjust the dies on coins. Also grease filled die strikes often prevented the details from being struck properly.

Daniel

Just toning and some design changes.

It's called an impaired proof and this happens when a proof coin ends up in circulation, which happens a lot. Rolls searchers find these all the time and I buy them in collections in my shop.

It is a damaged coin and worth much less than a problem free proof.

Daniel

Even the coin grading companies break their own standards but even at FS nickels need to grade really high to be worth much money.

Daniel

Very common die chips.
