I will also add, be the change you want to see. If you don’t like how a topic is answered then answer it the way you think it should be and live and let die with the other members who don’t do it your way. I would personally like to see more than “Cull” as an answer but I’ve also made my own short a...

It is technically a mint error but it’s extremely common to see plating blisters.

Daniel

I agree, this is a counterfeit coin and error.

Daniel

It does look like a scratch but even a strike though like this wouldn’t add value. You want a strike through to look like an identifiable object.

Daniel

As I’ve always said, you can’t expect people to know what you know. People struggle with terms when they don’t know them or heard them before, so we have to assume they’ve never seen the word before and offer a description just in case. I know a lot of people who don’t know what cull is let alone th...

??? What happened?

Daniel

I agree but also some post mint damage.

Daniel

It's a large date.

Daniel

There's no sparkles on coins, this is normal for modern nickels and struck through a light film of grease.

Daniel

It's a post mint counterstamp.

Daniel

When a coin is missing this much metal it will weigh less.

Daniel

Post mint gash.

Daniel

Solder on this coin would cause heat damage as well.

Daniel

I agree, this is post mint damaged.

Daniel

It's not silver, doesn't weigh silver planchet weight, it's zinc planchet with copper plating artificially removed.

Daniel

This is a linear plating blister.

Daniel

I agree with Earle but in addition this coin could easily be heavily corroded as well.

Daniel

Nothing wrong with therapeutic hobbies, but the odds of finding a cent worth enough to leave to your kids is like buying scratch off lottery tickets, actually your odds are better with scratch offs if you like winning $1 or $2 on a regular basis, but loosing a little more from buying that many ticke...

I am locking this topic, but approved so I can tell you this, you must post one coin at a time, front and back and ask a specific question about your coin. We can't help you with vague posts, asking about multiple coins. Thanks

Daniel

Love all these coins and posts! Thanks for sharing everyone.

Daniel

Ezetocoin I wish I could agree but I and the variety and mint error experts at CONECA and dealers all over the country has seen too many errors to accept they use such data or their graders and this good. They look at coins too fast, and get paid bonuses for how many coins that passes through their ...

Daniel

High amounts of heat or electrical current or caustic chemicals, cause no one can be sure unless they were there when it happened.

Daniel

It’s a Philadelphia Mint when there’s no mint mark and we need better images.

Daniel

This is post mint damage and would need better images either way.

Daniel

This is a badly post mint corroded and damaged coin.

Daniel

Cut with cutters post mint.

Daniel

I agree, post mint damaged.

Daniel

I agree, worth one cent.

Daniel

These are not rare, the mintage was spread out among the different designs but millions were made of each design for this year.

Daniel

This is not on a dime planchet, this is a badly corroded cent. It has what is called zinc rot because cents are copper plated zinc.

Daniel

It looks like it but die cracks are very common to find on coins.

Daniel

You're seeing the normal appearance of the coin's surface, the dies will have striations as well as become rough from over-use, so when they strike a coin, they impart pin pricks of metal that reflect light in several directions. It is one way to determine the state and stage of the die's condition....

Daniel

Yes, and even less than spot, most world issues are low mintage but if they don’t have corresponding demand it means very little.
You can buy graded type coins at shows, coin shops or reputable online dealers.
It would be a waste of money to have them graded.

Daniel

1864 L have a pointed bust and a No L have a rounded bust.

Daniel

It’s not a doubled die but my recommendation is using varietyvista.com and look up your coin date and denomination to learn what doubled dies look like on your coins.

Daniel

I saw this, if your coin is natural toned they will favor it, from what I am seeing.

Daniel

Daniel

This is a post mint substance that can be removed using acetone.

Daniel

It says God, not Cod. Contact marks on letters don't change what they are.

Daniel

We need to see the entire coin and pictures of a microscope screen will not do it. We can see the coin well enough because of the lines and lack of clarity.
