Re: 1939 Nickel - odd?
It's been circulated and it's been stuck in a bezel for jewelry or something similar. Technically a damaged coin, as the bezels tend to leave marks behind once they're taken off.

Re: 1969 PENNY no mint mark, reverse A filled in, in States mint error
Please do not report admins for helping. You mentioned no mint mark in your title, that is a misnomer, it’s a Philadelphia mint. Too many people are using no mint mark erroneously so we always try to educate. This "No Mintmark" has become an out-of-control fad in the online auction sites!...

Re: 2018-D Block Island Quarter, possible cud error?
The "C" is incuse, so the field surrounding the "C" is higher. An impact (post-mint damage) to this field will not affect the "C" underneath unless it penetrates enough metal first. If you look closely at the lower end of the "C" you can see the mark runs acr...
