1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list).

DD error on Wheat?...

#1 Unread post by typeviic »

I have what seems to be a DD error on a 1943-S, Steel Wheat on the date and mint mark. Zinc coating is complete w/no rust or wear. Think this is a good specimen to send to NGC or ANACS?

We can't tell you if a coin is worth sending off for grading when you can see the entire coin, must also first determine if it's actually a variety. So you don't put the cart before the horse.
