Are you awake?
Are you looking around?

:eureka:
I have found doubled die sewer caps,
doubled die street light post base covers,
doubled building signage,
doubled die storm sewer curb cuts,
.........It's all around you, just keep your eyes open ........

Paul

Welcome

..... What type of imaging device are you using?

Paul

Thank you,
Video is not necessary, what you are seeing is common die plugging…

Looking closely at your images, this coin also looks to have undergone some type of compression,
.....resulting in the flattening of the main device on the obverse and the semicircular indentation on the reverse.

Daniel

Yes, your coin is spendable.

Not sure about the Ear but I think the doubling you see might be just " Die Deterioration Doubling " .

Daniel

I think you should send this to Paul to look at.

Paul

Sorry,
I was out of commission for a few days with a bad back....... I'm here now.....
Let me take a more in depth look at your images........ if I need to see it I will contact you ......

My interest in coins started when someone gave me a bunch of buffalo nickels, also know as Indian heads(as I found out later through Numismatics stuff). This was back in April 2020. So I'm trying to purchase coins on ebay and Amazon. I just can't figure out what the it means if the coin was "fi...

Welcome. Ok thanks .

Daniel

No, the mint produced business strike coins with an S mint mark in 1970. So this is normal.

Paul

This is a simple common "Plating Issue"......

Daniel

I agree with the above statement.

I agree. As a kid I used to save them just b/c they had an S mint mark (1968, 1969, and 1970 had S mint circulation strikes). And that was when a nickel would buy something...so I lost money keeping them stored away for the past 50 years LOL!

Earle42

I agree

Welcome. I’m not even close to an expert, but it appears you have 2 different coins posted? One large and one small date?
The weight is right at 2.5 grams for either.
Normally it’s easier if you post one coin per post or it gets confusing for the experts (and dummies like me) to give advice.

mikev50

the 1982d small date copper--weight 3.1 grams--is the real deal--the two you posted are just common--keep searching and good luck---

Just thought I'd share a pocket find . Had this one for some time. Nice toning as you can see.

..." Your winning item will match the quality of the product shown. "

In other words they do NOT have the coin shown! No doubt picture stolen from the Internet. If they have a legit PCGS or NGC coin they will show the holder and serial number.

Paul

Coin Roll Crimper Indentation/Scrape ..... ??

Paul

I do not see a match here with images that you have posted......

mikev50

no imo--the doubling on the ear lobe is not the right size---looks like a hit--

Earle42

Sorry, but I agree with Paul and Mike. Keep looking!

SensibleSal66

Are you referring to the dark spots ? It's apparently PMD or Post Mint Damage . JMO

Paul

I do not see any die clashing in your images as they are posted…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp7DEJ5Vzmc&t=332s I watched this vid last week. Got on ebay and ordered a inexpensive version of the light (charges from USB - 3 brightness settings). Mine was 3.99, but I see the auction now says 4.99 and free shipping - so do some searching on eBay: Copy and p...

Thanks Everybody

Plating Issue?

Plating issues

Paul

May I ask what "Nudging" is please?

Paul

Die Deterioration

Daniel

I agree.

Mike2000

1935-P Buffalo nickel; can't tell if this has been cleaned or if it's just wear. Black gunk under FIVE CENTS, USofA, 1935 & LIBERTY.

Paul

Scratch?, I would be better images to give you a 100% here

I will have Daniel send you my information

Earle42

My initial thoughts are a die crack since it is raised. Please keep us informed.

Daniel

It's a scratch and the metal is raised on one side of this because the "pushed" metal has to go somewhere.

I just wanted to share a Pic from a Secret Santa that i joined . This is a nice example of a fully toned coin . Here's my 1979 Susan B. Anthony $1 . Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays . Comments Welcome .
