COIN Help U Community

I just talked with my friend Greg, he was a dealer I befriended at the shows, but he is now a coin grader for NGC. Here is what he said. So please drop the fake news references. It’s ironic he mentioned 30 seconds, maybe more, but still, this is being said all across the industry. I know a lot of co...

Daniel

I agree, acid damaged.

Daniel

When someone states they don’t trust their dealers but don’t know the coin minting process nor what a proof is, then I decline to help. The dealers are telling you the truth, but for that you mistrust them or you assume they can’t be trusted. No cool. Just ask about your coins. Thanks

Daniel

This was cause by angled contact that damaged the I.

Daniel

I agree, but in addition looks like plating issues.

Daniel

Please do NOT post your coin twice. You already got help for this coin the day before. Thanks

Daniel

No, it’s post mint environmental damage.

Daniel

Glad you weighed it.

Daniel

It’s been cleaned in the past.

Daniel

This is my coin I bought in a collection, I was just using it as an educational piece and to show I have this coin in my hand and it is indeed NOT a variety or mint error.

Daniel

My coin here, I own it and just using it for educational purposes, it is not listed at ebay. This is how it starts at ebay, someone finds a coin like this and think that the mouth area had to happen during the coin minting process. This person will not accept anything but what they think and they p...

"The "30 Second Coin Grading Claim" to be FAKE NEWS." Quote Eztocoin As I told you, it depends on the coin. Larger coins take less than 30 seconds, some coins require more time, but it's not going to be several minutes. I know this for a fact, it's NOT fake news. You can take it ...

Daniel

I agree, environmental damage.

Daniel

Your scales might be rounding up from 2.5 grams. Does it weigh in tenths? I use a jeweler's scale.

Daniel

I too have talked to coin graders, one is still working at NGC, others have worked for both, some are now dealers. It is a fact they spend less than a half minute on common coins. It can be verified.

Daniel

You can't restore copper cents, if you do then they will be considered damaged or questionable and will not grade straight. Acetone will not hurt, but acetone only removes PVC residue, tape or glue.

Daniel

Do you really know the difference between a die gouge, Struck Through or scratch? Many people don't know and this video will help explain it.

Daniel

Daniel

Coins tone and wear differently and can tone in several different hues and colors, nothing about this coin leads me to think it's special in any way. The surface was more than likely messed with or was exposed to something to cause this.

Daniel

I do not see a doubled ear or hair in the images provided.

Daniel

No it does not but no one can tell you insider PCGS secrets unless they work there, I don't care if one has sent a million coins to PCGS for grading, you still would be guessing unless you worked for PCGS.

Daniel

I agree, tiny die chips and found often on coins.

Daniel

It's a common occurrence called a collar die clash https://coinauctionshelp.com/collar-die ... int-error/

Daniel

You can't melt them and if you've already searched them for varieties and know what you're looking for, then there would be no reason to keep them.

Daniel

It's best to send them off to be certain.

Daniel

Welcome and thanks for your support and business!!

Daniel

I agree, potentially cleaned. However if you’re just wanting it in a holder then it shouldn’t make a difference. The coin, cleaned or not, isn’t going to be worth the grading fees. I recommend using the grading companies price guide to make this decision.

Daniel

Volume 1 is supposed to come out for the ANA show.

Daniel

We ask that you post one coin per topic but you should send them to ANACS if you have doubts.

Daniel

This is artificial, it is rare to find a natural toned Peace Dollar.

Daniel

It is a die crack. Die cracks are very common just in case you’ve heard otherwise.

Daniel

Plating disturbance.

Daniel

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...

Daniel

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...

I agree but also some post mint damage.

Daniel

It's a large date.
