Re: 1982 small date?

This is a large date and it hasn’t been struck twice it has strike doubling, but it’s 100% a large date.

eBay isn’t a bad place to buy unless the coins are ungraded or you watch out for counterfeits or misleading auctions for supposed mint errors.

The hobby isn't dying and people who are asking that are in a minute minority who's opinion is greatly exaggerated because something didn't work out in their favor.

Re: Curious about this unique find..

You're setting yourself up for failure and a huge disappointment jumping to conclusions like this. I recommend looking up doubled struck coins and coin struck over by an other coin die. It's not a life changing coin even if your coin was one of these. It's so important to do research and educate you...

I see what you're looking at with the rim, and believe someone would need to see this firsthand
I am seeing an effect directly opposite on the rim.

Re: 1968 Lincoln Cent

If you look at any scratch or gouge with this much magnification you will see grooves, think glacial grooves. It also going to depend on what gouged your coin, but this didn't happen at the mint. Gouges in the die would be raised areas on the coin.

Re: Strike quality effect on early Lincoln grading

Looks like a partial or near clipped planchet. My recommendation is examining coins in higher grades to see the differences. It’s usually the amount of contact marks and where they’re at than anything else.

Re: 1988 P/1994 P Double headed nickel

For one it's impossible to have an authentic coin made like this, it can't happen at the US Mint. You got to understand the coin minting process and that there's only one two tailed nickel ever created during the US Mint history.

Re: 1804 Draped Bust Large Cent “Large 4” Discovery Coin?

I don't think you can tell the date and it's not going to matter, it's not going to be worth more and with this amount of wear and damage it's not going to be a variety.
