Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here

Sorry, just glue on a coin. See how the lettering is backwards on the one area? Two pennies were glued together and then one was removed. The glue residue retained the design, but backwards. Acetone would likely remove it.

As Paul said, it would need the S mint mark to be a proof form this year. The pics make it look polished to me.

I see what you mean about the matte finish being in the shelf like area. Good observation! My guess (please note that word) is that the finish was put on by vapor blasting (if the mint still uses this method), which would therefore cover the entire face of an already minted coin. But I do not know t...

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D Sorry but this is just post mint damage and nothing the hobby would collect/value. Most odd looking coins are just post mint damage. A lot of people are mislead by online clickbait videos and tons of worthless eBay auctions wrongly being sold as rare...

Are the teeners a different obverse die than the 1940s/50s ones? If memory serves, I think I once read the dates of when master dies were changed with Lincoln pennies. I know by looking at a 1968 and then later Lincooln penny OBV you can see an obvious difference. But I don't remember the other one...

I found this gem , now I really have a good one here I can't figure out what coins it was pressed with or struck thru this penny , so please help me decipher this one ,ty Sorry. To save yourself a lot of disappointment, when you find something odd, realize that the very few legitimate coin errors o...

Earle42

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D See all of the scratches you introduced to the coin? This is exactly what coin collectors look for to know a coin had been cleaned and therefore devalued. Another thing that coin collectors would notice is the coloring has been altered. The color is ...

How about a twist on this? Here is a fake photographed in sunlight to show how easy these can be, sometimes, to tell they are fake. This is a cast copy as shown by the pitted surface. But in hand the pits do not show up well unless lit like this. In an album this would pass non-careful inspection: 1...

Just environmental staining on the surface.

Hi guys! It's yet another argument between my boyfriend and myself.....😵‍💫🤯 I say NO this coin is NOT the FS802, he says it is. He's driving me insane. Please help. He won't believe me when I tell him the notches HAVE to be there on the bottom of the 'N' in United, just like the example shows. That...

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D Ditto on what Paul said...both cases. :D BTW, Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mi...

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D I agree. Just hit and damaged.

Excellent and informative post.

Always one of my favorite Canadian half dollars. Thanks for sharing.

Grading...please see the PM I sent you concerning using the companies without losing money.

Earle42

I have never seen one that was too long. Typically currency is held to tight tolerances. But I don't know enough about the currency hobby to say value.

Earle42

I agree. Or else plated such as in these sets banks used to give away for free when opening a savings account (when I was a kid):

Muchas arigato amigo! I appreciate the clarification. Boy that y in Sytler sure is a mess! The spelling meant it had to be a vowel (or like a vowel), but I totally missed it could be a y. I never would have seen that y as an n. If handwritten I also may have seen it as a malformed h, but that made n...

Hello, is this a die error? Sorry but since you say "rainbow" (color) and "die," are you are mixing up the word "die" with "dye?" A coin die is this: How coin dies are made/used: :arrow: https://www.coinnews.net/2014/01/06/how-the-denver-mint-makes-dies-to-pr...

This one almost went into the Coin Bucket but something made me look closer. Could this be some sort of improper annealing, a plating error or defective planchet? Or, just a rough life? When I replied: This is nothing the hobby would collect/value. Most odd looking coins are just post mint damage. ...

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D Sorry but the pics are just way to fuzzy to see any details.

Use the method I sent you a link above to take coin pics and your old phone will work. I used an old iPhone 4S (!) originally and it worked great. I currently use an iPhone 7 for coin pics. It is about TECHNIQUE and forcing the auto focus to do what you want, and using the timer. It is not about mod...

Thank you for all the info!! I'm trying to learn as much as I can to pass on to my grandson. I guess that I learned something too. That there are strange people out there in the coin business... :?

What is the weight?

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D I agree with Paul. This is totally impossible. Proof coins cannot come from Philly. Seriously, it is like saying Pepsi can be bought in Coke bottles that came from the factory that way. What you are mistaking for a proof coin is just a very bright, s...

Np pics came though. See the huge video link and pink box you scrolled past to make a post? They show step by step how to make a post

Is it worth getting graded or just post on eBay? 1. PLease see the Pm I sent you concerning not losing money when using grading companies. So many people have no idea what the companies actually do, such as they do not automatically try to look for errors. That PM includes other things you REALLY n...
