From the figure on it, I would suspect India as well. But I don't know.

The dime is in a sealed proof set plastic bag. Easy mistake for a newbie to the hobby :D Yours was from a mint set. A mint set was where the US mint would sell a packaged set of newly made circulation strike coins. They were typically less expensive to buy than the proof sets. And to answer the nex...

Sorry, we still need better images to see this. They get fuzzy when we zoom and hide the details that are important. Please remember you have this in hand and we do not. All we have are two dimensional images. If you follow the very few and short instructions in the graphic at the following link, it...

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here

I agree. The hobby often calls this the ring of death. Search this forum for those terms and you will see it is common.

...were they produced with reeded edge then ground down... The way the mint is set up to produce these coins does not ever allow for reeding to be on the edges. It is impossible. ...if you look under Microscope it looks like reeded line on edge that were ground down... We get people coming here all...

When we get better pics we may be able to give an opinion. But remember these companies often make mistakes as well. In fact as of recent when CAC started to slab, there have been a lot of coins CAC called cleaned that were straight graded by PCGS. It has caused a stir in the hobby. See the essay in...

Anytime you need to understand a term used in the coin hobby, the best place to go is error-ref.com and look it up. The mroe time you spend at that site, the better and more you will understand coins. Also, be careful about online videos. So many youtubers post misinformation (not necessarily on pur...

Probably the best place to find market values is to check sold errors at Heritage auctions.

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D Sorry but I have to lock this b/c the guidelines say we can only have one coin per post.

:lol: :lol: Yes...exactly. But those type of datenails, according to this AI image, typically have numbered tags as the nail heads. I assume the tags are used so that if any of them should be broken loose during the habbob, its tag number can be looked up at the local date registry headquarters and ...

Fun discussion, but this original post was from April 2021!

So if I do find a true error on an older coin and I want get it slabbed, do I send i straight to PCGS or do I send it ANACS Not unless you want to end up about 200.00 in the hole. Grading company usage is not as straightforward as social media and the web make people think it is. It would be a very...

@Mach254 - as Westin said, yours is not a proof coin. There should not be an S.

@Paul Been having problems with the submit button myself. Sometimes I hit it and it takes up to 3 minutes, and then comes back NOT as submitted, but to the page I hit the submit button on!

Welcome to the forum. We are glad you are here :D A nice delamination, but nowhere near worth the 200.00 it is going to cost you to submit to PCGS or NGC.

Thanks appreciate the education, you say common at this size, the bigger they are the better or the smaller lol? Back in the 60s when not much was known by the public about how common occurrences like this were, people did take an interest in this specific die break. But nowadays it's pretty much i...

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.

Earle42

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.

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...

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...
