    Welcome to the forum Did you have a question regarding your cents?

    Why would you want to spend $55-60.00 having it graded. It is not a Doubled Die and would just come back as a regular circulated grade worth about a dollar Nice album coin at the best.

    Lamination problem caused by the poor mixing of the alloy.

    Even with increasing the size of supplied photos, I can see no sign of DD. Much better photos by the way.

    It would be hard for anyone with even slight knowledge of the minting process to disagree with this one.
  7. Greenstang
    Filled mint marks are quite common on P and D mint marks. They are known as a broken post as the interior post breaks off from continued use. Once a post breaks, every coin struck after that would show this so there are probably tens of thousands the same. They are also not an error but just part of the minting process.

    Agree with Sandon, it is just one of the many counterfeits for sale. You see them on Etsy quite often. It would be hard for me to believe that a 225 year old dollar still retained all it’s original shine.

    You didn’t have to delete the first post, all you had to do was add the reverse picture to that post. Not to worth though, we all screw up up occasionally and you will know for the next time.

    That looks like split plate doubling around the top of the letters.
  11. Greenstang
    Certainly note the 3 over 2 variety. Just look at the edge to see if it is plated. If the edge looks the same as both sides, then it is plated. If you can see the steel core, it is original.
  12. Greenstang
    How is anyone supposed to know this without going through the other posts. It would make more sence to post both of them on the same thread.

    Welcome to the Forum] This is the forum for buying/selling coins. I have asked that your post be moved to the "Newbie" Forumm. As far as your quarter goes, it is just a severely damaged coin. That could not have happened when the coin was struck. Also please get in the habit of posting photos of both sides of the coin, even if you do not think it is necessary.
  14. Greenstang
    They are not even minor errors. Scratches are considered damage, not errors.
  15. Greenstang
    Correct, it is the distance from the leaf. This also applies to 1922, 1926, 1929, 1934 and 1936 years which had the Near Far varieties.
  16. Greenstang
    It is just damage. The fact that you say the coin is bent verifies that.
  17. Greenstang
    Please explain “retained strike through”. Is this a new type of error
  18. Greenstang
    Depends on whether you are looking to sell it or keep it. Sell- yes. Keep- no.
  19. Greenstang
    Correct, it is a Far Date. Nice find. I usually just go by the distance between the 3 and 2. If the distance is equal, it is a Near Date, if the 2 is closer to the 3, it is a Far Date.
  20. Greenstang
    I agree. Just a regular 1990 business strike. What makes you think it is a proof?
  21. Greenstang
    It is neither a Struck THROUGH or a Broadstruck that I can see. To show if it is rotated, take a photo in front of a mirror so we can see both sides at once.
  22. Greenstang
    Duplicate post
  23. Greenstang
    Just something on the coin, whatever it is, it didn’t happen when the cent was struck. Also as Coinbuf no red, do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small detail.
  24. Greenstang
    No, that is a Close AM. In the future, include a complete photo of the coin. There are other and better markers in telling the difference between a CAM and WAM . Also do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.

    Welcome to the forum To get a coin graded, it should have a value of at least $150.00 to make it worthwhile. Just because a coin is beautiful, it does not make it valuable. What you have without seeing them would probably make good album fillers. If you would like to post a clear photo of both sides of the coins we might be able to help you further.
