    Welcome to the forum Those are known as counterstamps, they have been added for some reason after the coin has left the mint. Normally random counterstamps do not add any value to the coin as they could have been added anytime and anyone can do the same thing

    Welcome to the forum This is the section for registered sets. Please use the Newbie Forum for further posts. Before anyone can help, we will require a clear photo of both sides of each coin you have a question about. To avoid confusion, only one coin per post please. Also a clear explanation of what you want to know about each coin. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

    A die clash would be raised and I don’t really see that on your coin. There might be a bit ghosting though.
  4. Greenstang
    From photo supplied I am not seeing the extra V. Can you take a clear closeup of that area.
  5. Greenstang
    Nay. To remove the loop would probably damage the coin and it is not that rare that you couldn’t find an undamaged one somewhere.

    Another of my PO1 lowballs. CanadIan 1936 Silver dollar
  7. Greenstang
    Your just a wealth of numismatic information.
  8. Greenstang
    To me pictures are not clear even to authentic either way. We have to be able to see all the detail such as in the photo that EagleRJO supplied.
  9. Greenstang
    Not a split planchet or any other error. You don’t show the whole coin but it is too worn to see any of the markers indicating a 1888/7.

    A lamination is generally (to cover myself, I say generally because there have been rare cases of lamination on clad coins) restricted to solid alloy coins as it is caused by the presence of contaminants or impurities in the alloy which separate when the planchet is made. They can be small or run the full length of the coin.
  11. Greenstang
    Nice, a retained laminate that has been partiially peeled back.

    PMD with no extra value. It would cost you $60.00 or more to have a coin worth 1 cent to be graded.

    A weak strike is a common problem on the reverse of Lincoln Memorials. To put it simply, the amount of material used to fill in Lincoln’s head leaves little left to fill in the reverse properly.

    The correct terminology is Doubled Die.

    The D mm on the OP’s coin is in the wrong position to be VP-002 RPM-006.
  16. Greenstang
    That is a WAM as all 1959’s are. Where do you see DD.
  17. Greenstang
    A worn 1955 cent with some verdigras
  18. Greenstang
    Common 1964 cents with wear.
  19. Greenstang
    A 1941 cent with some wear.
  20. Greenstang
    Please indicate where you see DD on your CENT

    It is not advised to clean any coin except for soaking in pure acetone. I usually let mine soak for about 24 hrs. to remove gunk and residue. Make sure your container is covered.

    You can post as many as you want as long as they are each on a separate thread. Not sure of your question or if you have one but what I see is a discoloured 1943 steel cent. If you are not sure, the weight to two decimal points will tell you if it is steel or not. Steel is 2.70g Copper is 3.11g
  23. Greenstang
    Just a damaged cent. The loops on the B have been gouged out moving the stem to the left almost on top of the I.
  24. Greenstang
    Looks like a partial grease filled die. Quite common and adds no value.
  25. Greenstang
    Discolouration is not an error, it is caused by whatever environment it was exposed to. It would cost you in excess of $65.00 to have a coin worth 1 cent to be graded.
