  1. I don’t see anything that couldn’t be PMD and wear. There might be a couple of die chips but hard to tell with reflection. Certainly not anything spending money to have looked at.
  2. The second piece is definitly a counterfeit so the only genuine coin is the 1943 cent. If geniune, some of thoose pattern coin could be worth as uch as $40,000
  3. Welcome to the forum This forum is for buying and selling coins. You should really have posted this in the Newbie Forum for better response. To answer your question, the coins you have are only worth face value. Total $1.25 Why did you think they were worth more?
  4. Always show both sides of the coin when making inquires. From what I can tell, your 1974 CENT looks like a dryer coin which is damage but a photo of the obverse would confirm this. **Was able to open the hidden contents and can now see the Obverse. The smaller diameter and thicker rims indicate that it is a dryer coin. No premium for this.
  5. Erin33 or Peralta33 on the PCGS forum Why are you asking on another forum if the coin is real? Nobody on this site has said that it is not genuine, even if it is plated, it is still a genuine 1943 cent.
  6. It has been struck by something. PMD In the future, please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.
  7. You will find these on the end coin of most rolls. Many of these out there in all denominations and considered damage, not an error. Value 25 cents.
  8. It all depends on what you want to collect, it is up to the individual. There are people who collect error coins and have accumulated quite a nice collection. Others such as myself ( although I do have a couple) would not pay a premium for an error coin. There are some purists who consider errors as damage.
  9. Yours can’t be a FS501 D/D, the position of the mm is in the wrong place.
  10. Welcome to the Chat Board Certainly not a red CENT, just a regular circulated 1978 cent that is worth 1cent. There were over 5 1/2 Billion minted at the Philadelphia mint alone so not rare.
  11. Agree It has been soaked in acid. Usually the rims are first to go. Not unusual, they sometimes did this as a High School experiment.
  12. More damage, probably caused by a coin wrapping machine. Also please start a new thread for each coin. It causes confusion with more than one coin on a thread
  13. Welcome to the forum That is not an error, that is damage. It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin. Anything that happens after that is considered damage.
  14. That is the way they look when they come from the mint. It probably just hasn’t been in circulation.
  15. Welcome to the forum You should really start your own thread instead of piggybacking on another one. This just causes confusion and is hard to find yours. To answer your question, your quarter is just damaged and worth 25 cents. You
  16. Welcome to the Chat Board I hope you realize that it would cost $55-60.00 to have that graded and the value would be nowhere near that. Put it in a 2x2 or a flip and add to your collection as a minor grease filled die.
  17. What would make you think a damaged and worn regular quarter is worth more than face value?
  18. Hard to help unless you state what you need help with. Most of us aren’t very good guessers.
  19. Copper can change many colours depending on the environment it was exposed to. It can also be the result of being cleaned.
  20. Don’t know why you want it to look shiny, it is a worn coin and looks like it should. Making it shiny would make it look unnatural and devaluate it. Save shiny for uncirculated coins.
  21. Welcome to the forum This is a large coin seller with over 89,000 coins sold. As Just Bob stated, it is not unusual for large sellers to use stock photos as they usually have multiples of the same item for sale. It is possible they use the same obverse photo for multiple variations of quarters. Although it is against eBay policy to use stock photos, these large sellers get a pass due to the large volume of coins they sell. I would not have any issue with buying from this 100% feedback seller with the volume he sells.
  22. Sorry but that is not the1958 DD-001 listed on Variety Vista. There is distinct North South Doubling that does not show on your cent. There may be some MD but hard to tell from photo.
  23. I hope you know the difference between DDO and Machine Doubling. Over 90% of the coins we see on here that people think are Doubled Dies turn out to be worthless Machine Doubling. If you haven’t already sent it out, post a clear photo of the coin on this forum and someone will be able to help.
