    Welcome to the forum What you have is a Close AM worth 1 cent. As mentioned, in the future post in the newbie forum.

    This is a duplicate post. Posted this one Wednesday evening and reposted Thursday morning.

    Die Deterioration Doubling does not add any value to the dime. It is one of the worthless types of doubling.

    If you don’t believe a seasoned veteran with over 6500 posts that specializes in cents, then I guess no one else will be able to help you. ( In my humble opinion, I agree with Coinbuf)
  5. Greenstang
    It is a WAM, just look at the position of the FG.
  6. Greenstang
    As Coinbuf stated, best to Ask NGC directly for best answer.

    If it is from an engraving tool and I will have to take your word for it,(can’t tell from the photo) then it would be considered a damaged coin, no matter how well it was done. Doesn’t really matter though as most Sacajawea dollars are only worth a dollar.
  8. Greenstang
    Don’t know why all the photos are upside down but that looks more like Die Deterioration Doubling. Certainly not a Doubled Die. Note: The correct terminology is Doubled Die

    This is the forum for buying/selling coins, I have asked that it be moved. It looks like a copy, it is too round and has rims which ancient coins don’t have.
  10. Greenstang
    Lack of partial rim suggests it has been ground, sanded down, not an error.
  11. Greenstang
    A Doubled Die is not an error, it is a variety. What you have is Machine Doubling, aka Strike Doubling, not a DD.
  12. Greenstang
    Agree, it is definitely a scratch, no way it is a crack.
  13. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum That is not an error, it is damage. Looks like it has taken a hit. displacing some of the metal, note the rim. In the future, please show a photo of both sides of the coin instead of two of the same side. Sometimes this can help with the diagnostics.

    It can’t be a DDO as the mint marks were hand punched until about 1989. It also looks like it has been plated which would make it ineligable to be graded.
  16. Greenstang
    Don’t really see any errors, a DoubledDie is a variety, not an error. If you have to increase the size that much to see something, it would be irrelevant anyway. as grading companies only use 5X magnification. You could probably find something wrong with any coin increasing the size that much.
  17. Greenstang
    Just looks like a regular 1959D cent. Do you see something that makes you think it has any value?
  18. Greenstang
    Even if it passes the magnet test and is the right weight, it is still a counterfeit. All you have to do is look at the position of the S mint mark, it is in the wrong position.
  19. Greenstang
    “How do you know its a fake my friend” Years of experience and knowing what to look for. All you have to do is compare your coins to the original photos posted above. Not sure where you got them but do you really think that you have two coins, one worth 6 figures and the other worth 4 or 5?
  20. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Chat Board Agree with the above, just a crude counterfeit with no value. Also NGC does not appraise coins, they grade them.
  21. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum Sorry but both of those coins are counterfeit and neither NGC or PCGS will grade counterfeit coins. There is no numismatic value to either one.
  22. Greenstang
    Toneing is not an error Toning can be many colours depending on the environment it was exposed to.
  23. Greenstang
    Welcome to the forum That is not a mint error, it is a small gouge. You can see the displaced metal that would not be present if it was a Struck Through.
  24. Greenstang
    Is there a question here?
  25. Greenstang
    If you are referring to the NGC registry, then yes, they have to be graded by either NGC or PCGS otherwise how would they know what grade to register them.
