  1. It must have been punched by the mint worker on a Friday.
  2. Nothing there that could happen when the coin was struck. PMD
  3. Easy way to tell. If the zero is round, it is a Large Date, if it is oval, it is a Small Date. All yours are round so they are Large Dates.
  4. Welcome to the forum Depends on what you mean by a good amount. A couple of hundred, a couple of thousand? I don’t think that a US bank will accept them and in Canada the banks will only accept them if you have an account as they have to return them to the mint seeing that they were discontinued in 2012. There is probably not anything there that would be worth more than face value ( except for the copper ones) unless you can find one with a major error. Perhaps a coin dealer might buy them at face value and he could put them in his bargain box. Don’t forget they are only worth 3/4 cent US. PS. I have asked the mods to move this to the Newbie Forum, this forum is for registered sets.
  5. If you want to spend $55-60.00 having it graded, then that is up to you but I think you. will disappointed when you see the result.
  6. Show a photo of the edge, that will determine if it was plated or not.
  7. That is not an error on the L, they are all like that. Also as mentioned, the cent looks plated which would make the value 1 cent.
  8. This is the Registry Forum, you should be posting in the Newbie Forum. Perhaps a mod will move it. No, that is not an error, it is damage. It has taken a hit the moving the letter. Here again that could not happen when the coin was struck. If you are going to look for errors, suggest learning the minting process and. what a an actual error is. There are only certain things that can occur when a coin is struck that can cause an error. Anything that happens after the coin is struck is damage, no matter what the cause. A good site to study errors is error-ref.com
  9. Nobody said that is fake, it is a genuine nickel. What we said is it is damaged. Whatever happened to it, no matter the cause happened after the coin was struck. It is known as PMD ( Post Minting Damage)
  10. Welcome to the forum As stated, just a badly damaged coin. There is no possible. way that could happen when the coin was struck. In the future, one clear photo of each side plus a photo of the area of concern is sufficient. Multiple photos are not required. Also please state what your question is so we don’t have to guess.
  11. Don’t see anything there that is worth more than face value. Even if there was an error on the 2023 quarter, it certainly wouldn’t be worth thousands.
  12. If the person was knowledgable, then they would come to the same conclusion as everyone else, they would not disagree.
  13. Henri But if you ask the same question about the same coin, why would you not expect the same answers. In powerball you at least have a chance although slim of winning. In the case of the 43 cent there is zero chance that it is something special. You admitted yourself on the other thread that it is not an error.
  14. If that is the same coin as your previous post, then the answers are the same. Reposting it doesn’t change the facts.
  15. Not an occulated gas bubble. An occulated gas bubble affects sold alloy coin. A 2001 cent is plated so it is a plating bubble/ blister.
  16. It would still fit in the category of a floating roof. The main thing is that there are no vertical lines showing on the roof.
  17. The no FG is part of a floating roof along with the weak Lincoln. They are all caused by the overpolishing of the die.
  18. That is caused by an over polished die and is a nice example of what is known as a “floating roof”. This can be found on most years of Memorial cents.
  19. Welcome to the forum Not an error, just a damaged and worn cent. In the future, please crop your photos.
  20. It is a Stuck Through, die deterioration would show as flow lines, not an orange peal effect.
  21. I would say no, it was done after the cent left the mint. There is a buildup of copper around the edge that would not happen on a true clip.
  22. Any Lincoln zinc plated cent is prone to bubbles. Once the bubble(s) break, the. zinc core is exposed to air and the coin will start to rot. Very common on zincoins.
