    MD is neither a mint error or a variety so no need to mention it. Also it is AU53
  2. Greenstang
    Thanks Peter None appear to be be in great shape so my original values remain. Also in the future, please shoot your photos straight on. It distorts the picture when you shoot them on an angle.
  3. Greenstang
    Show what?
  4. Greenstang
    Is there a question?
  5. Greenstang
    Agree The valuable one is a copper 1982D Small Date. Yours is a common 1982 Small Date no mm which means it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
  6. Greenstang
    I might be able to help you on your three Canadian large cent coins. Here again value would depend on condition. There are several varieties of the 1888 Vickie. All three are fairly common so unless they are high grade, they are probably only worth a couple of dollars CDN. each.
  7. Greenstang
    Not the best of pictures to try to diagnose but it looks like it could be roller marks. Not that uncommon..
  8. Greenstang
    I can't think of any way that could happen during the striking of the coin so the only answer is damage. Exactly what happened I don't know as I wasn't present when it got damaged either intentionally or accidentally.
  9. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum. Could you show a picture of the reverse also. As JKK stated, it is not a coin.
  10. Greenstang
    The tolerance for a copper CENT is + - .12g so 3.07 is well within spec. It is the copper 1982D Small Date that is the valuable coin.
  11. Greenstang
    As per the photos I posted earlier on how to tell the difference between Small and Large Dates, they are all Large Dates.
  12. Greenstang
    Agree, just been hit with something. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin. Also welcome to the Forum
  13. Greenstang
    Here is a picture of a genuine 1776 Continental. Compare your coin to this and you will notice the differences.
  14. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Agree, definitely a fake.
  15. Greenstang
    No, it just means the die rotated the other way.
  16. Greenstang
    The Obverse is not perfectly straight so that will make the rotation even less. Without checking it, In would say that it is about a 10° rotation. Not enough to add any value but a keeper as an example.

    Have to agree with Just Bob on this one Greg. Extreme Die Erosion. The letters and numbers are too deformed to be caused by anything else. Also look under the 2 on your last photo, you can see flow lines running to the rim caused by the erosion.

    Three are now two active posts on this same coin. See under "Journals" for replys to the other one.
  19. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum It is a 1936 King George V penny from the United Kingdom
  20. Greenstang
    It can't be an error as that couldn't happen during the striking of the coin. Hard to say exactly how it happened unless you were there at the time but somehow a one cent coin was pressed into the surface either by accident or on purpose. Interested in what others have to say.
  21. Greenstang
    Now that we can see both sides it is obvious what happened. Something has punched the Obverse pushing the metal out on the Reverse.
  22. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum. Always show both sides of the coin when posting and by cropping it will make them larger. What you have is just damage of some sort. There is no way that could happen during the striking of the coin.
  23. Greenstang
    Not a Small over Large. Here is what to look for.
  24. Greenstang
    Unless a better picture of the detail in the L and E show me different, I would have to say it is not the same. From your photo supplied, I can't see the split serif on the L.
  25. Greenstang
    Welcome to the Forum Nice find. It is an error in the making of the blank as opposed to a minting error. It is called a Delamination.
