Greenstang got a reaction from zadok in Do the impacted areas of the obverse of this coin look accurate/legit?
Lamination problem caused by the poor mixing of the alloy.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in 1979 P Anthony Dollars with Filled Mint Marks
Filled mint marks are quite common on P and D mint marks. They are known as a broken post
as the interior post breaks off from continued use. Once a post breaks, every coin struck after
that would show this so there are probably tens of thousands the same. They are also not an
error but just part of the minting process.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 2021 Crossing Delaware error or damage
Welcome to the Forum]
This is the forum for buying/selling coins. I have asked that your post be moved to the "Newbie" Forumm.
As far as your quarter goes, it is just a severely damaged coin. That could not have happened when the coin was struck.
Also please get in the habit of posting photos of both sides of the coin, even if you do not think it is necessary.

Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in I received a cool looking coin yesterday 2002 p quarter what error is this
They are not even minor errors. Scratches are considered damage, not errors.

Greenstang got a reaction from powermad5000 in "2013 1C D Lincoln shield"
It is neither a Struck THROUGH or a Broadstruck that I can see.
To show if it is rotated, take a photo in front of a mirror so we can see both sides at once.

Greenstang got a reaction from ThePhiladelphiaPenny in What causes this
It is just damage. The fact that you say the coin is bent verifies that.

Greenstang got a reaction from RonnieR131 in Wide AM 1998?
No, that is a Close AM.
In the future, include a complete photo of the coin. There are other and better markers in telling the difference between a CAM and WAM .
Also do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.

Greenstang got a reaction from The Neophyte Numismatist in Nickel Nutz Update
You’re right, the last one is just damage.
The first one is a MAD, not an off centre strike.

Greenstang got a reaction from Nakia74 in Amazed
Welcome to the forum
To get a coin graded, it should have a value of at least $150.00 to make it worthwhile.
Just because a coin is beautiful, it does not make it valuable. What you have without
seeing them would probably make good album fillers. If you would like to post a clear
photo of both sides of the coins we might be able to help you further.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in Bicentennial Washington Quarter Inquiry
Welcome to the forum
Why would you want a common quarter to be graded. It would cost you about $55-60.00 to grade.
Getting coins graded without the proper knowledge is a great way to lose money.
There were over 860 million D mintmark produced and with the condition of yours with the damage
isn’t worth much more than face value.
Unless a coin is worth at least $150- 200.00, it is not worth the cost of grading.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 1989 struck on copper and the 9 looks like a 2 what error is this?
A 1989 is struck on copper plated zinc, not copper.
There is damage to the date but the 9 still looks like a 9, not a 2

Greenstang got a reaction from Coinbuf in a penny error or damage.
If it was a die break, it would be raised, not incuse. What you have is just damage and wear.
Suggest you read up on the minting process and what constitutes an error to save
you the time of posting damaged coins.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 1987 p Washington quarter dollar with over a dozen mistakes help me with your knowledge and I will be appreciative.
Dryer coin or spooned coin, they are both considered damage. You cannot have a quarter
without reeding unless it was stuck out of collar which yours was not.
When you say “mistakes” , I assume you mean errors. There are no errors on your coin.
Still worth 25cents though no matter how much damage.

Greenstang got a reaction from J P M in Error
That is called a cud caused by a broken die.
Please work on your photography, in this case it is acceptable
but if we have to see fine detail, it would be of no use.

Greenstang got a reaction from Sandon in 1942 / 41 D
There are two types of 42/41 dime varieties. Yours is the the D mint variety
As mentioned, always supply a complete photo of both sides along with your closeup.
