I agree with this. Ive seen many coins graded that I would have thrown in my change jug to be put back into circulation. The ones who had them graded had to have taken major losses after all the fees. Its scary, all the common pocket change, hiding in slabs.

I see now where he said true crack. I apoligize. I thought it said, "die crack or true die crack". Thats my bad @dprince1138. I read your reply wrong. Ive not had much sleep all week. We been working days and nights both. We was off last night but I couldnt sleep. Very exhausted. I read your reply wrong. But I dont think its a craked planchet if thats what you meant by true crack. Parts of it look raised to me in the picture. Looks like plate bubbling or something like that to me also.

That would be known as a cracked planchett then wouldnt it? Instead of a die crack. Any crack in the die it is gonna leave a raised line. Probably meant a planchett crack and misidentified it as a die crack.

Ive seen him use that post twice when he was being called out for being shady and crooking people. I normally sit back and dont say a word when people argue on here and things like that. But when someone admits to crooking people it gets under my skin. Thanks for letting us know who you really are @dprince1138 so we know to avoid buying anything from you. From the few post you made I think you need to learn a little more about coins before you try to sell them. You said several things in different threads on here that dont make a bit of sense. You should start thinking about ethics also. Some of these people you are ripping off are unsuspecting people who actually work hard for their money and take your word on what your selling them. Some may be older and not know any better. Remember what Im saying here when karma catches up with you or you get older and start actually feeling guilty one of these days for lying to people about what your selling them. Serious collectors can see right through what your selling and laugh it off. Your victims are people who dont know any better such as kids and older people and people like that. To me thats on the same level as those phone scammers from India. Same difference. Lying to people who dont know any better to take their money and make a quick buck.

Cant believe I missed this thread when you posted it he first time. Congrats my friend!!! Sorry Im a little late. Great to hear from you again.

Whats a true crack? All the die cracks Ive seen on the coins have been raised.

I would do the right thing. I was raised better than that. I selected A and no Im not lying. Im not a crook. Believe it or not theres still honest people out there. I have a concience. Thats probably why Im poor right now and dont have hardly nothing but I can sleep better at night. Id rather not have nothing if thats how I had to get it. I despise people who take advantage of people. Id rather help them as crook them.

Those look great. He does an excellent job. Wish I was a member. I would order a couple. I cannot find any clubs at all here close to join. Ive been searching. There are not a whole lot of collectors around here close.

Its a very nice album coin but i dont think i would get it graded.

We need to see a picture of the coin to give an estimate. The condition of it can affect the price greatly. Its a very common cent. There were over 409 million minted. If its been circulated then most likely face value. It would have to be a very high mint state to be worth anything.

I think its natural toned also. I really like it. Do the spots look like anything that can be removed? Still a beautiful nickel. I love the colors those older nickels can tone. Ive seen some beauties. @Buffalo Head has some amazing toners in his collection.

I have to disagree with you about toning not affecting price. Ive seen coins with attractive toning bring very high premiums over coins with unattractive toning in the same grade range. As long as its natural and not artifical, a very attractive toned coin, depending on what it is, can fetch a hefty price. I mainly collect silver Washington quarters from 1932-1964. I search Ebay and other sites like that all the time looking for deals and my next addition. Ive seen quarters on those sites with very ugly black and brown toning on there for cheap prices that have been on there for over 2 years now with no buyers. Then Ive seen very attractively toned quarters get put on there and sell quickly for a hundred or more dollars than what they are priced for in the NGC price guide. Ive also seen coins artifically toned that greatly ruined the value of them. Anyone who has collected for a while can tell you toning can greatly affect the value of a coin.

What people are saying is its only worth 50 cents. Having it graded would not increase the value. A coin has to be worth at least a couple hundred dollars to make it worth sending in to get graded. In some cases it will make the coins that are worth grading worth a little more than they were raw depending on the grade assigned. And sometimes it does not add no value other than what it was valued at when submitting. But those coins have to be worth sending in. In your case the half dollar you shared is only worth face value and it would add no value at all to the coin inside the plastic. It would cost you around $80 to $100 to have it graded. You would be better off taking that money and buying a nice coin already graded.

Not a ddr. Looks like strike doubling to me. They are the worthless doubling. I agree the coin is only worth face value and not worth submitting.

Looks like some of my metal detector finds on modern clad coins thats been under the dirt for a period of time.

More than likely a large date. Have better chance at hitting the powerball than finding a small date Denver struck on copper. The large date coppers are only worth face value. The valuable one is the small date copper minted in denver because they were all supposed to be zinc and there were a couple copper planchets left over in the machines that were accidentally struck. If you post pictures and post this in the Newbie section of the forum we can help you out better.

I noticed that very quickly. i cant believe how much some of them are going for.

So far I havent had the chance to buy anything lately. Had a few breakdowns around the house. Ive tried for a couple different tokens but the bids went way over my budget. Here before long ill be back, in business. Been wanting to work on my quarters. Plan on starting back on them soon.

What doubling I can see appears to be mechanical doubling to me. Need a little bit better picture of them to tell for sure.

I seen several olive hill brickyard tokens on Ebay the past few days. Thats where my pawpaw on my dads side worked. I was unsuccesful of winning any. Most went for more $ than I could afford. There was a couple I could have probably bought but I had to work late and the auction was over on them by time I checked my phone. I was a little dishearted but thats the way it goes. I may find more one of these days. It was pretty cool because that seller had a whole set of them. Also missed out on 2 more just like them only in brass a few days before. Once again didnt get off work in time to bid. Its been crazy at work lately. Weve had some very long days.

Yes. A proof has polished mirror like fields. They came in sets bought from the us mint. It would be very very rare to find one in circulation.

Your probably seeing machine doubling. There are no dd listed for 1999.

I had a really good friend send me a token that was one of the early owners of the brickyard my pawpaw on my moms side worked at. He also sent me a brick that my pawpaw very well could have made. Im so grateful to him for that That is a very special gift. I plan on making some kind of display out of it . It was known as the Louisville Firebrick Co the time he worked there. Its hard to read in the picture due to the lighting but in hand its very easy to read.

I dont know if it its size or what but it took the rim from the quarter and widened it out quite a bit on the dime. Could have been caught in a different area of the dryer also. Im not sure exactly.
