From what I can tell, there are die cracks on the obverse and reverse, as well as a misaligned die.
Is that correct? Am I missing something?
Thanks!

There is also a second “scratch” crossing the other way. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi, I'm new to coin collecting. Please forgive any ignorance i display. I have done research and think this is from a coin wrapper. But the grooves are deep and there are some on both sides. Also, there are the odd markings on Jefferson's face. Did someone mark this? I don't think I have a rare coin, I'm just genuinely wondering how these marks were made. I appreciate your time and knowledge. Thank you

Found this at work.

I’ve never seen something like this from error or damage. Dropping it, it sounds more like a coin battery…but I find it hard to believe someone would go through the trouble of counterfeiting a quarter…

Any thoughts?

Discussion GSE, PMD, or both

Post image
2 Upvotes

Came across this guy in the wild - obviously, cos there ain’t no buying or selling him - and a friend and I are in the middle of a debate. There does seem to be some chemical corrosion around the edges of the coin and they think it’s clear evidence of PMD. I think it resembles several verified examples of Grease Strike Errors to the 2006 D Nickel. I’m not denying the chemical corrosion is evident, but neither the rim nor the lettering on and reverse are in any way affected. It also weighs a perfect 5g. So…pure PMD in the form of chemical corrosion, or GSE with a touch of PM chemical pitting? Would live your thoughts.

I can imagine scenarios of both happening. Is there a way to tell?

Discussion Query - Distinguishing double die varieties on late-stage does

2 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I have learned a fudge ton about coins in the past few months and it’s become the most incredible hobby of mine. History in general!

My query is based on most of what I’ve seen in all of my potential double die coins that aren’t on the obviously doubled side.

On double die varieties, such as those listed on coppercoins/wexler’s, I often have so, so many coins that fit perfectly with the doubling (words/date/bust) pictured on the websites. However, I fail to find most, yet SOME of the die markers/scratches/etc that are shown to compare varieties.

With late-stage dies being a thing, is it possible for certain die markers to totally disappear over time and make it nearly impossible to distinguish the varieties? How WOULD you best distinguish them with minimal die markers?

Thanks guys.

Couple of die chips on hat, a die Crack through of, and a Possible DD Reverse. I can't tell if it's lighting and angle or actually doubled.

Is this an error? Striking error or human stupidity? Was given to me by my grandfather with a few other error coins. Also any idea if it’s a pre 64 or post.

For context, this is a 2005P so obviously I know it's not the speared bison, but perhaps a "wounded" variety? I've looked at what others claim to be the rear wounded, but this one just looks a little different.

Advice Mint Cancelled Kennedy

Post image

I collected some Kennedy’s in the early 2000’s, and just looked through a box of random graded Kennedy’s, and this was inside. I do not remember buying it, but assume through eBay. Question is, is this something the employees did on purpose (meaning there could be a lot of them), or is it more rare? Why would the Mint save these, just for collectors?
