Re: 1884 Cent with ?? in Loop of 2nd "8"

Looks like a small die chip on the post, not uncommon.

Re: Here is an odd 1937

I don’t think that is a depression. What I see is an occulated gas bubble to the left of the
date which being higher probably protected the date from the amount of wear that is
apparent on both sides of the coin. What you have is just a well worn quarter.

Re: Info on this coin please

If they are holes, then it is damage. That could not have happened when the coin was struck.

The coin in the ICCS holder is a 1949, not a 1948

Re: Here is an odd 1937

What does the obverse look like.
You should always supply photos of both sides, whether you think it is necessary or not.

Re: 1960 10 cents debris error

If that black circle is incuse, it is possible that it is a Struck Through

Re: Database & Rarity Question

Depends on what silver coins you are referring to. Most of the high mintage silver coins turned in are either damaged or well worn with only bullion value. If it is a rare coin, then it is in someone’s collection. There is no way to know exactly how many have been turned in to be melted but if it wa...

Re: 1988 struck on foreign planchet?

If the diameter is smaller, then it has either been spooned or is a
dryer coin, doesn’t matter which, it is still damage.

Re: Mystery coin

It is a common 1973 25 cent business strike with nearly 137 million struck.
It commemorates the 100th anniversary of the RCMP. Worth 25 cents in circulated condition
In the future, please crop your pictures, this will increase the size.

Re: *WA. New to Data Base

Definitely get it certified and handle carefully. Put it in a protective holder
to prevent any marks or crease's which can devaluate it greatly.
With the front being off centre, it will prevent it from being a top grade but
if you can get it certified uncirculated, it could be a five figure find.

Re: 1961 penny cracks

Much better photos.
It looks like it has been coated with something (varnish?) that has cracked.
Whatever it is it happened after it left the mint so it is considered damage.
