Re: 1945 V Nickel Error ?

It's rust beneath the surface.
We've seen it many times.
The coins were not dipped in anything, sheets of steel were electroplated with nickel then with chrome before the blanks were punched out.

Texas cent
Smacked between two pieces of leather.
Believe it only works with copperplated zinc cents.

Re: any help on this one EF30?

Can't give it EF30 because there is no such grade.
VF30 can do but it looks like it may be damaged on the obverse , need better pics.

Re: 1985 US mistruck penny? Maybe thoughts on this coin?

The line is ridge ring, it happens on coins struck by a very worn die, very common on US cents, and not desireable.
Your coin also suffers from zinc rot, spend it if you can before it rots away.

Re: 1966 silver dollar. Large or small bead

Best of luck to you.
Those pics are to out of focus to determine for sure, but I suspect it's large beads because small beads are exactly as described, they're small. You can easily fit another bead between two small beads.
Doesn't appear to be so in those pics.

Re: 1952 George VI Cent MS-64 RED w/ Rev. Die Breaks

Deep bag marks, rim ding, piece of ear missing.
MS63 at best.
The Mint shipped coins to the banks in bags in 1952, so what do you mean by original roll?

Re: what is this?

Neither coin nor token.
A coin is government issued legal tender, a token (usually privately issued) has or had a redeemable value.
Your item appears to be a medallion commemorating 750 years of the city of Wittenberg.

SWL variety
The polishing as noted by coinguy has reduced its value to buliion.
Never ever polish coins.

The OP's obverse pic is not oriented properly, giving the illusion of more rotation than what is actually there.

Slight rotation.
Quite common in '67
Not much of a premium unless the rotation is more than 45 degrees

Re: auction price quotes on this web site

Couldn't possibly include taxes as those vary according to the buyer's location.
