Re: Update 1 pound Gibraltar coin

I just googled 2018 1£ Gilbraltor coin, that is the style of the date.
You can usually find any coin by googling it if you want to compare.

Re: 1961 penny cracks

Please show a complete photo of both sides of the coin. Can’t really say from those photos.
Also do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated.

Re: 1958 cud on queens neck?

Can’t be a cud as they only appear on the edge of a coin.
Might be a die chip but a photo of the complete obverse may help.
Sometimes pictures can be too large and you lose perspective.

Re: 1970 struck through wire!

We need a COMPLETE photo of each side plus those pictures are too dark.
We have to be able to see all the detail on the coin in order to grade.

Re: Queen Elizabeth Royal tours coins

If the "crack" is in the same spot on all the coins, then it must be part of
the design. You couldn't have the same crack on numerous different designs.

Re: 2 2022 Coins

The missing beads are caused by a partially grease filled die.
Not uncommon and there would be more the same as this out there.

Re: 1953 Small Date?

That is a Small Date. The Large Date is closer to the rim.

Re: 1838 token breton 967 / ns22/ brit guiana mule or error?

Not an error, that part has been intentionally ground off, possibly to make a love token.
It is considered a damaged coin.

Re: 2023 quarter

Bill
Look at the bottom of the “I” above the “M”, it has the same type of chip. There is
nothing on the Obverse like that to cause a clash. Doesn’t really matter too much
though, there is no added value either way.

Re: 2023 quarter

That is a die chip on the “M” and Machine Doubling on the type. This is quite common
on these quarters with the sunken type. About 60% have MD.
In the future, please try to avoid screen shots, they are too pixilated to see fine detail.

Much better photos but they are still only worth face value in US currency.

Re: 1996 2 dollar canadian

Once these toonies are circulated, it is almost impossible to tell the difference.
The main difference was the finish which disappears with wear. From the photo
supplied I can’t see any of the lines.

Re: 2001 10 cent

None are worth much over face value. Very common dimes.
