Wouldn’t be a planchet flaw or an error, looks like there is something on the coin.
Are those spots raised or incuse.

Re: Help for grading uncirculated coins
Cannot tell what grade from those photos, they are too dark to see any detail.
I usually store low value or regular coins in 2x2’s.
For silver or higher value coins I store them in Leuchturm square coin capsules
with the black foam insert from Lighthouse to help prevent toning.

Re: Looking for help on these two 1942 tombacs
The 1942 Tombac dies were all produced from the same master hub. It is possible that a working die when worn would produce a slightly different strike but this is due to die wear and is not a variety. I am sure that after 80 years if there were different varieties that they would have been discovere...

Re: 1872 50 Cents Variety?
You never mentioned the S on the reverse, that would have nothing to do with the A on the obverse.
Hard to tell from that photo, a closeup such as you showed with the A would help but from what I can
see, it looks more like damage than doubling.

Re: 5 Cent 1921?
It would be a long shot if it is a 1921 as there is believed to only be about 400 in existence.
What makes you think it is a 1921, a TPG would not certify it unless the date was clear.

Re: 1986 SP 50c scar face
With the larger photo, I would have to say that it is a scratch on the frosting preventing it from a high grade.
Agree that it is a PL, not a SP. A 1986 Specimen would be Brilliant Relief on a Brilliant Background.

Re: 1986 SP 50c scar face
Hard to tell from small photo but it is either a small die crack or a scratch.
If it is raised, it is a die crack, if incuse, it is a scratch.

Re: 2018 50cent Die Chip on 0
Minor die chips do not usually add or subtract value from a coin.
As far as having 20 out of 25 with chips do not make the ones
without more valuable. There were 750,000 of these produced
and the vast majority would not have that die chip.

Re: A weird US DOLLAR- need your thoughts
There is no such coin as a 1878 Seated Liberty so it is a fake coin
with no Numismatic value.

Re: 1998P USA Dime (damage?)
Definitely damage, it is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin
and there is nothing on that dime that could happen at that time.

Not an error, it is the edge of a tellers stamp.
Technically it is damage.

Re: WTS: Grandfather’s collection which consists of Canadian And Newfoundland Coins
Welcome to Coins and Canada
First of all, what city or town do you live in.
Also are you able to provide clear photos of the coins if requested.
When you say uncirculated, that could be anywhere from MS60 to MS67

Re: Mint Mark
All US coins between 1965-67 had no mint marks so you won’t find one with one.
