Re: 1936 Is that a dot under the leaf? And the 6 ? What does everyone think?

I forget the guy's name from a few years ago who used to find "dots" on all kinds of coins, but he hit the '36 cents pretty hard, striking out every time.

Re: 1923 Looking for a grade and value

I'd say f-12 to 15. Many heavy scratches as well as the actual visible wear. Again, a couple bucks Canadian.

Re: Just a Hello!

Very few of the folks that posted 16 and 13 1/2 years ago. I only saw one, but it was great to see livingdinosaur , who used to be a regular on a couple sites, but don't think that he's with us any more.

Re: Struck through grease Looney 2013

I don't see a strike through either and the coin has been around something with sulpher in it.

Re: 1945 Victory 5 cents w/die break on reverse.

It looks like that line/scratch runs through and over design elements. Is that line raised above the fields? To me it doesn't look like a die crack.

Re: Does doubling on a coin increase its value?

It depends on what kind of "doubling" that you are talking about and how much is the offset. If you can't see it with bare eyes, it normally won't increase in value

Re: Penny error? Please help ! Any value to this ?

PMD. It looks almost like solder or something and also looks like someone started to drill a hole and then tried to fill it.

It looks like a deep scratch that displaced the metal along its edges. PMD

Well, there's 3 guys who don't have their heads on straight. It's hard to believe that there's 3 bidders for a photograph!

Re: Error nickel believed to be rare 1952 please help!!! looking to find a value on something like this

These forums are really just FOR newbies to help them along. As I asked above, is your coin silver color or a brassy yellow/orange color and are you sure that it's a 1952?
