Re: Rare 1893 Canadian Quarter

Good find.
Always nice to find silver coins, especially older ones.

Re: 1$ 1987 Multiple errors

It is only an error if it happens during the actual striking of the planchet.
Anything that happens after that is damage. What you have could not have
happened at that that time so by default it is damage. It is impossible to say
exactly where this happened.

Re: Zinc bubble????

1999 was copper plated zinc so that would make it a zinc bubble.

Re: 1$ 1987 Multiple errors

That hole is just minor damage.
Most small anomolies are just damage as opposed to an error.

Re: Zinc bubble????

Depends on what year it is.
You should always put the year in your heading.

Re: 1$ 1987 Multiple errors

Welcome to Coins and Canada
Please explain what you see as an error. All I see is a well circulated 1987 Loonie.
Also always show both sides of the coin when posting. You have 5 of the reverse
and none of the obverse.

Re: 1979 US penny

That is known as a broken post. Not really an error, it is part of the minting process.
Quite common on D and P mintmarks and adds no value.
Nice photography and cropping, just what we need when evaluating coins.

Re: 1927 Canadian Confederation Coin. Flaw or Damage

It’s damage.
There is no way that could have happened when it was struck.
Maybe someone was trying to drill a hole in it.

Re: 1968 nickel dollar

Hard to tell whether it is a crack or a die chip but it doesn’t make much difference.

Re: 1954 and 1953 Canada nickels with no chrome

Hard to say from the photos supplied but it does not matter as the “No Chrome” variety
is no longer recognized by the graders as the chrome can be chemically removed making
it impossible to tell between a original and an altered nickel.

Re: 1903H small H. H over H5 cents. Ms-63

The mint does not release figures on different varieties.
The number minted would be included in the overall mintage of 2,650,000.

Re: listing information omission for 2005 one cent Canadian coind

It does.
You have to click on where it says “Mint State” because there
is no extra value to these unless they are uncirculated.

Re: MS 1916 cleaned or toned?

To give a more accurate grade, we need to see a complete clear photo of both sides.
Can’t grade from a partial photo.

Re: weird toonie error? damage?

Always take a photo of the complete coin so we can get some perspective of the “error”.
Sometimes photos can be too large. Also include the date in your heading, sometimes this can be important.
