Re: 2017 Damage or error?

You don’t need to do anything but spend it.
There is no extra value to it. A stain is considered damage and the alignment is OK.

Re: One dollar bills encased in lucite

I can't see any value over $100.00. They have no value being encased and by the time and effort it
would take to the remove the lucite, they would probably all be damaged and worth $1.00 each.
Just my opinion.

Re: 2017 Damage or error?

Please explain what you see as an error so that we are not guessing.
All I see is a quarter that has been stained.

Re: 1960 D Lrg date Lincoln penny - tapered planchet error?

Can you supply the weight to two decimal points?
A tapered planchet should weigh less than 3.11g.

Re: Blank one side

Lack of full rim on reverse indicates that it has been removed.
A weight to two decimal points would help.

Re: initials in voyager canoe

Correct, it stands for Hudson’s Bay.
The Voyageur paddling with the Native American is an agent for the Company.

Re: 1947 dollar rev-005

Those indicate the variety of the Reverse.
Obv.- 00X would indicate the variety of the Obverse.

Re: Help with 1973 $1 bills

That is the Crow Bouey 3 letter prefix. There were over 1 BILLION printed in that series.
If uncirculated, depending on the grade, they would be worth $2-3.00 each.
Consecutive numbers on modern bills usually don’t command a premium.

Re: 1957 bug tail

As I stated previously, there is no PL bugtail. The bugtail is caused by a die chip on that one
business strike die and would not appear on a PL coin. Save your time by searching for one.

Re: 1964 dot over 9

Agree with everything Bill stated.
A die chip is a common occurrence and is part of the minting process.
I don’t know why they are referred to as a variety, someone calls it
rare or gives it a fancy name and all of a sudden it becomes a variety.

Re: 1957 bug tail

There is no such coin as a 1957 PL bugtail but if there was,
the ML65 would be more valuable.

Re: 2012 Canada $2 HMS Shannon; Extra Sail

It is just one of the varieties of the Shannon dollar, not uncommon and certainly not worth the cost of grading.
Don’t forget, that would be on the striking die so that however many coins that die struck, that’s how many the same as that there would be out there.

Re: 1943 cent... What am I looking at?

Welcome to Coins and Canada

Looks like there is something on it. Soak in acetone for 24 hrs and see if it comes off.
One thing for is that it is not an error, this happened after it left the mint.
