I agree, just a long straight scratch.

Re: 2004 molten metal.

It's just a rusty, damaged coin, nothing else.

Re: Wth happened?, canadian nickle

As coinguy says, it's post mint damage. Someone got adventurous with chemicals and hand tools.

Re: Where to get it Grade?

I'm with coinguy. If you think that you have an error or a variety, post it here first to see if it really IS what you think it is. In my book, a coin needs to be able to SELL (not priced) for 150-200 before it's worth ever sending to a TPG. If you just send a coin into a TPG for a cert, thinking th...

Re: 1888 Half Dollar - Which Obverse?

For me, just looking at the crown tip distance to the "I", it's not a 3. The top jewel of the crown on a 4 is further away from the "I" serif than a "2", so I think that it's a 4. With as well worn as it is, you can't see any of the skin creases, so you can't go by that. " Wow! A foot in the mouth ...

Re: 1967 dd reverse question

It's not worth getting cert'd, since it would cost more to get the cert than the coin would be worth. You asked about "repunched", but I think it's hub doubled and essentially the same thing. It's great coin for your collection and an attention-getter. Nice! Is there any doubling to the portrait? An...

Yes, all the photos that you post are overmagnified and look like snake skin, not metal.

Re: WTS: Grandfather’s collection which consists of Canadian And Newfoundland Coins

I might be interested in the Canadian Victoria large cents. As a variety collector, I would need to see both sides of the coins. You can PM me to arrange for the photos to be emailed.

Re: 1996 toonie error?

It's a fake camel-toe toonie, so it has a $2 value IF the merchant will accept it. It's worth nothing legally. The "die crack" that you have pointed out is part of the design. The bear is on a ledge or broken part of the ice. They are all like that.

Re: Think it's fake?

It doesn't look like a cameltoe, like others that I've seen here around the T.O. area. As stated above, it is disclored by something, maybe a cleaning gone bad.

U.S. following Canada on penny

I just saw this little blurb on the CNN news site. I'm sure there are some larger articles and the fight somewhere on the 'net.
