Re: 1985 Experimental hard case from Mint
No, don’t remove them from the case, that will destroy the value. This is one of the few instances where the case is worth more than the coins. What you say is a possibility but we may never know. Whatever happened, it must have happened after the coins were struck so it is not an error. Those photo...

Re: 1985 Experimental hard case from Mint
Looking at my set, I don’t see any sign of those markings. If it is not a reflection from the plastic, then something must have happened between the time the coins were struck and they were packaged. If this is the case, then they would be classed as damage although I am leaning towards reflection. ...

Confirm that it is a Pointed Bust.
Everything else looks normal.

Re: 1979 Pointed Bust 50 cent coin
I would say pointed bust but you should really show the whole coin
as there are other markers to distinguish the two.

Re: 1967 Uncirculated One Dollar Bills (no serial numbers)
I would think the market is pretty small as of the millions printed, very few went into circulation as every one kept them. People were buying stacks of them in the hope that the value would go up. Those prices you see are dollars that have been graded so if yours are not graded, you can expect less...

Re: 1969 Dollar with errors
No problem and there are no dumb questions ( unless you ask the
same question over and over) so ask away. Just put each coin on its
own post and be as detailed as possible with your question.

Re: 1969 Dollar with errors
There is nothing on your dollar that would be considered an error.
Every little anomoly is not in an error, in fact about 99.99% of them aren’t.
That dot is probably a small die chip which is fairly common and the rest
is Machine Doubling, another worthless type of doubling.

Re: 1999 Canadian 1 Cent Reverse Rim Mint Error Found
Going on the assumption those marks are raised, then it would appear that there is damage to the
rim of the striking die. If this is the case, it would not be classed as an an error but a variety and
there would be more of the same out there.
If those marks are concuse, then I have no explanation.

Re: $2 Bird Series
Just cut slightly off centre, not uncommon.
It is only worth a premium if part of the adjoining note is showing on it.

Your DE prefix would be listed on the top line that shows no prefix letters. This line includes all the common prefix’s. A pressed note is a note that through various techniques of flattening tries to restore minor folds or creases. This is frowned upon by collectors as it is a form of alteration. A...

Re: 1954 $2 replacement note
To be a low number, you have to have at least four zeros, preferably five in front of the serial number.
Yours is just a regular serial number.

Re: 1744 Quattrino struck in reverse
That is what is called a vise job or garage job.
Someone has taken three coins and squeezed them together.
No way that could happen during the minting process.

Re: 1998 One Cent
That is called zinc rot, seen it many times.
The copper plating has been compromised exposing the zinc core
which starts to rot when exposed to air. Might as well get rid of it
as it will only get worse with time.
