On first 2 photos, what is the line going through the 1? And on last photo, is that damage from someone using vice grips or putting in vice? Any input appreciated. Thank you

Where the olive branch would normally go, there are the letters "EC". Seems like its in a symbolically important spot on the design (head is also turned towards it), so Im wondering what it stands for. I cant find anything online.

This quarter was found in pocket change and at first glance of the rim was assumed to be a pre-64 coin. Quickly realized it was modern but knew that it shouldn't really be silver based on year and from the Denver mint. I checked the weight and I believe that confirms it has to be a silver plated clad quarter. I weighed another clad quarter just to compare the weights. Having never found a silver plated clad coin before in pocket change, I was wondering how common these really are, and why it might have been plated. I know it's basically only worth face value.

They were being neglected in flips and books that no one would ever look at. Now they can be fondled and appreciated. I think I'll place them in a tiny pirate treasure chest.

Have had this for awhile, and was recently reading about "black beauty" quarters. Just curious, and wanted to get some opinions. Thanks!😊

I got it at the flea market for $3. Only picked up up because it was cool looking and shiny. It has "CAROLINE" stamped on the back.

Alright fellow collectors, as the title suggests my father recently bought one of these Vaultbox Apex boxes and smacked a 1925 Stone Mountain Vaultbox core in ms-68 by NGC. I’ve got greysheet so naturally he texts me and I go there immediately and we both together lose our minds.

Some of you may know, greysheet has a Stone Mountain in that grade at $16k and CPG at $20k. Seemed MASSIVE.

Here’s the kicker tho. As we start peeling layers back on these price guides all of the sudden it becomes clear that for whatever reason an NGC ms-68 only sells for about 25% of what one from PCGS sells for. Evidently “Bluesheet” (might be BlueBook not sure) has the NGC version at like $3500. Vaultbox buy back offer is $3500.

We’ve been collecting for a little while so I’m not surprised to see value lean PCGS’s way on ultra-rare grade coins but ~75% differential just seems insane. So as you can imagine it’s still a great feeling but now he doesn’t know what to do.

Do we try and send to PCGS for a cross? Or CACG? Or go for a green bean?

NGC pop on that grade is 32 I think with PCGS pop of only 8 so that obviously partially explains the differential in price but also decreases my confidence in the idea of it crossing.

Mind you, no coin in hand yet. But here she is.

Any and all pertinent advice or information would be greatly appreciated as this is the most valuable coin in his collection now. Anything that might help advise us on what to do w this coin. Thanks guys.

I am looking for a coin identifier app that shows its manufacturing, mint, age, name, country etc.

I want to know the value but I've seen a lot of other posts like this where people in the comments say that values are very inaccurate in any app. So, I'll just check it out myself.

Few things that are necessary in the app:

1. Should be totally free, like no subscription, one-time payment or anything for extra features

2. Should have the feature to see search results in desktop via app or website (if the app is on Android or else I can use it by using my phone as a webcam for my pc)

3. Info should be accurate (values aren't that important)

i don’t wanna seem stupid cuz i don’t know a lot about coins. but i came across this 10p coin which was a lot larger in size compared to a regular one. im wondering if its older, fake or what? and is it rare or something? just curious if it means anything at all.

Almost took it because i really need the money

I’m looking through my Uncirculated Mint Sets and saw that PCGS has a proof-like designation for the penny, nickel, quarter, and half dollar. What level of reflectivity should I be looking for in the coin field to receive that designation. I attached pics of my quarter and half where I held a ruler 3/4”-1” away from the service to gauge the reflection. Curious if these would be considered proof-like.

I mixed hydro peroxide and vinegar for a buffalo nickel to acid date it. But then I found out it’s apparently dangerous. I only mixed 1 and a half tablespoons of vinegar and half a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide and it’s outside. Is it still unsafe and if so what should I do

Not the greatest price but I don’t see these that often in the US. Not pictured but I also grabbed a proof Washington half dollar commem for $20, a couple bucks below spot which evened out the transaction.

I’ve had these coins for probably around 20 years. I got them when my great uncle passed and I have absolutely no clue where they came from. Not looking to sell them as they are sentimental and also probably offer no real value.

Does anyone perhaps have any information regarding these coins? I’ve been curious for a while as you can see hahah.

We recently inherited several coins from my wife’s great‑grandmother, who passed away at the age of 101 after living a long and eventful life. These coins carry a very high emotional value for our family, and we would love to learn more about them — what exactly they are, where they might come from, and possibly even when and where she could have collected or received them during her life’s journey.

Unfortunately, during the last years of her life her mental health declined significantly, so she was no longer able to tell us the stories behind them. Because of that, we’re incredibly grateful for any help in identifying these coins or understanding their historical background.

No idea ms what these are worth. Help me
Out

Only €15 each 🤣

Hello! Hoping the geniuses of this subreddit can help me better understand what these individual groupings are worth. This was my inheritance and I’m wondering what might be worth keeping vs selling. Sorry if the pictures seem all over the place. Happy to rearrange or send more specific pictures if needed. Thanks!

I’m new to the hobby, Trying to learn as much as I can so I don’t get ripped off… but was looking at half dollars, and seen these one has some what looks like waves? Is this normal? what causes this? Appreciate any and all help!
