D. Unable to read year on this nickle. Is this a minting error?
Yes. In the middle of the night, three men broke into the mint, horribly defaced this coin with files, hammers, and a vice, then slipped it into the out-box. Well, on second thought, maybe not. It is, however, kind of noteworthy in the level of damage, and how evenly it has been destroyed. That takes a certain talent.
D. 2009 penny with Lincoln on a log no mint mark
Until 2017, cents circulated without mint marks when produced in the Philadelphia mint. Yours is circulated so it's fun but just a cent, they made many.
D. I have a buffalo nickel from 1937 Sanfransico mint and I had done a acid test only one the side of it and it came back silver what high value would it hold knowing they didnt make silver ones
I'm not sure what "acid test" you are doing in your basement but your nickel is made out of nickel and now that it has been subjected to acid, its collectible value has been compromised. If you weigh it you'll see it's pretty close to 5 grams and original. We buy these for 10-15 cents and sell them for 20-25 cents at shows.
D. US Half cent 1800
If authentic, your lovely half cent would retail around $150, being about fine. However it's a little suspicious in appearance, I'd want to inspect and weigh it to be sure.
D. 1963 d penny. Trying to see if this was a stamp mistake or something done by another person.
It could be an obstruction error such as struck through grease; but it could also just be heavy wear and damage. Hard to tell. Even if an error, it's not a big ticket item. And since it's so worn on the obverse, an error is less likely, and with this level of wear, it would be worth at most a few dollars. I'd say okay to spend, or keep it for the novelty.
D. 1988 is a die break at ear and made it a triple ear. The 1988 d is a double ear. They both are DDO, DDR, wide AM, and the D is an RPM. The D is the first double ear found. The P mint is the second found and it's a triple ear. Make me an offer. Thanks
My offer: don't give up your day job. You are reading a lot into a well circulated coin with typical wear.
D. 1982-d quarter still in good condition
Yes... good enough to spend. 1982 might seem old to you, but to me, it's the year I graduated high school, and a quarter from that year is just a quarter. There is a shortage of very high grade quarters from that year, but yours is well circulated.
D. China sinkiang 5 Miscals, ND 1906. PCGS VF - 25 gold shield
The PCGS price guide puts this at $101. They tend to cite high numbers, so I'd put the retail value at $75, and dealer/wholesale at $50.
D. 1982 d Lincoln penny small date weight is 3.1 grams thank you for your time
In 1982 they made a record number of cents, seven. Two from each mint in each alloy, the old bronze, and new copper-coated zinc. And a proof polished die type for collectors from San Francisco. All are common and spendable.
