D. 1953 wheat penny , on back side it appears to be the number 1 printed on the left side on the wheat.
It sure looks like that. It's an unusual shape for a "die cud," whereby the die is missing metal and a raised spot corresponds on the coin. It could be that. But whatever it is, it does not add much value to this otherwise common coin. Plus the dark oxidation spot kind of cancels things out. So it's one for the "dollar bin."
D. 1999d imperfection on both sides in different spots doesn’t go through
"Imperfections" imply mistakes made by the mint. This coin is rather terribly damaged.
D. I'm just looking to see if this is an actual error coin or if it is damage from a coin counter or something. I know the front is, I just wasn't sure about the back. 2006 D Also an off center 1972 coin.
I don't know what was done to this coin, but it almost certainly happened after release to circulation and contributes no value. I don't know why do many 1972 cents are struck just a tiny amount off-center, often we see them 1-2 percent off. Whatever the reason, so many ended up that way, it remains just a cent. Keep hunting!
D. 2006 d mint bronze nickel
Nickels have a lot of copper and this is just environmental damage.
D. The color differentiation of the coin is unusually weird. It also appears to be double plated with an extra layer (you can actually see its wore away through the years. The N ,in the phrase "In God we Trust". The N is slanted pretty noticeable... Can't really see if it's a 1969s Double Die Obverse but it sure looks as if it could be..
Nothing remarkable here; to the contrary, it has deep scratches and damage. Keep hunting!
D. Apologies if this isnt anything. From what i can see and feel, it was not carved in. It does not flake, and is slightly raised, as if someone dropped a small metal scrap before stamping it. The chin and part of the hair is still defined within the metal lump. I was curious if this was anything to write home about.
My best guess is, nothing to write home about. Hard to say without inspecting in person. Take it to a coin show!
D. Just wanted to see if they considered that a error thank you.
Sorry... it's not.
D. 1917s Wheat Penny With Error ??!!
Deep damage.
D. This torch lamp has been in my family since I was a little girl. It lights but I really don't have a use for it and I will be moving out of state in a few months and afraid to move it. It stands 65" from the floor to the top of the light. I would like to know what it is worth and sell it.
It's truly beautiful and reminds me of the ones I grew up with. I want you to keep it. Or give it to me. But the market for antiques is weak. If I were selling it I would want $350. You could put it on Craigslist, or eBay for local pickup. We would pay next to nothing, antiques are too much work and we have to mark them up several hundred percent.
