If that is a private mint coin, it is probably the weight of the coin.
How much would a 1977 dime stamped on a penny blank be worth?
Since a penny blank won't fit into the machine when it's stamping dimes, it is virtually impossible to strike a dime on a penny blank. You would need to have your coin professionally examined and certified before you could even consider putting a value on it. Try checking out the ANACS Show page to see if they will be attending any coin shows in your area, where you can take your coin and have it examined for free : http://www.anacs.com/Default.aspx?Page=4

How do you find out if your new york state quarter double stamped with New York state on both sides is real and what the value is if it is?
I would bet money that it's a manufactured novelty item known as a Magician's Coin -- worth about $2 Use a magnifier to look for a seam, just inside the raised rim, on one side of the coin or the other. This seam is evidence that the coin has been altered. If still in doubt, you can get a free professional appraisal from an ANACS appraiser at any show that ANACS attends. They list their upcoming show on their website : http://www.anacs.com
What does a 1934 Washington Quarter double die obverse graded by ANACS MS63 die4 mean?
Well, first off it is a Washington Quarter dated 1934, it is in mint state condition. Coins are graded on a scale from 1-70 with 1 being nearly recognizable and 70 being perfectly flawless. Mint state means the coin has no evidence of circulation, however, it might have scratches from hitting other coins in a bag or a roll. Doubled die obverse means that there was a mistake when the master dies were made and if you look closely parts of the legend are on there twice. Die 4 is the designation of the particular doubled die, certain dies might have slightly different doubling. ANACS means that it was graded by ANACS.
What is a 1987 silver eagle ms-70 anacs certified coin worth?
The market value of a MS-70 (perfect) certified coin depends on the company that did the certification. ANACS has lost a lot of it's credibility since it was sold to ICG and is not quite as highly regarded as they use to be. I hate to say this, but check e-Bay for past sales for an idea of value. Or take it to as many coin dealers as you can.
Is there a 1917 wheat penny mis struck with a reversed back?
Sounds like an altered coin. I suggest you find a coin show where ANACS will be attending, and get a free professional appraisal from them. They list their upcoming show on their website : http://www.anacs.com == == Be sure of what you mean by "reversed". ALL U.S. coins have their back sides oriented 180 degrees from their fronts, so that they point in opposite directions if you flip the coin from side to side like a book page. If that's the way your coin is oriented it's an ordinary cent. If both sides point the same way you'll need to have it professionally inspected, as suggested above.
How much is a 1978 Lincoln Memorial penny?
If it's a genuine flip-over double strike error, it could be worth $50 to $100 or more. If it's something that some person did to the coin after it left the mint, it's worthless. Check out the ANACS website for information on how to submit your coin for certification, and also for a list of shows they attend, where you can take your coin and get a free first-hand professional appraisal : http://www.anacs.com
What do you mean a dirty coin?
what u mean by a dirty coin is a coin that is dirty, dusty and sticky ( not most of the times it can be sticky).
What is value 1851 silver dollar featherhead?
If by 'featherhead' you mean an Indian Head, then the coin is a counterfeit, most likely from China. Silver dollars minted in 1851 have an allegorical figure of Liberty in a seated position, holding a shield inscribed 'Liberty', and a Phrygian cap on a long pole. The reverse has an eagle with a stars & stripes shield on its breast. If your coin looks like this, then I would recommend that you show it to a reputable dealer or send it to one of the reputable grading/authentication services (PCGS, NGC, ANACS). If genuine, it is quite a scarce coin. Good Luck!
How much is a penny worth that was made too thin?
You would first need to determine what you have -- whether it was struck on a defective planchet, or struck on a planchet intended for a different coin, or some kind of novelty item, or whatever. I suggest you check out the ANACS website to see if they will be attending any coin shows in your area, where you can take your coin and get a free first-hand professional appraisal : http://www.anacs.com/shows.html Once you know exactly what you have, then we can determine a value for it.
