Is the coin worth more than the denomination of the coin?

 

Depends on the coin! A 1913 V Nick? Yes! A 2008 penny? Not really.

 

i'm not counting that question, but it does give a big hint!

Is it the mintmark?

 

Is it the date?

 

Is it a specific image we're looking for?

 

A16,17,18 - No. But I'd like someone to post an image of an example of it. Doesn't have to be a specific image.

Is it the 'flash' of a proof?

 

A21 - What do you mean? I'm guessing it is not what I am talking about, but I'd still like to learn about it, just in case.

 

Thanks, Art, for reminding me to answer this one.

I'm running out of things on this one. Is it the mintmark?

 

A23 - No.

 

Big hint: It is something that could happen to any coin. It is almost fully independent of denomination, design, alloy, or age. It could happen to an ancient Greek coin just as easily as a modern American proof.

A27,28,29 - No. Look back at the first sentence of my "Big Hint". You may want to think about my wording.
