Pocket change #3

Welcome all. This will be a continuation of die cracks found in pocket change so I highly encourage you to continue looking through your change, I'm not fond of using the word common so let me just say some cracks are plentiful but some you'll have to look for a long time. So let's all have some fun please enjoy the photos.

What you see is what you get be a little more Pacific in what you're expecting I will try and help you as much as possible.

 

PS other members tend to frown on too many closeups.

 

Close ups are fine usmc60. BUT we want full pics too. Closeups alone don't provide context. For example, that lincoln appears to have a bisected rim to rim die break which can be quite collectable if it goes solid from rim to rim which we can't tell because there is no full pics!!! Plus maybe others will see something ypu don't with full pics. So again, I ask that you please post full pics of obverse and reverse along with your closeups. You will then see others wanting to post replies and comments on your threads more

 

"Specific"

 

@usmc60

I'm not sure if that is a die crack along the rim of the nickel. It looks more like the metal flow from a deteriorated die. Note the poor condition of the letters.

Of course, it might be easier for us to tell if we could just see a photo of the entire coin. If I showed you a close-up of a one-quarter square inch patch of tree bark, would you be able to tell me what kind of tree it is?

Chris you must have a fetish about full photos

 

Atlantic

 

agreed full photos

 

In the short time you've been here, you still don't get the message. I'm not the only one who has asked you to post full photos. You claim it is a crack. So, prove it by showing us a full photo so that we can judge the overall condition of the coin.

Chris

 

Thank you for your reply is this what you want tell me from this photo what you observe?

 

Chris I understand what you and the other members want and we have had this discussion before. Y I don't know the crack is from point a to point B and your right i may have missed something that dime is about the full photo that I'm capable of giving right now so please Chris tell me what you see in the dime?

 

PS Chris and all other members if you're looking at in 1955 cent and you put a 1954 on one side and a 1956 on the other side guess what all three coins look the same except the date now if the 55 was a double die you wanna see the to doubling to prove it and that's not a photo of the full coin just the doubling on the date which is the focal point of the doubling. Believe me gentlemen I'm working on it so you'll be able to look at all the full photos that you want and then you can say what are you trying to show us either way it's a no win situation.

 

Why so defensive? Some years are prone to have been a result of die deterioration. It isnt just a die crack to some of us. the whole coin can define the reason why.It is just nice to see the whole coin. Unless your opinion is the only one that matters.

 

This is, quite possibly, the longest sentence I've ever read.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you tell me once before that you don't have a regular camera and all you have is one of the "microscope cameras"? In that case, it's my fault because I forgot that you can't take full-coin images.

Honestly, I don't see anything in the dime except typical circulation damage.

Chris

 

I think I understand what you are trying to say. If you don't have a regular camera, it does make it hard.
