Visited my friend Doug at Newfound Coin & Jewelery in Bristol and this was in a mix of foreign coins I got a really good deal on, about 10 pounds of coins altogether. What do you think? Also picked up 10 pounds of tokens which had a nice mix also, some medals, etc.
I LOVE searching through lbs of coins and I also enjoy the old large pennies. I think you are going to have lots of fun
I had terrible internet speed up in N.H. at the timeshare. What got me on this was the bold die clash showing the entire bust on the dated side. What interests me, not knowing this series all too well, is how only the bust shows and nothing else. Perhaps it's not even a clash but something else I am not familiar with? Hoping someone will help me out on this one. Mark, my new indoor camera system worked great with one exception... I could see my "Popeye" sitting on my chair at the kitchen table waiting for me to come home, broke my heart. She was well taken care of while I was gone but...well, you would know about animals.
I started to go through them while I was away. Some really good stuff, 1800's, early 1900's, lots of nice early Canadian cents, German Reichmarks. I even got a Budweiser vintage beer tap with a wood handle from Doug really cheap.
Yes indeed - Had 3 runner ducks with health problems - taken to the Avian vet - now put in with my main runner flock. My runners are 3 pounds, Huge Pekin male is 8# - and was attacking them now that he is hormonaly controlled - so I put my 3 runners into the runner coup and everything is fine!!
The effect you see is called ghosting. It's not a die clash, the effect comes from the use of a high relief portrait against a lower relief obverse. It's pretty common on pennies and halfpennies, especially during the late teens.
