I really want to help you solve this problem Eddie ,but i told you in an earlier post i have no braincells left for this, and I will prove how my brain is becoming since you started this thread.I will give it one more try post mint damage, and brain damage. ............................ Eddie all kidding aside, sure doe's look like machine doubling honest, the way the metal is pushed up on the lip area. Vanished :vanish: Jazzcoins Joe have a good day eddie:whistle::whistle:
Aw don't worry about it, buddy, I had a hard day yesterday. But that could very well be my brain in that frying pan, too. I'm just trying to figure this out. And I know we've got the specialized knowledge-base, here...members who have actually been there, done that, at the Mint. But that doesn't always mean you can catch them when you need them...when you've got a question like this. PS: And thank you for asking about my avatar! It's Easy Goer. Here, take a look at this 2 minutes and 1/5 seconds of epic horseracing history: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbi9VKcR710 And make sure you turn that volume up!
Ed I'm not kidding around what you have there is machine doubling. I',m an error collector and i'm pretty sure that's what it is I could tell by the metal on the lip area like i said before. I have 1966 kennedy halve dollar that i thiought was a double die ,and it's machine doubling, and it looks just like yours on the lip area the metal being pushed up by the:hammer: force of the strike.:hammer::hammer: Jazzcoins Joe :whistle:
OK Joe, that's a go, me oh myo! There was obviously some rocking and rolling going on when this coin was struck, given what that date looks like. I could see that. I just didn't have the know-how to connect it up with those marks! :thumb: :bow:
Well, do you know what? I'm still not satisfied. Upon further reflection, none of these explanations cut the die so to speak with me. People are dropping in and out of here all the time. I think maybe what this thread needs at this point is some fresh blood. Call me hog-headed stubborn but I still just can't conceive of those apparently carefully cut and placed marks as random damage nor as the result of the obvious jolt this coin took at the moment of impact (as evidenced on the date and mm). Anybody else here intimately familiar with the mechanics of the die-cutting or modification process, this is your big opportunity. Thanks.
True Eddiespin maybe we all need to get fresh blood it worked for Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones:hatch:
Easy Goer with Pat Day aboard - It's too late now - but I was looking for someone from the numismatic community with horse sense. A lot of help you were in my "I Want Revenge" thread posted in the bullion section. How about tooling or machine marks - post strike. Like a staple puller or something.
Those a potatoe chips alright and to me all machine doublingwere you mentioned and some Die deterioration mix in , and the grade is EF45 in my eyes Eddie i have dejavue sorry posted twice JC
I would say a die chip near the bow tie ,and the rest of the coin is machine doubling and may have some die deterioration doubling mixed in to mand the grade is EF45 to me
Interesting thread, LOL, just went to your profile and pulled it up from your statistics. Don't know how I could have missed it! Could be that, post-mint mischief, but why? Looks rather like a workout of some kind, either to that die or hub. You ask me, somebody did something to that thing. Leave you with this easy one. "And Sunday Silence surges to the front! Blushing John, trying to fight back! Easy Goer, with one, final, acceleration! And it was, <FILL IN THE BLANK>, in a racing epic!" Now aren't you glad you dropped in?
Joe, I already know what you think on those marks. On that grade...which, btw, was never requested by me...that good, huh? In my horse's ass, respectfully submitted.
What do I look like, a photography studio? EDIT: It'll take a little doing, but I'll try when I can find the time. Multi-tasking about 5 different things right now. Just hold your horses.
