That’s one of those feeding fingers Dan sold at the 10th anniversary of his press. Very cool. TC

 

Woo Hoo . . . !

 

Two new arrivals in today’s mail.

 

Is the date incuse, too early for me but it looks post strike.

 

It’s really tough to tell, even looking close through a loupe. The more angle I put on the coin, the more it disappears even or below the surface. My feeling is that it is incuse. I find it hard to believe, on the other hand, that Daniel would hand stamp each one individually.

Hopefully he will chime in.

 

An addendum to my previous post.
I was looking at photos from other posted Antique finished dollars and the 1921 is in a different placement on each one. It does appear they are hand stamped after all.

The placement of these two are similar but note how the 2 in 21 is higher in one than the other.

 

Some recent arrivals. Enjoy, TC

 

On your piece which is a much clearer photo, It looks like there is evidence of displaced metal on each side of the number. Pretty neat. As there doesn't seem to be any evidence of a counterstamp on the reverse.

 

The displacement is what makes it so hard to tell if it is incused or not. The area in between lights up when looking through a loupe, giving it the appearance that it could be either raised or incused.......very deceiving.

 

Okay Carr guys, just HOW COOL is this . . . . . ?

I need to get a Carr hobo nickel. TC

 

Do you suppose he counterstamps them while they're resting on a reverse die?

 

Yes, stamped obverse and reverse in the same location.
