Anyone have some info on Roosevelt dimes, particularly on Die Crack errors? See this photo. http://i17.ebayimg.com/01/i/07/12/82/78_1.JPG
That does not look like a die crack. If it is raised on the coin, then it might be a die scratch. If it is incused, then it is either post-mint damage, or a strike through error. Charlie
it appears to be a die scratch. A crack is unlikely to form on that spot on that coin since it is the deepest part of the die. Since it is so deep on the die it is the part of the die that is under the least stress during striking and is least likely to exhibit a crack.
Grade - What do you think? To he naked eye, it looks good. Under the camera, the photo reveals some pits and hairlines. Still, the halo is a neat anomaly.
EDITED--Since a member can't post a link to his own items it might not be a good idea to ask for them to do so.....use PM's for such questions. Sorry Speedy, but I checked his listings and it wasn't his (or at least not currently listed) so I figured that I wouldn't cause the problem you were concerned about. His response indicates that it is his coin, but it is not yet listed.
Send it to your buddies in Ohio...the SGS or Star "Grading" Service of "self-slabbers" will give it a MS70.
Midas; don't you think it is time to go find yourself an Escrow company, so that we can address your public bet?
By the way Mr. Muffler, they are not (as you put it in such coloquial language) my buddies. If they were my buddies, by now, I would have already obtained your real name and address, on account of the two purchases you made from them in 2004 -- remember the ones where you got your feelings hurt at the coin store and investment club. Maybe if you continue challenging the facts of life and continue to commit intentional acts of libel (printed false and disparaging statements) and upon their good name, maybe, just maybe they will send me your true name and physical address, out of courtesy of course, so that I can enforce your "public" bet. After all, it's just business, you know. And BTW, please stay safe on your water skiing excursions, my friend.
I wasn't worried about you.....but I knew that Steve was new and might not have seen the rules...sometimes when you are new you don't see them first... Just wanted to catch it before it happened. Speedy
I already won the bet...pay up...wait a minute, your SGS coins are just garbage coins packed in plastic. Why would I want that? BTW...many other forum members asked simple questions about SGS that you cowardly ducked. What's the matter?...the lipstick is wearing off of your "pig" SGS coins? As for the bet, let's get the forum up to speed. I bet my entire coin collection (on the eBay forum) that Aboncom and SGS are one in the same or very recently have "legally" seperated so they appear as two entities. Mr SGS has stated many times that Aboncom has NOTHING to do with SGS and that SGS has no financial interest in Aboncom and Aboncom has no financial interest in SGS...whatever Well...consider the following (from a previous thread from NPCoin...gotta love this research!): Reference: (Ohio Sec. of State website) There is a company called Star Collectors Ltd. registered to Larry Bence, the orginal founder of Abon. Abcon is currently registered to "Eric Sparks" of Mansfield, OH. WHOIS abon.com: Registrant: Abon Limited 115 Park Ave. West Mansfield, OH 44902 419-522-5346 Domain Name: ABON.COM Administrative Contact: Sparks, Eric esparks@abon.com 115 Park Ave. West Mansfield, OH 44902 419-522-5346 Now, when we cross-reference SGS into the picture (Abcon's manufacturing supplier), we have ANOTHER Mr. Sparks: "David Sparks". Okay, now you can say coincidence, right? So say it now: C-O-I-C-I-D-E-N-C-E......NOT! Take a very close look at the Registration information. The phone number is showing an area code from Arizona for Mr. Sparks of Bellville, OH. So, let's assume a typo then and he meant area code 419. Ok, that places him back into OH under the prefix district for Lima. But, that is over 60 miles west of Mansfield, and Bellville is less than 10 miles SOUTH! So, we know that something is wrong with this DNS registration! We have a name VERY similar to the registrant to Abon.com (Abcon) and within the same municipal area. The clue lies in the registrant's email contact! Now pay attention Warren, this may be hard for you to follow...

The first clue we have is the pictoral that "Mr. Sparks" (or should we say Chad Crider at this point?) kindly placed up for us. The Mapquest map clearly identifies Mansfield, Oh and NOT Bellville, OH. Try it! Go to Mapquest, and query Mansfield, OH and zoom out a bit. Then try it with Bellville, OH. See! The owner of bassplayinninja is clearly self identified as being from Mansfield, OH. And it is not "Mr. Sparks" as we had first been led to believe, but a Chad Crider....or is it??? He claims to be going to school to be a web designer.....hmmmm...... Off to round four....ccrider@baranlaw.com....

And why does some punk kid trying to learn web design have to do with them? And even more, what do they have to do with SGS and Abon!?!?!?! Well, they are some kind of law firm based in Mansfield, and Portsmouth, and Toldeo, and (get this) LIMA! They are self-proclaimed as an "agressive" law firm. You find no indication of any of the lawyers' names appearing anywhere in connection with Abcon and SGS, nor are either company listed as a "client". But one interesting point is that this company claims to offer services related to "Insurance Defense and coverage issues". And do not forget....THIS IS WHERE THE REGISTRATION FOR SGS/ABON (home of the MS/PR70 Everything) ABSOLUTELY ORGINATES!!!!!!!

Mansfield, OH 44902 (330) 425-3939 fax: (330) 405-4757 Now, we have to dig a bit deeper than just domain registries. Let's start with Edward Baran of our originating law office. There is an Edward Baran that resides in (where else?) LIMA, OH. Can we say coincidence? Now, take a close look at the photos provided by our ninja dood and by our law office. Doesn't Mr. Baran look ALOT like the "minister" in the photo? Just remove his obviously fake tupee and focus on the nose, adding a few pounds ('cause obviously the photo from the law office is older). Coincidence... Law Office Photo http://www.baranlaw.com/newsite/e-baran.html ninja dood's photo http://www.bassplayinninja.com/family.html ....coincidence? consipracy?? Anything is possible..... ok then.... well... Ninja dood lives on Lind Ave. and only 1/2 mile from "Mr. Sparks". Mr. Sparks is right off the highway! A nice cozy office within walking distance. um...Carol Fleming does not appear on the law office's counsel, so it must be an administrative employee, but why the 330 area code phone number for OH? Does area code 330 even exist? Is this registration "really" from the law firm or is somebody covering their hind quarters? And the address doesn't exist! Or does it? 500 Richland Trust Bldg certainly is not what the law firm claims to be their address on their home page. And how did Mr. Crider ever obtain an email address from their domain??? So....here is the final piece I'm going to give you. Anybody that really wants to dig and request a criminal investigation by the proper authorities, should be able to finish the preliminary info on the law office fairly easily. Ready????? Here it is: "Chad Crider's (or is it "Mr. Spark's" or was that "Mr. Larry Bence"...or should we just say "Bubba's future girlfriend" Yahoo Profile: http://profiles.yahoo.com/lowend446 Check out the link to abon!! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... People like this will ALWAYS get caught because the webs they weave will still be attached to their behind.
Midas: As I said before, regarding your bet, the first step is not to blow off the deal with hot air, but the correct step is to place your assets into an escrow account. I cannot verify your assets otherwise. Since you made a bet, the first step is the escrow company. When you have done this, have your escrow company contact me by mail with photos and description of each item. Also, you will need to hire an independent party to represent you during the execution of your bet, and then we will need to agree upon a party who is qualified to enforce it. When I have examined your assets, and they have been verified, then I will proceed. You have really jumped the gun, because I have not accepted your bet. I have asked you to place the thing into escrow. You have so far failed to perform on this most simple of procedures, and therefore, you Zack, are the fraud. So, show me that you are able to perform on your bet.
