Because I keep coming back to my favorite coin forum I'm going to post this thread. Alot of folks who visit the main forum have seen my 1902 Indian Head Cent with Longacre Doubling on the reverse side. The image is attached. I'm going to throw into the mix three Washington Dollar coins. I've researched all, and understand what two out of the three are, the third one is different though. Because this is "What's it Worth?" forum, y'all can leave your $$ below.
Penny: The first photo shows mainly strike doubling, or Longacre doubling for this coin. Common, no added value.
O.K.! 1st shots of ole Georges $1 Hey everyone! Took these with my not so good video blogger. I will take some more with the kodak, X a magnifier, X 30X Loupe. The next shots should give everyone a nice clean image of these ?? (I know, do you?). So, 3 distinct items to look at on 6 coins. The story behind these 6. I have not expressed that I receive propinas from my night job as a bartender. I am lucky to have some great regular friends who do things like leave me lots of change. These 6 Washingtons were a propina from 2 months ago. I just got to looking at them, and as the story goes, I spent three hours looking at coins that should have taken 5 minutes. I leave it to the experts! I want to ask about the "toning" of the single coin. Anything different with this one? Also the "toned" coin has the $ with slight doubling edges. You'd have to be an eagle eye to get it at X10. So, the one that really has any merit is the "toned" doubled $. The other two, I'm leaving to y'all to decide. I will add though that you might see something about inverse and obverse lettering..The circular mark on the front of George's face is not what you would find from the circumstances stated in the explanation of these marks. The circular object is not an embossed "O" because on an embossed "O" the outside line of the "O" would be raised and the inside of the "O" lowered, and this item the inside is raised. The future images will show that.
Now that I can see the post. The first shot is of all six coins (fuzzy). The second is a shot of the "toned" coin. The third shot is of the $ sign that has slight doubling on the inside top of the $ and the lower right outside edge. The fourth shot shows the mysterious mole on my George. This one is going to be tough to confirm as what everyone wants to confirm it as because of the parts of the mole that are "rasied" and "lowered". There is also a shot of something very similar on about.com and these coins. I don't have the page URL copied, so I ain't leaving it now. If you find that one, notice the similar placement of that images "mole" and how they explain it. I did notice that that "mole" has the right "rasied" and "lowered" parts for it to be what they say it is. Mine does not. (Unless it was an embossed one that did it). The fifth shot is of the edge of one of the Georges. Between the N and U in unum you can make out a fuzzy edge. It is what it looks like even if it is fuzzy here. Again, I agree with the explanation. I have not explained what I've found only because I want to here from the smarts here at Cointalk.org Pennybids, I mean Damian
