Hello Everyone! For those of you who don't know, I buy a lot of un-searched wheat rolls, and search them! I usually find a few neat things here and there. Today I found these two beauties. I pulled them out, and looked at them carefully. I noticed they both had something going on with the reverses. One has black streaks, and the other is a different color on the other half. Unusual toning or error? Thanks!
first one could be a very rare error on ebay! Flame broiled, with sear marks. LOL I guess toning. Great coins!
Fairly common with the doubling. The coin with doubled profile could be just mechanical, master, or over die polishing doubling and fairly common. If the mintmark has the what appears to be D/D if doubled in the same direction as the profile doubling it may not be an RPM also but part of the above mentioned type of doubling. Nice toning though - I wonder, where there more coins in that roll toned like this or were these the "end roll coins? Ben Peters
The coin is artficial toning on the 58 and so badly scratched it's not a doublied die and there's no CUD at nine oclock either that;s a stain. The profile is due to scratches that;s what your seeing. The lower part of the chin and neck is Machine doubling .The 55 seems to be natural toning. Jazzcoins joe
