I've seen these marks on virtually all denominations and still can't puzzle out how they form. My current guess is that when the coins are bagged...
I suppose this would count as a misaligned die, assuming it is an error? If so, I can't tell if the die was rotated enough to add value, but it is...
Assumming you're looking for the big DDO, none of these are it. I'd toss them in a copper jug.
I looked hard but I don't see a clash. I do see a hit near the word UNITED on the reverse and another ding on the obverse on the star nearest the...
I've had this coin for quite a while but never really looked at it much. I'm not even sure if it is a real Roman coin, so whatever information you...
It could either be a gouge that moved some metal or some solder added to the coin. Hard to tell, but nothing special in the end.
I would say that this could be classified as a lamination error, and that the lines on the coin are from the planchet making process. Either the...
No matter how good a photographer you are, it's always easier to see the coin in hand and determine from there. I would try bringing it to a show...
As has been said on another site you repeated this post on, there's nothing of note here.
For general knowledge on US coins, the red book is great. For prices, not so much. The modern mintage figures can be expected to be corrected in...
I think it could just be die deterioration. The dies for the buffalos didn't stay in pristine condition for long, so can be seen on the "melting"...
Even if there is a minor rotation, it's too small for any premium IMO.
Try putting it in acetone for a short time. If it disappears, you'll know it was PMD.
Looks like it might be a bit of Longacre doubling, a type of doubling which isn't "real" doubling. Eddie, that coin looks pretty similar to one...
Yes, a minor misalinged die seems right. If you look through boxes of halves you'll see these minor ones fairly frequently, particularly in the...
I would concur with acid being the culprit
This is definitely within mint standards. I think around 15-25% rotation is where the premiums begin.
I like buying silver for under melt and then not selling, and with foreign silver it's often possible. Just wait for the right buys.
I don't know much about these, but my first thought is whether this is authentic. Looks a tad funny to me, but if they were cast when made (which...
Closer pics would be preferable. From here, it looks like a struck-through error. What method of PMD and what indicators are you looking at,...
