Yay!
No, I find it fascinating. It does however, get old seeing it on many threads.
How off center is the 1981?
I use GIMP all the time. I must admit, it does a pretty good job, too.
What do you want to know? EDIT: Thanks for new information.
I think I'm going to stick with my rock tumbler :D.
As I said earlier, you can see woodgrain on some copper cents and bubble plating on some zinc ones, but otherwise, it is difficult. The strikes on...
It looks like large date. 9 proofs in a roll is pretty good, I haven't gotten any in a roll.
How about the other end of the grading spectrum? [ATTACH]
Oh, ok. I usually look at the 8 in the date when determining if it is small or large date. I don't have pictures, but I think that it is easier to...
No, some of the small dates are copper, and vice versa.
The copper ones are heavier, and sometimes the cent will have the woodgrain effect, making it copper, or it will have bubbled plating, making it zinc.
Is it the same size as a normal dime?
I found a 63D roosie in a reject tray of a counting machine once.
An incomplete clip would effect both sides, would it not? It looks more like an indent to me.
It's probably plated. We need pictures to determine, though.
The way the coining chamber works, it would be very very unlikely that a reverse die cap would happen. As others have said, pictures are...
You beat me by seconds, Hobo. (your answer is better, too.)
That is die polish. They are not cleaned.
Original bank roll I'm assuming, not a roll from circulation. It's really nice, I like it.
