1. The design is nice if you can trust the materials. 2. I don't trust Communists (foreign or domestic) to tell the truth about anything. 3. Why...
I read a book by Scott Travers about coin investing "Do's & Don'ts". One of the big "DON'Ts" was buying bulk cent rolls...especially circulated...
I love die cracks...well done! The way the Obverse design interacts with the Reverse design determines the primary stress points and the life of...
Welcome to CT!
A while ago, I would come in after a late night of carousing and spend an hour or so seeing what eBay had to offer. Reminds me of a line from an...
It seems like a skill we would want to share on CT...or is it really all about the $$$?
If I found a 2021 cent that looked like that, you would have to pry it away! That's why I can't believe the apparent wear is from circulation....
Pocket piece makes sense. There's also some grime around the perimeter and in the devices which suggests an old cleaning.
Lol...like Jordan Belfort on ludes. :D
Welcome to CT! :D It's not a known error. Post mint damage (PMD) and/or dirt most likely.
It looks nice to me, but I'm not an expert... @Fred Weinberg is the expert! As an error novice, I'm trying to understand the wear/strike. I can't...
Hmm...maybe wear. Hopefully @Fred Weinberg has time to share an opinion. [ATTACH]
True...but he's at the "Mint". Why not use a new coin? Perhaps he didn't want to be accused of stealing. A Cent could actually buy something back...
...or possibly an intentional error of the era...using a circulated coin. It's hard to understand why someone would go to the trouble, though.
Yep...I was expecting a new die variety! :woot:
You have some nice coins...inheritance?
I was thinking the same thing...the second strike seems to have better detail. Could that be the result of a really weak first strike? ...or...
Slab away! :woot: It's interesting that it has any circulation wear at all. Who's gonna spend a coin like that?
A beautiful tribute to a good friend. :) ...and a nice pic of you as an added bonus! :woot: My father passed just a few months earlier. He taught...
The old cleaning and Obverse gouges at 1:30 and 7:30 are detractors, but it should still receive a decent grade. Overall, it's a nice coin!
