Too soon? ;)
I never told you what you can or can't post, I said if you're going to have thin skin, maybe you should become better informed. The notching...
I'm not OP. If you're not going to accept other users disagreeing with your opinion, maybe don't post things that are poorly informed.
You sure that's a Roosevelt and not a Kennedy?
@cpm9ball Whatever this is is not MD. @RBurk Hard to say if this is a die gouge/dent or a very minor DDO. Wexler lists several DDOs for late...
Just a minor struck through grease from the looks of it.
If you own a USB microscope, even old eyes should be up to the task!
In general? Yes. Most double struck coins have the first strike on center in the collar and then something happens as the coin is exiting the...
To me is just looks like dirt on the coin's surface, but it could be a small lam. Agree that better pictures would be useful.
Yes, the variety exists on both P and D. The one OP posted is not an example of the variety though.
Thanks for the much better picture. Now that I see this, the clash is better than it looked at first. I see Washington's chin on the left wing and...
It's actually much harder to see in the close up you made than in the full photo because you have less contrast from the shadows hitting different...
The detail you highlighted contains both a contact mark and a minor clash. The one going out from the eagle's mouth is a contact mark, the one...
Looks like a very minor "spitting eagle" clash mostly polished out of the dies. Keep it if you like it, but no real value.
This "fake" cent you're railing against is almost certainly just the result of a middle school science experiment in zinc plating a real US cent.
Floating roofs and no FG are just minor die abrasion events. Part of the normal aging process of a die to have finer details removed with use, and...
My cellphone camera is damaged, so the full coin photos are blurry, but the relevant details are shown under USB scope and should be very clear.
These are worth a few hundred bucks if you get one in even low MS red condition, so worth being able to identify imo.
No, the reverse of 89 would be a fresh die since they only started using the 89 reverses at the end of the calendar year when they started to run...
Whatever, dude. This is not worth the time.
