Ah, if that's the case, that's more the behavior I would expect from a respected auction house like Sothebys. You're probably right.
If I were the owner I would feel privileged to fondle it to my heart's content. And if I were the buyer, I wouldn't be surprised at that. What I...
Happy Birthday you guys!

If she holds that coin any tighter she's going to flip it into the air like Paddyman's avatar. :) Not quite the rim, but if you're modeling a...

Haha, yup. It's really a thing. Saw this one from @paddyman98 himself:...
Oohhh, nice. I'm jealous now. :wideyed: All my bought wheat rolls are full of crappy pennies.
It's best to open a new thread, @Tuna - you get more correct responses that way. I was wondering how the coin you showed matches the one the OP...
So... the first thought that comes to my mind is: why is Sothebys providing a picture of someone mashing the multi-million dollar gold coin...
Hey, here are a couple of fun die chips in the lower part of liberty's 'B' and in the 5. I'm not quite sure if there is the start of an IIB chip...
That's a good point. I can see how a lamination can easily move surface area over, even without apparent damage - just simple wear.
Hmm, so I guess damage to the A at the point of the lamination could move that lower leg. Sounds reasonable. It's probably even easier to slide...
