Here's what looks to me like a lamination crack on the reverse of a 1944S LWP. How it completely separated the lower left leg of the A in America,...
Happy Birthday! Unfortunately the US Mint has postponed the pre-order windows for the remaining 2021 Morgan and Peace silver dollars so they can...
There's Wexlers: https://doubleddie.com/721655.html
Thanks! It was a hard fought battle with the mouse for those arrows. I eventually succeeded though! :)
I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with that. That plus there does not seem to be any crack or separation along the rim that you would expect...
The plastic guard at the bottom of the USB microscope is moving the penny over and keeping me from getting closer to the flaw. This is about as...
Sorry for the delay, it's taking some time to fine tune my precise equipment. :) [ATTACH] Here's what I'm seeing pointing down at the lower edge...
Here are three snaps as close as the USB microscope would let me get at three focus points, first at the rim, second on the field and third at the...
Is there a different angle or lighting you guys can suggest I can use to clarify that spot?
Hah, I hear ya. About the same for me, as long as I quit spending money on things like the 2021 Morgan dollars :D
Ah, yeah, I'm an old guy, but just now started collecting and getting interested in the subject. I suppose I'm preparing for my retirement (which...
Seems reasonable, but the part that confuses me is that I've understood a die crack shows up as a raised line on the coin, a sort of 'scar' if you...
That's my best guess from all 36 days of collecting and analysis experience I've acquired thus far. :)
Apparently you can even buy these https://www.ebay.com/itm/253464012347 *Dime not included :D Is yours magnetic?
Obviously the reverse is simply a missing clad layer. :)
haha, trust me, you're better off. I think I spent 20 minutes just undoing poorly created arrows and recreating them. :D
Ah, I agree. This has more hallmarks of a lamination crack than a retained lamination, I think. Ok, so here is my analysis. The Blue arrows are...
Hmm, but this looks like it's a crack on the coin itself, instead of a raised area that would indicate a crack on the die, right? If it's a crack...
Huh, you know I didn't notice that before. I took a couple of closeups to that area and I think you're right - that is a crack. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
