It seems that it would be a bit embarrassing to have to walk back a dramatic global silver shortage statement to instead mean that they're running...
That means you could make an excellent professor someday. I think it's a pre-req, in fact. And welcome to CT @Paul Rendon! The guys around here...
Huh, no idea on the question, but the V.D.B. initials took me on a google journey and I found this interesting article on him. Thanks! :)...
Yep, I agree. I just (I think/hope?) followed all the rules required to submit this to cuds-on-coins. We'll see if it arrives. Thanks again for...
I wonder if this is related to CU-1c-1955D-01R in http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-cuds-1950-1958/
Thanks for the link! Wow, I didn't even realize these were tracked... I need to start paying attention the the websites I'm given in the future :)
Oh, hmm. Ok. I was thinking that was just a lamination crack that had become worn down over time. So it might be some sort of idb eh?
I'm presuming this is a lamination - the edge crack looks too defined to be some sort of die break. Whatever it is, it looks like it's been there...
Huh... well, not a complete failure, I suppose. It looks to me like they've made a fairly consistent and well performing tarnishing agent.
Now you've got me thinking, Eddie, and I have another question. I've read several places that the roller lines are because the rollers are...
Thanks @John Burgess, that sounds consistent with what I've been reading. Also it seems, at least as far as US copper pennies go, the improper...

Nice. I see how you have streaks that start and then taper off (even blobs), instead of being exact all the way through the coin. Nice examples,...
A couple I can find from a previous list of sites I was given: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Errors/ClippedPlanchet.html...
Hah, I understand. At this point I'm so new to collecting that I'm not sure what I like yet. I'll hold onto it until I need space for something...
So, how's this for a tragic result. I've got what I think here is a: 1) 1982 zinc [ATTACH] 2) With a large date [ATTACH] 3) and with a thick...
error-ref had a comment about roller marks but no examples. I found examples elsewhere, though and yup, I can see the difference. Still cool...
Thanks for the info @Oldhoopster. From what I'm reading roller marks are surface area only and are akin to toning changes - they can be worn off...
Nice! That 1955 S is gorgeous.
Found this while going back through my penny jar a second time. I'm actually assuming this is an improper alloy mix - it's not as cool as...
