Very interesting. I also lean towards struck through copper as opposed to missing clad layer if it is an error (but I am still not very good at...
Hey all! I found this 2004-D Michigan quarter in circulation and am interested in your opinions: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I think it looks...
Thanks guys! It fills a spot in my folder so I'll just leave it be and chalk it up to some die deterioration or a hit! Thanks
Looks like a possible RPM? Interested in your thoughts. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I would say it is an excellent long-term set to work on! I started it probably 5 years ago and only have 1/3 of the coins since it's a bit of an...
I only do portraits and do not restrict myself to a specific metal. At first I only wanted imperial issues but found a provincial Augustus I...
It's probably worth more than a quarter, being an S-mint (not intended for circulation) issue, with a far lower mintage than the Denver and...
Same here
Just noticed this old thread. Did you ever come to any conclusion as to what these were or send it in? Do they occur on both P and D coins or only...
People will say anything even if they have no idea what they're talking about :hilarious:
Very cool coins. I love the Justinian follis.
I agree that it appears to be a true doubled die based on split or "notched" serifs and extra thickness. I'm not convinced the doubling on the ear...
Pretty sure it's obvious that the dark coloration is what the OP saw and made them think it was an improperly annealed error.
Oh how interesting. I'm wondering if I looked at an incorrect number in my book on accident. That does look spot on. Is that from the 2017...
Agreed. I know I certainly would keep all the NIFC and proofs I'd find. I definitely wouldn't put proofs back into circulation even if impaired....
Agreed, split plating: https://www.error-ref.com/split-plating/ Technically a plating error, but exceptionally common I believe.
Agreed. Notice how the reverse is mottled in color and not uniformly darkened. You can tell its some sort of oxide layer rather than the color of...
Fair, especially for the state quarters--but lots of new varieties are discovered frequently. I do agree that looking at VarietyVista or Wexler's...
Fantastic group of coins! The three owls are definitely my favorites.
I agree with closeups of those three letters in particular. There looks to be some possible extra thickness consistent with a doubled die,...
Separate names with a comma.
