I see extra thickness on the date...in the second coin. It's a drag how quickly these Zincolns disintegrate. And since zinc is as soft as pure...
Nice find--congrats! :D
And there are those sellers who put coins under a power buffer and sell them as "BU"--and people buy them. :hungover:
I suspect it's a charm, because the symbols on one side don't appear on cash coins. Wish I could help with the other characters--if they are legible.
:p This guy is numismatic comedy--that's more like VG10 - F12 (at best).
Exactly--and a badly cleaned example at that. Interesting how his attributions err towards higher-value varieties. :rolleyes:
Yeah...spelling sure isn't his strong suit. So I sent the guy an email and was told he "took it to a coin dealer in the business for forty years...
Took a good look at this seller's coin--I mean, it's gotta be the the one, right? Don't you see the 8/7? It's as plain as day... :bored: [IMG]...
That's an interesting error, but I do wonder what the seller paid for it? Probably a bit shy of their $199,500 asking price.
Well, I never said I was considering buying this awful coin--or buying any attributed variety for that matter. I collect overdates, but I do all...
From the pics, I wasn't sure which one, until I saw the marker above on the "U"--that clinches it for me. It doesn't get much better than this for...
Really, that's the truth--it's always better to buy a more worn overall, but problem-free coin than one with such huge, glaring issues.
Wow--nice "logic" on that price! I don't think fractions work in this case LOL :rolleyes: I'm not looking to buy one attributed, especially not...
Here's the auction--the Anacs slab says "AU50 details", but I don't consider that a valid grade either. :depressed:
The coin was struck in San Francisco--no proofs were made of wartime issue Aussie coins. :) As for what caused all those lines, I think a close...
Yeah--something highly corrosive like acid hit it, but the "cleaning" job sure didn't help either. :depressed:
Yeah--this coin is painful to look at, it looks like a zombie aka walker from The Walking Dead! :hurting: It had me thinking...if I found it,...
Corroded zinc Lincolns, nearly falling apart.:yuck:
I don't know this particular coin that well, but I scrutinize date styles pretty carefully. It's rather odd how the date stands out amidst weaker...
From what I recall, these tokens are gold plated?
