Hmm...it could be silicone rubber, which is pliable and shouldn't react with metals. But that would mean the whole insert is silicone rubber--I...
Very nice, esp. the portrait! I have to wonder how NGC gets ancients to fit inside those 4 plastic fingers--do they use any force?
Yeah--I noticed something odd about the "S" in CENTS, and the beading in the center seems to change shape around the circle. Perhaps it's MD or a...
The 1954 6d is nice, but the obverse is obviously a later die state of a business strike. 1954 proofs are very rare/valuable. Also, the San...
What are you seeing?
Belgium is a great country to find overdates easily--I'm sure there's a dozen right now on ebay.
The 8/9 on this overdate is pretty dramatic--it's an easy one to spot even in online pictures. While this is described as an 1901/801, this coin...
Her face and hair appear more detailed as well.
OP's coin on left, certified on right. I also see some differences... [IMG]
Really amazing picks for $0.25 apiece! Your 1943 Australia halfpenny is also a doubled die reverse. It's a class 6, distended double die--the...
That's a real nice find--I have yet to find one.
It's a mud swallow nest--I mean die chip! :)
Yes--some of them will resell for a nice margin. :)
The Ireland 1966 10 Shilling is a nice design! I read in Krause that "Approximately 1,270,000 melted down" (out of 2 million struck). It gives a...
That's a nice RPD! From what I understand, 50c coins had the last two digits punched into the die into the 50s--I'm unsure exactly when it...
There are several nice wartime US overdates--the 1942/1-P and 1942/1-D dimes, and the 1943/2-P nickel. I haven't cherrypicked any of those yet. I...
Hahaha...I guess my subjects are my overdate collection. Now, if I only could get them to pay my taxes! ;) What I call "modern" is more like...
And isn't the MS70 designation usually a bit of a stretch? It denotes coin perfection, something which isn't seen very often on a proof, let...
I did not realize Switzerland had produced a modern overdate coin, so a big thanks to a friend for alerting me to this one! :D On this variety, I...
A while ago, I spent a month in Belize (the current name for Br. Honduras). None of the coins or paper money I got were worth keeping. I think...
Separate names with a comma.
