On the coin I just commented on above, I am floored at its eye appeal as you noted. WOW. :cyclops:How is it that one guy gets all these...
On that 2nd 1940, it could be a FS IF there is a step hidden in the black at the very bottom. But the bridge kills the lower visible steps. It is...
Wow, how is it that one guy gets all these gems?? Did you search alot, check out numerous shows, or inherit?? My guess is that you held each in...
These are nice, mucho better!!
Here is the best image I found showing the steps on the south/west side of the building, which is the side shown on the nickel. Note the number of...
I'm with Chris, EF-45 (after seeing BOTH sides), nice coin!!
Agreed it is strike doubling, in this case it affected the deepest part of the die, which in this case was the deeply punched mintmark - per Fivaz...

Ah ha, according to D. W. Lange (The Complete Guide to Lincoln Cents) the hand punching of mm's ended in 1989 for the cent, with the other...
Excuse my ignorance, I am at a loss here. I always thought that hand punched mint marks ended circa 1987/88. At least for the US cents. Were...
In the chart I began with, on the left side diagram, the green, I illustrate the upper step as the stylobate. In most constructions it is not...
In my eyes, it is not quite 5 full steps. When you count the columns from left to right (total of 4), stepaholics will see 4 quadrants, one...
Just got the Lady's last year. Lots of color but the detail is almost MS!! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
While roaming around EBAY, I could not help but notice the abuse of the claims for 5 and or 6 step nickels. Often ads touted "Full Steps" or "FS6"...
A fellow sold me 4 pesos recently for under $3.00. One of them was this 1976 doubled die (almost certain it is a doubled die, instead of a double...
