I don't know what the red book says but my recollection is that they kept minting them with the 1652 date because King Whassisname cracked down on...
Looks like a cast replica to me as well, especially with that raised lip around the rims. These were not struck in a collar. Check the edge for a...
The problem with concluding anything from the "bulge" is that the image is cropped rather haphazardly around the coin, so as I said earlier I'd...
Can a piece of debris like a wire not overlap both the die and the collar? As far as I know, the collar only "contains" the edge of the coin, not...
That was a different Moffat than the one behind the Moffat & Co coins. I don't know if John Moffat the coin guy and David Moffat the railroad guy...
It was found after going through the pulper at a paper mill. Not sure if the color is off in the pic but needless to say, severe ED. Not what...
Another Andy Griffith episode with a coin was on MeTV the other night, where Buddy Epsen plays a drifter with his own moral code. He borrows a...
Wow, that's kind of sleazy for the end user if you got a light one.
Maybe I should get one. I think I would only have to crack out the Eisenhower bicentennial. I would have trouble getting this one in the hole...
Not real. It doesn't even look like gold. Check images of a real one and compare. I would imagine it was probably bought in a souvenir shop.
I have a bunch of the commemorative coins myself, and there are many more in the bank box. Fun to have but not much collector value. However...
That's the one! My wife only took a pic of the front and it all went back into the safety deposit box where it still remains. We didn't get a...
This is what I was going for with the thread!
My first impression is that it's a struck-through. Perhaps try more images, and stop trying to crop around the coin, just do it on a neutral...
Very old pics but you get the idea. Very likely came from my Civil War ancestor via my grandmother. It was in my childhood album for at least 40...
A human error is still a mint error. Some are just not that special, like grease. What about letting a screw or bits of plastic get into the coin...
You have an interesting way of stating the obvious, let's put it that way.
You can tell that a coin is struck through grease, same as struck through some other object. I don't consider them valuable but others might. It's...
I've seen a lot of posts regarding people collecting the 7070 type set. So I found a list and thought I'd see how many I have despite never trying...
The subject is a struck through grease error, Charley. The TPG can tell and designates them as an error. Or was this also supposed to be 10 words...
Separate names with a comma.
