The OP's coin matches the Ryder 1-D die marriage, a pretty common variety. So, it's most likely genuine. But it is a damaged coin and is not...
66-RB is my grade but I confess to being a bit conservative. With modern grading, I can see it as a 66RB with CAC or as a 67 RB with no bean....
Welcome to the wonderful world of coin collecting. The Winged Liberty (popularly known as the Mercury Dime, despite the fact that the god...
I am assuming that the second quote is a response to the first so I am replying in that vein. There has never to my knowledge been anything to...
Both Red Book's and Greysheet's only listing for the 1853-D and 1854-D is called "Large D". Why do they do that if there is only one size of D?...
Not only are there lots of them, but there are a few real stoppers and some semi-stoppers, particularly in high AU and MS grades. That's exactly...
Well, there are coins with details I wouldn't touch with a 50 foot pole. And then, there are coins with details that I would definitely consider....

I've never heard of such a thing under normal circumstances but then the world is a large place. When my mother died in April, 2020, my brother...
I am finishing up my IHC collection and most of my coins are in the MS grades, a few maybe AU-58 but nice ones. The only gaps are 1870 Shallow N,...
I closely compared the OP coin to 1833, JR-6 and found definitive points of dissimilarity. But, the OP coin does bear a very strong resemblance...
By my reference works, this is not an 1822 dime. Great pickup there, @BryceS . Obverse: Date position and size is wrong. 1822, the right...
So, the images are negatives of actual photo of the dies? In other words, a photo was taken of the die and then the image was mirrored via...
Too funny and disturbingly like me!
Sorry I don't have the information particularly concerning business strikes. I know it is relatively common for the 1941 proofs. I saw one in a...
I agree with @johnmilton that this is likely the B-14 die marriage. Also known as the BB-167 and H-14. The reverse is shared with B-21 and while...
