Hmm, I'll try to play the guessing game. You think there's a variety/error in the F? Looks like a hit moved the metal to me. [ATTACH]
Part of me feels bad, because once you see it, you can't unsee it. At least you know it's not PMD. In hand it's probably hardly visible. Proof...
Just got this in an email from NGC. https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/13116/ MS67... seems kinda weird to give it a Sheldon grade. What are you...
Nice example. I've wondered why Barber decided to re-engrave the reverse for 1900. One of my notions is that he got sick of seeing that gouge in...
Closeups of a computer screen make me dizzy.
Interesting how poorly struck it is. The GC coin is similar. I'm guessing strike pressure is lower for zincolns or something. [ATTACH]
Unless there was a die with a wildly different date position I don't think it's attributable as 1921. All of them on PCGS have the same position...
I'll say MS64. I don't think the scratch is enough to detail it but maybe enough to drop it below gem. Excellent photos!
That cert lookup is the OP's actual coin. So it is the correct orientation.

Well it's certainly not 1943 - the tail of the 3 on those extends as far down as the 9. I'm guessing you were hoping for a 43 bronze. Sorry. 1915...
https://doubleddie.com/58285.html describes how the master hub gets doubled by the reduction lathe. Fascinating. I never knew that Lincoln cents...
I think in the US this kind of "sport" is no longer possible because the dies only fit in one side of the press. Someone correct me if I'm wrong....
Same. I have 5 1900-S dimes, raw and damaged through MS65. Why? Because I discovered a reverse transition variety about 5 years ago. I sort of...
Not correct. I don't really understand what either of you is saying. Most typically the working die is doubled, not the hub. The die is pressed...
It wouldn't bother me at all. If another one came along that I liked and could afford, I'd probably buy it and keep this one too. But that's how I...
My second favorite find, from the same paper mill. [ATTACH]
I wonder whatever happened to these million copper cents. Family finds 1 million copper pennies while cleaning out Los Angeles home...
I have very few "finds" but I guess this is my favorite. Found in the pulper clean-out pit at a recycled newspaper paper mill. [ATTACH]
