Can you post pictures of the reverses? That should help me rule out something...
Looks like some rim crumbling and a little cud--interesting shape, could be a die blunder of some kind. I'm not sure I see a RPD at least at that...
Hey thanks for the thought--I'm glad you got it! :D
I see the diagonal of the "S" as well. Of course, I'm very inexperienced with mm varieties--I mostly know about IHCs. :)
Here are two different shots of the mm, enlarged 200%. I toned down the color; it's easy to see details that way. No sharpening done; it would...
There's definitely something going on with that mm...wish I knew more about them. Hope it's a new variety--good luck! :)
Agreed--put between two objects and pressure applied, ie 'vice job'. That distortion couldn't happen in a coining press.
I 'watched' that one--but declined to bid due to the heavy corrosion. VF details, not a major MPD, but still interesting. The condition is an...
It looks real to me--and well-preserved, and for a few bucks I'd say you got a nice deal! :D You should post your coin to the ancients forum to...
In Snow's IHC variety book, he says "A highly sought after variety with a premium between 3X and 5X". If a normal VF30 fetches $15, I would say a...
That's what I'm saying--it's clearly transferred by the die onto the coin.
A coin struck through grease/dirt would also leave an impression, rather than a raised design detail.
That's a beautiful coin--the OPs certainly looks based on that die pair, but don't the details look a bit mushy for such a grade? --just...
I see 3 DDRs listed for 1907, but they show up in the wreath. What I think I'm seeing on your coin is some die crumbling/wear.
Thanks! This is the third IHC variety I've gotten from this seller--you have the 1889 MPD/RPD now. Maybe they unknowingly absorbed a variety...
Hmmm... there's something very "modern" looking about the surfaces, like a recent copy--just my unqualified opinion.
Yep--that's a nice variety! The date punch was broken when it impressed this die. In subsequent dies, the broken 2 has been fixed by engraving the...
Yeah...and look at the size of that thing!
Woah. :wideyed: I hope the bank accepts returns--and you don't have to Coinstar all those...
Really interesting--it's what you would expect to see in a DDR of that area. Just out of curiosity...what is the mintmark?
