Yes, will post as it returns [if ever!].
Oh, penny I meant to say.
I also have a PROOF 1970 double reverse out for grading at PCGS. These came from “good” sources
No line that I can see in hand. Here are some more photos: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The edges are quite sharp and almost as a proof.
Those marked areas looked photoshopped as opposed to cleaned IMO - that is the "averaging" or smoothing which occurs. IMO it is cleaned however...
Can't locate any edge pictures....Will keep looking. It is NGC certified however. GTG?
Yes, good example of such. This one in the OP might or might not be a different animal....Look at the edges of it - almost proof in some areas.
Here is a coin for you, maybe a trick or Magician's coin? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Maybe not entirely fair as the male lion is called in for the big jobs and will finish off - or more correctly start AND finish off even...
No, the source was Louis Hudson's widow and are from the US Mint originally. I wonder if they are even legal? LOL. She had many, many for sale...
I really like this design but hope they can change it just a bit after 26 years...
Nobody seems to know, but I imagine "restruck" in private hands. One of the dies had some of what looked to be a gold wash or residue in the...
Yes, I wonder if these were the dies used to strike the "OMS" 1982 gold Piefort coins and "trial" obverse and reverses?
Hmmm, I think I remember Nigeria or West Africa as you say perhaps shilling with "TRIAL" on the coins as well...
Yes indeed. I have one each of the 1964 through 1967 pennies in copper nickel and a florin struck on I think on a Hong Kong minor.
Mine graded MS67 at NGC, and frankly a fair grade - if that matters. I really wish I had gotten the dated 1952 half crown penny with design as Rob's!
Wow, that looks to be mainly iron as well and would imagine with marked magnetic attraction. I wonder if it is the same alloy? I really thought...
Coin looks copper nickel, I did not weigh it, but it is magnetic. I am not that familiar with iron or steel coins but I still question it. It is...
For interest of readers. Some 3-4 years ago or so I bought this coin at an UK auction, and did not record the provenance and did not record the...
Ah, they are not the be-all and end-all despite what people think. If you like your coins, carry on. Both have reamed me many times....
