Here's why they are thick. It's a combination of die wear (as noted by some) with the late remnants of the die being polished to remove clash...
All the doubling on this coin is due to die deterioration. That's the "fancy shmancy" term for having been struck by a worn die. You'll see...
OK, Here's the deal. This is indeed a coin that was the result of Master Die Doubling. In fact many Ikes are doubled dies but they are not at...
A weird optical illusion that sometimes occurs is that details that are really raised look incuse in an image. The opposite is also true, incuse...
Hi Rick, What he has is relatively strong details on the coin that was caused by relatively strong details being engraved into the die somehow....
I can't say yet just what this is but it is not Post Mint damage. What is tough is getting an image of an uncirculated coin that can be easily...
It's called die deterioration doubling. That's the fancy terminology used to describe a coin that was struck by a worn die. It's pretty common...
What does the edge look like. Can you see distinct separations of color or perhaps some copper color. I'm trying to figure out if the coin was...

Probably dated in the mid 1980s. (Could be 1983 to 85 D) The coin looks like it was used in casino slots back in the days when the halves were...
There are two streaks of a darker color that are inconsistent in their appearance. The rest of the coin is too consistent in appearance and the...
Yes
Hi, I have a few of those around here someplace. It is a Post Mint creation so it is not an error. I've seen this work so I know that the story...
By the time you sold it on the bay, you would probably lose money. The fact that it is circulated and has that clump o' stuff on the obverse...
I would love to see a properly lighted and totally clear image of this coin:-) The color of this coin also has me interested but I have seen...
OK, let's put everything in context. We'll start with ...this coin is neither a doubled die on the obverse or the reverse. The thinning of the...
It could also be silver plated outside of the Mint. Millions of plated coins have been sold on shopping channels over the years. They are, of...
I still think that it is a legit clip. Circulated, as it is, around $5.00
That's about right. The coin is not Uncirculated. It has been buffed up. You can tell that by the rounded look of the lettering. So...
Conder:-) I'm glad that you said that ;)
