There is no contradiction if you read. It says "USUALLY in the direction towards the rim of the coin. Also, a point to be made is that die...
It's not the one on Chuck's site. If and only if the images are accurate (I only say that because the camera can unintentionally cause minor...
It depends upon the degree to which the planchet is effected as well as if the date does or does not show. Some incomplete planchets show more...
Hi, The Bashlow copies were made in 1961 and they have the cracked die details on the reverse. The monkey wrench in the gears though is that...
It looks legit to me. Look at the weakness of the lettering toward the lower portions of WE TR. That's pretty characteristic of the way the...

An early image that I set up many years ago. This is three 1997 Doubled Ear cents. You can see what the doubling looks like to the lower left of...
