Poor Abe. This man simply cannot catch a break lately. It is just one disaster after another... Anyway, this was once part of a die cap, but the...
Several possibilities as how this may have occurred. I think it's one of those things where if you were not there to physically watch it happen,...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Weighs 2.3 grams. First, the color makes me think it is plated. Also, I believe the copper is showing through in the upper...
A famous Piacentile/Sheiner altered 1964 obverse double struck, and a counterfeit 1939 Henning Nickel. In Both cases, the producers of them spent...
I am working on a book and I created three new terms that I hope will catch on. You can say I coined them myself! 1. "Collectorate" - All of the...
Look at his sideburns and facial area. If it is from multiple off center strikes, why aren't other areas like that and it is just the side of his...
Picked this up today at a local show. It is a beauty! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This dime is obviously not spooned. But what accounts for how thick the edge is here? Is this more than just a misaligned die? I will have to...

He's a beauty. Not on the label is that the reverse side was hit with a blank planchet in the way of the reverse die, making it a uniface reverse...
Notice the reverse of coin #1, and the obverse of coin #2. Observe how the plating did not bond to either in those areas leaving similar...
I finally have a pair of coins that feature a progression of different die stages from the exact same coin die. Below are two 1970-D Jefferson...
Looks too perfect, but yet can't see anything that tells me it was applied after striking. I am 51% leaning genuine. Can't yet take photos of the...
Coin has expanded unevenly, but is not a broadstrike. Pretty sure it was hit with fake dies to resemble a rotated double strike and the doubling...
It took a while, but I finally secured a rackateer nickel with reeding. Generally if they are fully plated they were likely replated in the last...
Do not bid on this Lincoln cent as it is altered. It is actually too perfect, which is what drew my attention for a closer inspection. This coin...
First year of issue. First year "In God We Trust" motto on U.S. coins. Very, very strong "woodie" pattern and look from a poor or "improper"...
