ANACS lists this as a type 1 planchet, for which there is no such thing. Did they mean type 1 blank? If so, why do i think i see a rim on the...
Any denomination. Doing research for a book.
What is somewhat interesting is that it is a zinc cent, but almost no zinc is showing. These almost always have part of the copper plating...
Looks like a die cap because the cupping is so prominent. A total monster. Enjoy! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Since clad is defined as "multiple individual layers of metal bonded together," aren't copper-coated zinc cents technically clad? There are only...
What makes this piece especially fantastic is that hardly any of the devices/designs or lettering are stretched out, distorted, or missing (except...
These are actually tougher to find than you think, even more so in mid-to-high MS grades. Lots of altered ones on eBay and at shows. After...
Am I right in assuming that these are different? It has been difficult to find information specifically addressing my question online. To me...
Not sure if I am splitting hairs, but the photo on the cover is not an error; it's a variety. Just wonndering if anyone read it and if so if it...
In doing some coin research, I am seeing that some definitions tend to overlap, are misused, or are confusing as multiple sources tend to use...
I have read conflicting reports on exactly how the thin copper layer is aplied to the zinc core. A couple sites say they are microplated...
I now have a certified unstruck planchet for a Large Cent, a Half Cent, and as of last night from winning a GC auction, a copper-nickel small...
This is a power/street cover right smack in the middle of the intersection of Lexington & East 50th in Manhattan with a CAC designation. Wonder...
This is one of my more truly bizarre, unique, and head-scratching errors. First, it really is not a "shell," as the micro plating is too thin to...
This coin became rosey pink as a result of being overcooked in the annealing oven. Though many simply become a darker grey, some tend to be copper...
The first was a coin I bid on for a Fred Weinberg auction some weeks ago, but lost. Then I saw it relisted by the buyer for $35 less, so I nabbed...
Picked this up last week. MS63RB by NGC. Nice full date. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Must have the lid as Well. No cracks or holes.
Saw this partial clad layer / lamination. 40% of the layer is gone. I am guessing it was a clam shell that had some help, because there appear to...
This is at LEAST 60% off center, probably more like 65-70%. I certainly hope this was just a clerical error as there is no way it is the...
