$5 combined for all these beauties... A ragged clip, a reverse retained lamination, and a 10c planchet which turned out to be silver. I tried to...
That poster is a "feeder" of lies, so we gave him the "finger."
This Liberty Nickel weighs 4.2 grams. At first, I immediately thought "FAKE!" However, do you notice the severe clashes on the obverse? I don't...
@Insider Would ICG label the two 1960 cents above as "Second Strike from Fake Dies" if I sent them to be slabbed as counterfeits? I have quite...
A few from my collection... Many 1960 examples exist. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The Piacentile/Sheiner Cent[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

so, was that 1999 D cent destroyed?

Being a collector, you can determine what and how you collect. Who cares what others think? Below is a very short set of ragged clip cents from...
That error is genuine, not altered. I do feel the wavy pattern is damage, however. Many legit clips do not have the Blakesley Effect at all.
Fascinating story and a great history lesson in world numismatics.
Even more absurd is the fact that this dime-sized planchet just happened to be struck exactly in the center of a larger die. This whole scenario...
A holey dollar and dump? I dont know what either of those mean.
