Looks too consistent to be natural toning to me. But I don't like toning. So I'm probably the wrong one to ask.
Weak strikes don't form the rims like this coin. Struck through grease. The one I have has a crack through the outside of the devices almost all...
It will be interesting to see if these are filled with DDR's as well? LP2 was a big doubled die issue.
The die clash may have happened on more than one die pair. Thus the lack of die cracks on the reverse? [IMG]
Interesting reverse. Notice the MAD on the reverse and the obverse is normal. I wonder if they reversed the position of the adjustable die then?...
I'm guessing: Who does it. Seems like a double standard to me. But a "Newbie" can destroy a coin soaking it in jewelry cleaner. Best to not clean...
Go back to the classic designs not used yet. This is a dime, but I like it better than what is out there now. [IMG]
I had to look that up. Here is an image from one auction. [IMG]

Coppercoins has over 60+ so far for the reverse and three for the OBV of the LP2. All Philly. No Denver's. Must be some fault in Philly's Single...
One Cent! They are a large percentage of them out there. Probably in the 25-50% range. The give away for this is the N on IN E on WE and B on...
Usually a gas bubble is not straight. They are more irregular. [IMG]
It looks like the common master die doubling found on all three mints common for that year....
It's actually a finger and thumb in the same area. http://www.dvnmagazine.com/fycddr012.html Note the overlay image.
I seriously doubt it is the correct weight. Even it this coin seperated, it would be under weight. It can't be struck on one side as nothing would...
The common ones you get from normal uses: [IMG]
Die deteriation faces toward the rims. The direction usually found. The poor man's DD being the classic example that many may recall.
The damage is on the outside of the die (the field) not touching the devices. So it is die damage. Could have been from a harsh cleaning or from a...
He is referring to my current avatar. A 1980 DDO. I'll post an link below as I don't want to get too far off the subject of the thread....
