Anyway you can get a good clear shot of the entire front/obverse? I'm pretty sure it's not another mint mark, but I'm looking for something else
Looking for a few, nice, uncleaned, undamaged examples.
I think Fred Weinberg said he has never seen nor heard of 90% silver webbing strips for sale, but saw some gold ones inside the West Point Mint...
This is so neat, but I have a couple questions... 1. Why did PCGS not state these are for bronze cents? Someone might think these could be for...
The person who told you that is defective
The rim is not really "missing." Notice the rim appears on the reverse but not on the obverse, which isn't possible to come out of the upset mill...

Error collecting has skyrocketed in recent years. A little bit of research on Heritage Auctions proves this. 20 years ago few errors went for over...
@paddyman98 Is your goal to one day open your own shop? Or maybe to have your own table at shows? Just wondering...
@Nosaj If you want to get a good start on error types, I would look up the following terms: improper annealing (or sintered, copper wash,...
A few times mint employees have purposely made their own errors, and snuck them out of the mint. I have a couple examples of experimental pieces...
I will give you 60 days. Show me where another person is offering one for sale. It really doesn't matter whether or not you think they are rare,...
Some are on eBay. Sometimes banks have them, too.
I got this dime webbing strip from Jon Sullivan who sent me an email because he knows I collect them. And I meant "legimate" in the context that...

Separate names with a comma.
