My previous comment was made before I saw #19
These are great photos and I appreciate seeing that attention was paid to angles and lighting. I'm not in the grading but do like seeing fine...
You need a well lite specimen to dare to set a grade.
The intense lighting of the right side of the letters and deep shadow on the left distort the images.
These doublings look more like obesity.
They look like illusory doubling from the way the light illuminated them.
There's too much damage to blame it on a lamination error. It shows no evidence of tears in the metal. There are clear images on the face...
I'll have to retract my message. I was only thinking of money to make a dryer or washer work. The thorough cleaning a coin gets when it fails...
When and where were there any dryers that took coins as small as one cent (or even pennies)?
Fits the AG-3 of the big red book perfectly. Still valuable.
How do I open a new thread? It should fit well with error coins and deals with a photography moderation.
It would be nice to see more of the coin.
They can't be fingerprints. The lines are all parallel and spaced uniformly.
This Liberty looks like she disapproves whatever she sees. Maybe she is right.
What happened to the 8? On the Obv, the fasces are very weak. I would not put it in any AU grade.
Just fort the record Smokin Joe, you used a micro caliper. Fine for this use, but a micrometer would be more precise.
That line going past the 8 seems to go almost all the way from rim to rim making it a retained die break.
I see nothing wrong with this coin. On the other hand I hardly see anything.
And physics draws a distinction between weight and mass.
And now we can confuse everything by doing the weighing in a vacuum.
Separate names with a comma.
