I don't think from the appearance of the date that it was a double strike. It just looks to me like they did some work on the obverse die. I'll...
Very nice. IMO it's an AU-58. There appears to be a touch of wear on some of the leaves on the reverse.
My "repunched or recut" statement was in reference to the dies used to strike coins. It was wartime and steel was important to the production of...
First Assumption: South African coins struck during WWII were struck in in the UK. Second Assumption: Royal Mint practices during WWII were a bit...
Which TPG(s) did the grading? Send it to NNC and you probably can get a -68 or -69.
Here's a caution. If it feels greasy, don't touch it anymore. Could be coated with mercury and THAT'S toxic.

IMO Coin World has minimal value to the average collector. And I'm a subscriber. There is very little for the beginning collector and not much...

Correct on RPD. NE means Northeast which describes the location of the original punch with respect to the repunch (up and right).
If I recall correctly my coin is 2/0 for PCGS certification. I don't know about NGC.
I'll stick with silver Roosevelt Dimes. They are not "poised to surge in value" but IMO if there is a significant design change announced there...
There is a shop in Rockville, MD, that did both stamps and coins, but the stamp part has been eliminated. Then there is a shop in Bethesda, MD,...
In general I don't care for error coins. The ones I've had in the past have all been sold off. But this one is different; it adds to my Indian...
IMO from those images, it's RB.
If we can get this one solved then I can do the same for the two 1945 South Africa 3 pence coins. The recut(?) on the "5" isn't as obvious BUT the...
I don't know British coining practices. And this was during WWII. This is a 1943 South Africa 3 pence coin which had something done to the date,...
Separate names with a comma.
