It looks to me to be a 1961D with a small die break on the 1 of the date. Is that the error you are referring to or is it something else?...
The pics are a little small but I think you have two sm dates and a lg. I don't really see anything unusual, at least I don't think so... I...
I did a search and I don't see a lot of Wavy Steps posted, so I'll post and see what the CT community thinks. I recently found two Wavy Steps...
Welcome to the forum!
(As long as it is raised metal) it likely a die break within a crack and if you play with the lighting you'll see the rest of the crack. No...
Remember: if anyone buys that SBA on eBay, it is half the buyer's fault for not knowing what they are doing.
You're probably right about the DDD. Their other coins vary. The errors look correct but the other doubled dies, do not. The fact that the...
Just try and go through as much as you can, put the question coins to the side and wait. As you progress you will likely find other examples of...
The picture is too small to tell anything. I do know that the dies used for '43 cents took a lot of abuse striking steel planchets and broke down...
Those pictures are horrid; the coin needed to be taken out of the flip for photographing! I cannot tell what is what. I don't have any references...
You have the coin, and you're probably right about there being clash marks at that spot, but beyond that, like determining what part of the...
If the areas you're pointing to are thin, and is mostly differentiated by a change in surface contrast, I would agree and suggest mild machine...
I cannot tell from the photo provided. Maybe if there were arrows pointing to the area in question? It sorts of looks like the lighter area above...
Yes, the reverse does appear to be part of a second strike or a seriously MAD or off-center clash... I have no idea...
Being that there was definitely a clash, which resulted in the bay mark below the ear, it is easy to assume that any extra marks near the beard...
I don't think it is a dropped letter, not with that ring. A dropped letter is when hardened gook falls out of a filled part of the die and gets in...
If the letters on the head are incuse, I would guess it had another coin pressed (or pounded) into it. It looks like the round part is the rim...
If you look at my post today on plating split doubling (http://www.cointalk.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=699723), you'll see machine doubling on...
Thanks! I use a binocular scope with a digital camera to take most of my coin photographs.
I believe that John Wexler initially thought the '83P LCCLO-001 was a product of two obverse dies having a MAD clash - and that could only happen...
