Yeah, I can see JFK, but I think it looks more like the old image on Cracker Jacks boxes. The one on the left may be his dog. Pareidolia is...
I would put them in better display. Yes, the original would have been nice, but already the original is damaged, and the original is allowing the...
Perhaps the best explanation then is "drunk puncher punching."
You may well be right. It's much more than just that letter that is doubled, however. Much of the word "LEWISTON' below the date shows at least...
I don't know much about this one except what is written on it, and that it is one of the few doubled dies I own (at least, I think it is). One...

Is the pun intentional?
From your statements, I'm guessing it got a details, cleaned, grade, which would obviously be wrong. Personally, I would have no experience or...
Also no expert here, but the 1982 looks to me like just trashy zinc. As Randy said, that was the first year of the zinc cents, and they really...
A modern quarter is 24.3 mm diameter. A draped or capped bust cent is about 29mm. A British half penny from 1806-1831 is about 28mm, from 1831...
