I think that part of Lincoln's head is missing! Is that just PMD or lamination? EDIT: I think that's just the hazy thing on the coin causing it...
The area in question extends further to the left above O in GOD, and skips a bit all the way to the last T in TRUST. Here are more pics:...
Here's a 1963 P penny. It does not appear to be due to rim damage at all. It's above the surface, and I can't find what this is. It looks like a...
For the second one, would there still be value > 1 cent since one letter is almost completely missing (read: half value of no FG)? Or is it all or...
Yeah that makes sense about it being an MD if there is doubling in the date and mint mark. I understand the die making process at the basic...
Here are three coins with what may be FG errors on the artist's initials. Some of them I can barely make out and I know in some years there are...
Just to change things up a bit... I found this coin trick on the Tube you can do on "regular" coins... more like coin physics. Some of you already...
I don't think eBay bucks certificates are transferable but you can use however many you want in a transaction (there's a check box next to each...
Here are five pennies, all in the 70's that I suspect may be D/D's. I find many of the 70's pennies to have mint marks that are very blobby and...
Someone should hold a contest to guess which coins and how many of each are inside! They're opening it on January 6... I count over a dozen coins...
I should have mentioned it's variable magnification from I think 1x-300x. I'm in the process of learning to grade thoroughly but it's definitely...
Sweet!
Is this a lamination error or a PMD on a 1964 D cent? If it was just the gouges on the left I wouldn't have thought much of it, but the crack...
Do you have a routine when checking coins? When I was just starting out, I was only looking for silver (check rims and dark patina), S mint marks,...
I just purchased one of those endoscopic microscopes, so I'll see how that works whenever it gets here. I may end up getting a better camera, so...
Probably pointless, but this is the best I can do with my current setup. I can also see two S's on the left (not just one on the outside), one...
I just found my macro mode and it doesn't really do much. It all looks the same. I even tried zooming in with manual focus through the 30x loupe...
I don't think it's a counterfeit anymore. I should have mentioned that I'm wondering if it's a rotated error coin if Victoria crowns were not...
Does anyone know if the reverse of this coin, when flipped vertically, should be upside down? In other words, the exact opposite (180 degree...
It looks like they did keep the same grade! [IMG] http://coins.ha.com/itm/1922-1-high-relief-matte-pr61-ngc/a/1216-4211.s From what I've seen,...
