Hard to tell for sure sometimes with coins with that much wear but I think it's probably a lamination.
This is only applies to cents minted after '90 or '91. Previous to that, each branch mint hand punched their own dies. There was no reason for...
You should be happy that the older you get, the more likeable you've become.:)
Just an attempt at a little levity because the OP posted the images rotated. Didn't think I'd need a ;).
Nice one Phil.
It came with my 2009ish SX110 Powershot.
My thoughts. 1. I don't think it's 501. It's a very lightly punched RPM ,much further to the East. 2. It is possible for only the mint mark to...
A couple of other points to consider if you're going the camera route is does it come with software that allows you to tether it to your PC. This...

I'll third the plating issue.

You won't need a C clamp. A pair of pliers will do the trick. The clad layer is fairly thin. Report back what the results are.
This is probably your best answer. It may also have been carried as a pocket piece which would account for the wear. Why it was done we can only...
Nice batch of McClellans you have there McBlzr. How about leaving some for the rest of us?:)
If all you care about is price it probably wouldn't be too difficult. The million dollar idea for me would one that eliminates so-so coins and...
Classic lamination, no doubt about it. There's also another small one at 3:00 on the obverse near and on the rim.
My opinion is that it was done with homemade cent dies. There's the damage on the rims and too much of the dime design remains. There are lots of...
