…it could be a later die stage of an already assigned variety. There’s a ton of these minor doubling types for Minnesota. What’s the variety...
Doesn’t look like a proof, but it is very reflective… …so it might deserve PL= Proof-Like…imo…Spark
NO. There are 3 large contact gouges across the steps. NOT FULL STEPS.
Well, the OP hasn’t divulged the date of this roll of 50, but if they all have this same deterioration there’s no way any of them will grade high,...
Yes, it all appears to be die deterioration. A lot of collectors prefer to use the term “worn die”, but they essentially mean the same thing, and...

Pam, The “something else” would include the fact that all the coins in this post are less than mint state, they had a mint run of billions over 2...
Danny, …you would just be wasting time and money. There is only circulation wear and corrosion on this coin and it is only worth face value....
Yes, you are seeing double…but not hub doubling. Your scope is showing reflection off the tip of the 6 making it seem like it is split or forked....
Excellent find!…imo…Spark
…the coins need separation to avoid contact with obverse and reverse. Plastic tubes promote stacking and risk damage. Even if they are common...
