My concerns were doubling or clashing information. Below the 7 of the date is a triangular bit of metal which could be a die chip or doubled...
Yes, this is the post I read last week. Thank you for your reply. I merely applied the info to my coin and, in doing so, was confident of it’s...
I saw and was educated by @Jack D. Young and his recent shilling counterfeit post (Aug. 23, 2021), recent in that it was added to in the past...
@DoubleDiamond … @ZoidMeister was being serious. This damage appears to be repeated PMD as intimated by @Mountain Man …there could be any...
Until a clean close-up is provided I remain skeptical…members, including myself, have been requesting one for 2 days now.
Dennis, I did that already and the result is a soft-focus showing the right side with some marks and the left side with none. This is why you...
I don’t see any wear on the hair, cap or cotton bolls…no flattening on the lettering, numerals or stars…lots of bag marks on the fields and...

@51Caveman …the date is incused. This is why the rolling machine damage you see across all four numerals is not affected by the scrape, they are...
No… what you are seeing is die deterioration and minor strike doubling on the east side of that MM. The line under the MM appears to be a...
I agree with bag marks and die chips. Then do a comparison with other ‘22 Philly’s on the die structure. What @Mountain Man is saying is crop...

@merry christine ellis …you will get what to look for if you just go to Wexler and read everything on his website. You have been provided with...
@Chip Kirkpatrick …I agree with @Matthew Kruse to a point. IMO…I would save all silver coins that grade better than F12. The exceptions would...

Looks like you got outstanding results! How much vinegar, how much foil and how much baking soda? I have a 1968 Mexico Olympics 25 peso I would...
