Odd. My original opinion remains unaltered, but perhaps the folks responsible for this counterfeit strike also happened to select an underweight...
I'm surprised it's underweight. Does it show the copper core on the edge?
Second strike delivered by a pair of counterfeit dies of relatively soft consistency. The warped surface (especially evident on the obverse), the...
I'm not sure what's going on with the Canadian coin, but it's not a bleb. The elevations are too smooth and the die doesn't appear particularly worn.
I prefer "bleb", but it's merely a personal preference. There is no referee that determines which term is "official". Since I'm not a...
Ken Potter calls them "patches". They may be caused by de-carborization of the die steel.
It's highly irregular shape makes this more likely to a "bleb", the positive impression of a die erosion pit. These sometimes develop in late die...
A saddle strike IS a double strike, in my book. The strikes are simply delivered in tandem, rather than in successsion. True, there's only a...
I don't think it's a saddle strike as the wrong part of IN GOD WE TRUST is showing. So it would be a conventional triple strike.
Impact damage from another cent.
These appear to be contact marks from the denticles of a second quarter. It's not a minting error.
The absence of weakness on the obverse face eliminates any kind of planchet defect from consideration. The absence of finning of the obverse rim...
Repunched dates and overdates are very common among Colombian 1 centavo coins of the 1960s and early 1970s. In fact it's hard to find a specimen...
Collar clash together with a finned rim.
Non_cents had the right answer. This is a form of die deterioration that the late Eric Von Klinger designated as a "ridge ring". It's common on...
My opinion remains unchanged. You may have spots of variable reflectivity (possibly due to "grease") but this falls far short of any surface film...
I see no evidence of surface film doubling, a surface film afterimage, or surface film transfer in the dime that leads off this thread. This link...
Superficial cracking with subsurface deformation is fairly common in dies. That's why you get bi-level die cracks and that's why there's no...
Just a die chip.
No retained cud here. Some intersecting die cracks primarily.
Separate names with a comma.
