This would most likely fall under the "strike doubling" category. I see shelf-like doubling, a dead giveaway that the die shook/shifted during the...
Hey Lehigh, Just a quick question, if you don't mind - What is the 'T' designation on NGC slabs? I assume it stands for "toned", but my...
Looks like a strong start to your set! Congrats on the purchase, and good to hear you're diving into the world of Bust Halves (my...
I noticed that as well. The abrasion is deep, but, because it is not in a major focal point on the coin (being very near to the rim at 6 o'...
Just grabbed this one for a decent price. Attractive light-brown, round-rim, evenly-worn surfaces - Exactly what I'm looking for! I suppose you...
Hahaha, funny stuff, man, funny stuff. ;) Alright... Going to hit the sack (in an appropriate way - don't get the wrong idea). ;) Goodnight!
Unfortunately, my laptop isn't loading photos on any websites right now (including Facebook, so my nightly-ritual of stalking "hawt chix" has been...
IDK why the format screwed up on the last post.................. F*ck technology!
Thanks, man... And, no, unfortunately not. My pockets aren't THAT deep (If you couldn't tell, it's an 1815/2).It's a PCGS plate photo of an AU58...
What is the indentation at 2 o' clock (refering to first photo)? Try setting the "blank" (which I'll call it, for now) atop a circulating coin...
Sorry to say, your coin isn't an error - it's been damaged, most likely with the use of chemicals to eroded the clad layer, exposing the copper,...
Certainly isn't a lamination error - It's something much better! IMHO, it's missing its obverse clad layer. It's circulated a bit, but it's still...
Your eyes are playin' tricks on you, buddy... ;) I see nothing out of the ordinary here. -Brian
Well, I suppose even a broken clock is right twice a day. ;) No offense, Rascal... Although your persistence is often confused with...
The coin being rotated inside its slab won't devalue it in anyway - it's still the same coin, with the same assigned grade. Sure it may be kind of...
Wow... That's actually a pretty good idea. :thumb: -Brian
Mintmarks within a series of coinage will vary from date to date, and, more typically, from die to die. Sometimes they are intentionally altered...
Honestly, I can't see a gosh-darn thing with the single photo you've provided. Chances are good that it is nothing more than strike doubling,...
My grades mentioned are the grades I believe PCGS assigned them when re-submitted. -Brian
1st) 64 (although, a weak strike may have held it back to MS63) 2nd) 63 3rd) 64 (+?) 4th) 64 5th) 63 Give us a hint - Are there...
