Rascal, if you're willing to fork over $5 per coin (my standard examination fee), I'd be glad to examine any of your so-called errors. But I'm...
The grading services no longer use the terms "copper wash" or "sintered plating". They now use the term "improperly annealed planchet". According...
Sintered planchets are a myth. Both "copper wash" and "sintered plating" have been debunked as a source of surface copper. Here I think the...
Rascal does have a genuine die clash. The reason the bays of the Memorial cross Lincoln's head is because the relief is so very low. I've seen...
I've already expressed my opinion, which is in line with everyone else's (except the OP).
The elevation on the bison appears to be a die dent, not a die gouge. Small difference, I know.
It's not a double denomination error. It's a flipover, in-collar double strike. Nice find.
It sounds like the coin has a double layer of plating. First nickel (which is magnetic) and then a gold-colored layer. I assume that the...

It's certainly looking promising. If those extra design elements are incuse (as they appear to be) then we're probably looking at a strike...
It's a generic capped die strike. In other words, it was struck through a late-stage die cap. The greyish area looks to be a stain.
The unnaturally bright, uniform shine of the coin gives it away.
The damage here is obvious. My conclusion stands. I will no longer respond to your posts, Rascal. They are devoid of insight and purely...
The coin shows nice clash marks. Unfortunately, the obverse is suffering from severe post-strike damage. The puffy letters, heavily scratched...
This is definitely post-strike damage, specifically impact damage. The coin was also re-plated before or after the damage was inflicted.
I very much enjoyed seeing these errors. Keep 'em coming.
I'm on the fence on this one. It could be a very unusual struck-through error. However, if the design is warped (rather than simply obscured)...
I have no idea who you're talking about or how my observations relate to anything this "Jamez" has said.
I haven't found any sandwich job in a PCGS slab, but I have found other fakes, including a resized nickel slabbed as a wrong planchet error and a...
