Have a great time, Ed!! Can't wait to see your finds!! Good luck!!
Me too, Willy. That’s the one that got away. I’m still shaking my head. A truly lovely coin!

I agree with Ed. I think you’ll find that in the 80s that this condition was quite prevalent. If you CRH a bit, you will find this to be true....
Here’s another setup. Note that the chartreuse background is a poor choice. It reflects the light. The blue background was a better choice....
Have a look at this setup. A simple home solution that may work for you. A flat background along with lifting the specimen off the surface will...
PS - nice photos.
What we are see is movement. Not doubling. If we trace the periphery of a device the device is uniform. The ‘splits’ you see in the uniform...
I agree, the photos are a little out of focus. The importance of proper background is illustrated here. The wood grain is in focus but the coin...
Pictures are a little blurry but it look like a doubled die.
;) That’s where I’m at. Just not enough juice in the squeeze. I think it more likely that they might grade lower than I expected; the universe...
These are finds from @Pickin and Grinin - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pocket-change.412130/ Now that’s a good week’s worth of findings! I...
To that point, I bought a few 1970S small dates and went about investigating grade by looking up specimens at the TPGs and Heritage. I was...
Interesting. I’ve seen this condition fairly often during CRH events. Never gave it much thought as a result.
I remember looking up information on a Canadian dime I got in change. The surface was mirror-like and I wondered if I snagged an impaired proof....
A very small premium at best. As Ed notes, quite common and not restricted to any date/mm.
It’s technically considered an error coin although I attribute these effects to common die wear. As a die ages it’s going to show its condition....
It is a nice specimen. It has eye appeal especially for a circulation find. No real premium but collect what suits you. Especially at a cent…...
I believe it's Proof Like.
