The 1900 looks no better than AU53, imo, slight wear, may have been cleaned too, reverse wear keeps overall grade down. That 1909 is showing much...
Definitely a parking lot scraper...Spark
Agree to worn. Appears to be weak strike too...weak detail at left wing above DO/DOLLAR and the tail feather detail left and right of the...
pics are out of focus...can't help you...Spark
Truth be told, I have a similar problem. I've currently got a collection that comprises early finds of all denominations U.S., foreign and...
A very nice coin...looks like one that could have been liberated from a Mint Set...Spark
Worth keeping as an example of die deterioration, to show others. I found a dime this past year that had way late stage deterioration, in fact,...
A compound microscope is a great tool for coins, just hard to get good pics without a built- in camera. I can see the effort you made and you got...

You might find some ddr in the rolls, philly cents, at least 3 different reverse doubling of the hands/fingers of the "Early Childhood" cent,...
Value is relative. For many, anything valued over face value qualifies as "valuable". This is a way too common die flaw sensationalized by Noob...
So at 11:11am on Nov. 11 you are standing in the Mojave Desert outside Barstow, CA, when a Western Union motorcycle delivery man hands you a...
Answering your poll...it is doubling, just not the valuable kind. MD is the concensus, at first I thought DDD, until I saw the mint mark...Spark
For this coin...what lamination value would it have if not negated by the huge gouge in the head? $1.00 insread of .03? My view is that the gouge...
