It is the thrill of the hunt. But temper your expectations. Heavymetal is right. Halves have the greatest potential for older silver. You...
Willy - look at it this way. Mastering coin photography is part of the hobby. Admittedly, it might not be as fun as digging through a box of...
Thanks for that @Spark1951 ! I was shooting from the hip and couldn't remember if I had my thoughts correct. I almost didn't hit Post Reply. I...
Z - Sorry...skipped over that last bit. But it could be that the die face coined on an angle. And misaligned. That would explain the tapering...
What's interesting is that this looks to be an early 1972 coin, prior to the master die doubling. No doubling...not even master die doubling.

I found 3 - 1950D nickels, but two were AU/BU so those were liberated from a collection. I finally came across a circulated nickel after a few...
It could be a different clash. Only two listed by Mad Die Clashes and the other is atypical. This one is pretty close though: two clashes and...
I snagged this in my pocket change the other day - [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Probably an earlier strike since my specimen has jail...
And another pocket find - [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Some angled lighting - [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I believe it is TDC-1970D-01 but in an earlier state since I have jail bars to the right of...
I caught this in change and it caught my eye immediately. Copper cents seem to do that. Upon closer inspection it’s a clash with faint jail bars...
Both are my favorites. They are most interesting.
The thing to keep in mind is that in the past, doubling occurred on multiple impressions. Class 9 doubling occurs on a single squeeze because of...
Traveling the world, cash is king. Some countries it’s hard to use credit cards.
Thanks. Proper reverse and no split plating on the 8. Die deterioration occurs as the die ages affecting the outer devices going towards the rim...
Nice clash. You should be able to attribute that provided there’s a listing.
Nice!
