Well, I wouldn't necessarily classify this anomonly as "die erosion", but it is similar... I suppose. A die doesn't have to have eroded in order...
This is caused by the over-use of dies. During the time of these coins' production, dies were over-used, re-used, and recycled in an effort to...
Definitely not a mint-state example. Looks like an over-dipped AU55, IMO. Like Matt mentioned, if it were in a 65 holder by a reputable TPG like...
Finally got around to setting up my copy light stand equipped w/ Nikon 1 J1! So, here are my test photos... Of a coin that just so happens to be...
Well, unfortunately, your coin was not broadstruck. Slight off centers and misaligned dies are typical of this series.F So, with this said, what...

Check out VAMWorld.com... You may be in for a pleasant surprise. :) Nice coins, by the way! :D -Brian

Almost just looks like a broadstrike. I don't see any doubling of design elements... Do you? -Brian
Find it in another thread? As did I. ;) -Brian
Where's the "Can't Grade" option in the poll? :p -Brian
Well, I suppose grading coins in-hand beats grading from low-quality photos (no offense) any day. :rolleyes: Good job with your grading. I didn't...
What would it take to get something like this?! I imagine price varies with size, detail, labor, framing (unless done by whomever purchases) etc....
1st '09 VDB- VF30/35 (Rim ding @ 2 o' clock on reverse?) 2nd '09 VDB- MS63+/64BN (Scuffs consistent with 63, with the luster of a 64) '65 3cN-...

Jeeeeez loo-eeeez! That's... That's incredible. Cherrypick, or purchase? A friend of mine was able to Cherrypick one of these in VF-Det....
I'm guessing the grade that I believe ANACS has assigned. -Brian
Good question, as that is a huge factor in the coin's grade... -Brian
