No, actually I thought the motto looked doubled and then when I seen the markers I thought I was on to something. Then, it looked like the motto...
Cool pics! What happened to the date on the last one?
Thanks. Thought it was kind of strange and hadn't run into this one yet.
Oops. My bad. I knew it wasn't the desirable form of doubling, just didn't diagnose it correctly. As I said, I'm still learning, too. And...
Is this a strike through?
Thanks for the response. Can you tell me how all the markers are there? Would they use a master die with cracks in it to make working dies?...

Nothing special, but I like it. Just thought I'd share my most recent addition. Didn't notice the die crack before I bought it. Is that good or...
Thanks for the input as always. I would have never guessed 20%! I appreciate the 1% response, sounds good. No wonder it takes a lifetime to...
I didn't really see where this question was answered as far as what to use to safely hold the coin.
Just to clarify, is acetone safe for all metals? Gold, silver, copper, zinc, brass, nickel, etc, etc? Is there any coins that SHOULD NOT be...
What a great thread. I have been pondering many of these questions myself. I think I will try to experiment with a bunch of ragged road kill...
