Alright crack out was a success [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] And here the coin can stand on it's own with ease [ATTACH]
Wow. What the hell. I guess I never realized capped busts could have been double struck. That's the first I have ever seen.
Im in Colorado. What is this philly mint you speak of...:D
It will be a couple of weeks before I send it out. Kinda blew my coin budget with some other purchases lol
Yeah i have all sorts of ways to crack one open. My easiest and cleanest way is with a vice. Apply pressure evenly end to end, side to side,...

Yeah the line through the E in WE is what made me buy this coin. It's really all I could see from the seller pics. And there are examples showing...
@robec I would love to know your opinion.
Kevin Flynn's book is the best but not very specific on the 1910. I think it is the toughest to attribute as it had a mintage of over 4000. There...
