Just got this one for my World Coins in Early America set. [IMG]
I bought some coins recently from Dirk Loebbers in Germany after seeing one I wanted on MA Shops. Shipping didn't take too long. I got one...

The wing detail away from the scarcely struck center of the coin is AU-something, so I put 53, not knowing what the rest of the coin looks like.
The thousands of die marriages with shattered dies would indicate otherwise.
I've tried to break that habit and just use the term "machine doubling" to avoid equating it with a coin that is double struck, which is totally...
It has a polished look to it. APMEX wouldn't let a raw Cincinnati that might grade PL go cheap. I'd return it.
Sadly, I think your first impression was correct.
Along with my gold Jefferson nickel (see other thread), I picked up two other pieces that Ron had made back in the Gallery Mint days. One is one...
My gold nickel showed up today, serial number 4. Looks great! Thankful I was able to buy one. [IMG]

Correct. These are common peripheral die cracks. Not necessarily. Simply having too many cracks is one reason to pull the die. The cracks can...
The David Lawrence books are available on the Newman Numismatic Portal. Granted, it's 30 years old, but it's where I'd start....
Double-check VAM 5. I'm not sure the mint mark position is a match for VAM 11.
The 7s don't match each other on genuine coins. The troughs outlined above are on a real coin -- one wider than the other. The corresponding...
Probably a mustard stain in there, somewhere.
Separate names with a comma.
