Do you see that rough surface in front of his eye/nose area. That's rot under the plating and that is what is effecting the coin around the eye....
Hi, I agree. It's a slug. I have found a dozen or so as I've searched through rolls. Some are reeded and some are not. They are designed to...
It is all machine doubling. Anyone who has argued against it needs to do a little more research. There is no evidence of the coin having been...
It should also be mentioned that probably 50% of all War Nickels were effected by a master die that was doubled and many war nickels have doubling...
Machine doubling. Thanks, Bill
Hi, The problem with this one is there may have been something to it but it was also damaged by a coin counting machine in it's past. Notice the...

Yep, It's machine doubling. Thanks, Bill
It wouldn't be a split planchet based upon the original description. The "blank" side would have a rough surface if the coin were a split...
All post mint damage. It's worth 25 cents.
I am glad that this got worked out:-) Mike does the "Collector's Clearinghouse" column in CW. He is a major authority on error coins. I'll...
To add to what bhp3rd mentioned, The spacing of the AME is different on the Wide AM cents vs. the Close AM cents. On a Wide AM, the bottoms...
Hi, I know it's a CUD:-) It's a nice one. I wanted to point out the weakness that will be on the area of the reverse that corresponds to the...
I like your errors and some are worth being in slabs. The off center one though is about a $5.00 coin. If you paid $20.00 for the coin you are ,...
Welcome! It resembles a partial collar error but a larger picture would be needed to be sure it is not a cent that was damaged in another way....
