Thanks, I posted a response there as well. Bill
Hi, I don't want to sound cruel or burst any bubbles but it is nothing of value. This is a very damaged insert from something known as a...
It does not appear to be a genuine coin struck on an incomplete planchet. In fact, it is impossible as the rim opposite the supposed "clip"...
There is corrosion under the plating on this coin so it is also possible that the "cracks" are caused by the underlying rot separating the copper...

I have no doubt that it is a D. Thanks, Bill
If you see the plating exposed, it is likely a clunker. An RPM will have a specific look to it and will appear as two raised mint marks in very...
Hi, Even the act of drying a coin with a paper towel can leave marks on the coin. Most collectors like coins to be in the condition that they...
Many years ago, I sold a few of these to a Lincoln cent specialist. I kept an unusual pair for myself. One coin has the pre-cud die break on...
I am going to add the realistic touch, as I often do. There is no way to find what was on that list in only $300.00 worth of cents searched. I...
