Yep, plating bubbles are relatively common on post-1982 cents and rarely command a premium of any sort. Keep up the hunt!
Guess the discovery and labeling it "major" created quite the hubbub. I guess a lot of people reading these threads (both here and at the PCGS...
Can't see a dang thing in those photos...
Look up an authentic piece and compare the details of the design. Also, these are incredibly rare and there are thousands upon thousands of...
It's not a doubled die from what I can see. The one you linked is an obvious doubled ear.
Almost positive it is a fake.
The hub and die will snap into place, causing a little "skip" that results in an extra hubbing, which can be seen as distortion and extra...
Nope, this is the era of single-squeeze hubbings. Your explanation would be correct for coins from the mid 90s and earlier, but not for this one....
Exactly...for instance, if I have a coin with a pop of 2/3, that means that there are 2 total coins stabbed in that grade with 3 noted in higher...
Those just look like scratches to me.
Compared to doubled dies within the past 10 years, this would be considered quite major... Compared to the multiple hubbing era with the 1955 and...
Good analogy. :)
About a year back I missed out on two auctions. Both were by low-feedback sellers, and for some reason these auctions seem to attract less...
Depends on what you would classify as a tripled die coin. For 1955 (and other dates), there are coins that have additional hubbings, such as this...
It is a true doubled die, there is no doubt about that. Whether NGC or PCGS will recognize them as something worth mentioning is another story....
55.
Agreed with larry. This one is mechanical doubling. Notice that the doubling is flat and shelf-like, and if you "remove" the doubled part, the...
A few seconds of google searching uncovered this, and I am sure there are many many more examples......
Maybe so, but it's still different than a "worn die".
Mechanical doubling and a worn die (die deterioration) are caused by 2 different things, so "worn die" does not apply to all. MD relates to the...
Separate names with a comma.
