It won't blow my theory as to the fact that it is damage of some sort and most likely rot under the plating. As for not being right, not sitting...
Prior to 1990, mint marks were added to individual dies by hand. For 1990 and later coins, in order to make the mint mark more consistent, the D...
Take a picture of the edge of the coin and please post it. Also, if there is reeding visible on 80% of it then it is not a broadstruck coin....
Edge,,,not rim....is the edge reeded?
The surface of the coin indicates that it could very well be a counterfeit. In that case whatever that is really doesn't matter much. The...
I could have chosen a different dateand mint mark combination. 1994 D had nothing particular to do with it. The coin you posted is that one with...
Several possibilities. 1) Machine doubling 2) Die deterioration doubling 3) At that point in time, it could have been a worn hub used to make...
There is no doubt that it is damage caused by a coin counting and rolling machine. The end coin in a roll often gets this type of damage...
They are called die gouges caused by a finger feeder. Or sometimes noted as finger feeder damage of a die.
What you've described is very typical die deterioration doubling and has no value. It is seen very often on nickels and copper-nickel clad...
It is a matter of logic. It has to be something added to the surface as a clear portion of the last digit and the D mint mark is visible. Next,...
I just saw the coin on another forum. Somebody loaded it up with solder, or they put some "liquid steel" on it and let it dry. It is some...
Time's up.....just kidding:-)
Bingo! It's like a ripple. Bill
I'm not saying that at all. There are many types of Mint errors such as incomplete planchet errors, off-center strikes, wrong planchet errors and...
I also don't think that the coin was a metal detector find. The picture needs to be bigger so we can see what the deal is with the "blank" side...
Forget about the holder, let's see the edge of the coin:-) Thanks, Bill
Hi and Welcome, The picture is too small to identify what happened to this coin. Thanks, Bill
There is more to it than a simple die clash. It might be a counter clash, or it may be a flip over double strike. Those possibilities are...
This coin shows plate shift doubling on the date as well as plate split doubling on the mint mark. Keep in mind that both are clunkers:-) [IMG]
