I usually associate counting machine marks with circular patterns, but your theory does make sense. Insider edited the post here and basically...
Then this is exactly the sort of thread you should pay attention to and learn, instead of derailing it with silly jokes. We have a General...
I was trying to match contact marks between the two pics to see if they were actually the same coin or if one might... have been minted in a...
He's trying to post a useful, informative thread with a serious question intended to educate. He got a bunch of goof posts with no useful...
He said in the OP that it's a Morgan. If it were a gold coin, my answer would be quite different for one of them (the marks in the green circle...
Insider, I know you like colors so I circled what I see: Red: deep marks in random patterns, most likely contact marks (bag marks, etc - normal...
If anyone knows the answer, @Conder101 does.
The splotchy, streaky, brown and beige toning like this is not usually considered a positive. This would fall under PCGS's description of...
Got the grade right. Well, I guess they did designate FB back then. But they didn't do a good job of it - those pictures do not show FB.
I think if you had posted decent pictures of the coin, my guess would have been very different. I can't think of a reason why the cameo looks so...

Can you show us a decent pic where the RPD is evident? Because I can't see anything with the tiny pics posted here.
While those are "different" pictures... they aren't "better" pictures.
Wow. To be fair, every coin I've ever seen from that seller is listed for about twice what I think it should be. At auction, this coin would...
Not entirely sure why he decided to use the Witch motif here.... Is he trying to say coin collectors are witches and wizards? If so, I'm...
The obverse seems to have a similar look to one of my dimes (which is, as you should suspect, a Prooflike coin): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I think those pictures are terrible and that if we had better pictures, many more people would like the coin. Interpreting the pics, I imagine...
I agree - the obverse cameo is among the best I've seen (at least, it appears that way in these pictures).
I'm personally not a huge fan of the color, and the luster looks muted (maybe because of the toning.) Based on the marks I see, and because the...
Take a close look at the obverse right side fields. See all those little marks? You won't find those on a 66, and probably not on a 65. Grading...
Separate names with a comma.
