Hmm...yeah, also the shape/gap between the denticles are sorta funny.
I'm going to say real clip, because you can see the "Blakesley Effect" on the opposite rim. When a clipped planchet goes through the upsetting...
To my eyes, I see a similar date position as well as details that may confirm the markers for the Snow-2; Snow-3 has a clearly different date...
Hey that's interesting! My collector friends in Aus didn't know about this coin, but now I see it listed in Downies' catalogue for $30 in VF....
Well...if you feel the need to opine at length on the subject, you could start your own thread. You’re sort of barking up the wrong tree on my...
You do realize this is the "Error Forum"? :) Each to his own; I happen to find coins like this fascinating, as they help me understand the...
You're right--the legends have as much spread on the doubling. The doubled nose is great too. I keep looking for that one. :)
Here's a 1956 Y. (Perth) penny I found a while back. At first, I didn't know what to make of the marks at the base of AUSTRALIA (arrows), until I...
Yes--there are a lot of dramatic Class VI doubled dies on Lincoln cents--I just don't own any myself. :)
I'm not sure--it merits a closer look. For doubled dies, I look for some signs of notching in numbers or letters. However, some doubled dies don't...
That's a real nice DDO! :)It must be pretty scarce to evade detection until now. I'll keep my eye out for that one.
Yeah--Peru coins from this era are full of overdates and other varieties. I was not collecting Peru until I found a bunch of these in a dealer's...
Yep--it's at least a confirming marker for the variety. Also, if you look through the Snow guides, you'll find some RPDs with their own #s that...
The coin has some condition issues that might affect its appearance, sometimes metal can look lumpy due to corrosion. In 1909, IHCs began to be...
Well, I certainly defer to expert opinion--expert I am not. :) It was initially struck by seeing little in the way of tool marks and the gradual...
Wow...that's interesting. I'm no expert on errors, but if it's thicker in that area, how can it be PMD? If it were material added later, I see a...
Very interesting how all three are in the same general location.
Here's another overdate from Sweden. On these 1 Ore coins, the date area is very small--just 3mm across! It helps to study these under high...
Thanks for the tip! I don't have any shield nickels, but understand there's a lot of interesting varieties.
No worries--it shows we both know die variety nomenclature :)
