A couple more overdates, with wider date spreads than US coins--but still overdates: Peru 1/2 Dinero 1900/1890: [IMG] Belgium 2c 1919/1914:...
Well, my coin is actually the same thing as your examples. The die was originally made/dated 1861, and they re-used it in 1871 by correcting the...
I'm unsure what you meant by this--so I'll clarify here on the accepted terminology for an overdate: an overdate is struck by a die that was...
What is the year of your coin--I'm assuming a Lincoln cent--that would help us out a lot. :)
Some countries dated their working dies much longer than the United States, which stopped around 1908, adding the whole date to the hub. Here's a...
Ah...I see what you're getting at. Yeah, I suppose they have to grind down the "19" as well to keep it looking tidy--it does look lower relief...
Having visited the Kongsberg mint museum, I noticed that hubs from this time only have the "19"; the last two digits are added to individual dies....
Some overdates don't really look like a digit underneath as much as a general shape. Often when the old digit is polished away, an irregular...
There are a lot of repunched dates on Norway coins from this time. Many are subtle, but some are dramatic like this one from 1938. :) The...
I clicked the pics, studied them as best as I could, and did not see anything either--sorry Danielle, keep looking! Doubled dies on US coins are...
Here's an interesting coin I picked up recently--a Norway 1932 1 Ore. What got my attention was the curl jutting from beyond the "3"--not normally...
Thanks! I spot coins like this because most dealers never bother to check for them. I specialize in overdates, and most I find go unnoticed. :)
That's a dramatic D/D...I would be happy to have that coin.
This is a fun variety that is easily missed, unless you look carefully. I found this coin in a shop for just $1.50--a great price for this high...
Well sure--it's nothing like the MPD. :) But since my photo will probably be posted to this attribution site, one might as well mention it--at...
Shot for a friend, this particular variety has a bold MPD that extends into the field. It's quite easy to spot under a loupe (white arrow). But I...
That's an image size of 8688 x 5792pixels--wow! :D So, with a 24 x 36 sensor, that means each sensor pixel is only about 4 microns square. With...
Based on your last pic, if that were my coin...I would be pretty confident I had found the Snow-1 1888/7--congrats! :D
The more manual settings your camera has, the better potential for good results. Here are some settings your camera might have that you should...
It's a product of both, as this lens is extremely sharp. However, it is my lighting technique that helps resolve these details, including minute...
