Even at that resolution, I think I see the primary 8/7 marker.
Haha...thanks! This is the detail possible with a 36mpx dSLR. :)
This is a friend's coin, shot with a lighting technique I developed to resolve maximum detail. Shot with a Nikon D810 at ISO 64, 1/100, RAW. Lens...
I see the cud, and the date appears to be in the right place. It would be good to see a close up of the date area to confirm.
I think what I'm seeing is Longacre outlines, with perhaps some machine doubling too. The outlines around the legends are created when the die is...
That's exactly what I would expect a struck-through (or a piece fallen off the planchet) to look like.
This overdate is just one of many in this series. If you're looking to get into overdates, these small silver coins are a fun place to...
Nice dramatic RPM there!
You may easily have some overdates in your collection. There's a lot of countries to choose from that produced them into the 20th C. :)
Here's another Sweden overdate, the 2 Ore 1906/5. This one is described as "rare" in auction guides from Sweden. First, the markers compared to an...
This is one of my more subtle overdates--but it's clear if you know where to look, particularly on this high grade example. :) [IMG] Krause...
This is a recent pickup off eBay--with no other bidders; I guess it was hard to tell from the pictures. The 1902 S-4 or 1902 ODD-001 is a deep...
Thanks...I definitely came out ahead--it's also known as the C1 or "round chin" variety. :D
Thanks...I found it unattributed. I buy most my overdates that way. :)
I especially like that honest toning on your 1893 Steve! Here's one I found at a show for a nice price ($4): 1884 1c obv 1: [IMG]
I like this copper coin because there are so many cool details to study. The coin is an overdate: 1919/4, plus it shows die scratches and some die...
The date on this coin is crazy! 1880 :D
Not one that we can see. That it was sold as a real "pattern" probably indicates why it was made. That the seller knows details are wrong, but has...
Well...there's no record I've seen of a legitimate IHC pattern with the heavy-handed details added to Liberty. The surfaces also lack...
This recently sold on eBay--the obverse is pictured below. The date looks reasonably believable; what other details/surfaces just don't look...
Separate names with a comma.
