I did not realize you two discussed this coin before it was posted to eBay. You were just trying to spare him a lot of unnecessary work over a...
Thanks for posting those fakes. They generally look terrible, but no doubt the quality will improve. I wonder if they'll ever be able to duplicate...
Your coin photo shows a shoulder strap obverse/near leaf reverse--a common one.
Very nice coin! :)
Yeah--for a genuine 1804 $1. The OP shouldn't get his hopes too high here--it's not like we're going to authenticate, buy it or anything else. :)
I'd like to hear what the error experts think of this one. :confused: It strikes me that if half a planchet got in the striking chamber, there...
Here's a diagnostic for the NSS obverse: [IMG] To my eyes, the most recent coin appears to be a shoulder strap obverse/near leaf reverse.
I would not be surprised if this coin were battered inside a dryer for a long time. The rims look flattened and pushed into the devices--which...
Yes, that was my take as well...I need a closer picture to see more detail. Something worth noting on this coin--the "P" mark underneath the bust...
You might try soaking in acetone and see if anything lifts off the surface. That would certainly be a good test for fingernail polish or glue,...
Sounds like we're on the same page, and I don't know the story on this particular one either. :) I wish I had more info on the nickel. I do know...
That coin was minted in Denver during the US Administration of the Philippines. It's .750 silver .0965 oz. silver weight. According to Krause,...
In 1883, the dates were added after the dies were hubbed. I think this was true for all US coins until the early 1900s...can anyone think of...
I would agree with that! :) Despite what's seen on TV CSI, enlarging a photo beyond its maximum resolution only interpolates existing data, and...
Great rpd! I see the spread on the first two digits, and perhaps all show repunching? Interesting too how the first date impression looks better...
Agreed--learning separates mere opinion from knowledge, which not only saves collectors from trouble, but focuses us on the real die varieties....
Great find! I like that error!
Here are two overdates I found recently. They're not scarce, but interesting all the same. :) [IMG]
That's an interesting off-center for a modern Japan coin. I have never seen anything remotely like that.
I would tend to agree with Desertgem--if it's a DDO, it's different than 1984P-1DO-001, as offset on the ear looks different to me. Just to check,...
Separate names with a comma.
