Hi, I took a closer look at your coin, but cannot see enough at the resolution that suggests a 2 under the 3. Then I looked through Charest's book...
Those sure are nice looking ancients! I've never bought from them, but I read their coins include a certification from David R. Sear, which should...
Agreed--when I get to Peru, the museum will be item #1, then Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Those pillar stamps are incredible! :yawn:
How interesting--I especially like the 1933/3 :thumb: Great coins and pics! I'll keep my eyes open for these at the next coin show.
Something to check on your coin is the doubling of the date in relation to the mint mark. Since the mint-mark is punched after the die is hubbed,...
If I'm ever in Peru, I'll check out the museum and the coin shops (if I can find them). However, wouldn't it be a little risky for a tourist to...
Great pics! That portrait punch is fascinating! :D
Jim, Good eye! I saw that too across the top of the 7. I should look closely again, but my take was possibly MD. Sometimes just one lighting angle...
Snaz, Cool, thanks for the link and info on that new one. :thumb: Judging by the detail from the pic, that looks like a repunched date--a narrow...
Here is a 1927 Centavo I found at a local show. At first, I thought this was the 1927/6 due to some similarities. But after I took a closer look,...
Those are very distinctive--I especially like the 1888/7 1 Centavo. :thumb:
I didn't mean to sound sarcastic, sorry! Here I was referring to another member who's very helpful/knowledgeable on Lincoln cents: Bill aka...
Here I would guess this is metal pushed around post-mint. One thing to know is that after 1908, all cents had the complete date on the...
As a bit of perspective, I know a lot of Aussies who collect die crack coins, particularly the pre-decimals. I'm not sure about this year, but the...
I agree with the others--it's a LD
I'm not positive either, but it's the closest I saw in Snow's attribution guide. Is it possibly a matter of lighting between photos? Seeing how...
Good to see the whole date! Based on the position of the mpd and date, I think this may be Snow-10, described as "9/9 (s), 8 in denticles". If...
I share DavidH's sentiments. It would also be good to see the whole date in relation to the bust and denticles because that helps determine the...
Ok, I'm just saying...if a shop owner exudes that kind of casual suspicion, they shouldn't be surprised when that sentiment is returned--you get...
Oh brother. :rolling: Chalk that up to the "shopkeeper demeanor", but if you've already conducted business with them, they should be way past...
