Beautiful grade--and well struck! :thumb:
Nice brockages...the detail on the Rupee is incredible! Yes--the Indian obverse of KGV has the elephant in the regalia on the portrait.
Nice group of coins! I'll add one of my favorites. [IMG]
Thanks! I was surprised to find this in a dealer's stock, especially at this grade. Funny how Krause lists the overdate first, since it's only one...
Here's a coin that caught my eye at the recent show, due to two distinct, angular protrusions beyond the contour of the 2 in 1912. I should note...
I hope to see your pics. If you found a Snow-1, the verified 1888/7 overdate, that would be a real find! I believe there are under 30 known to...
In case it's useful, I'll post a LMC with a partial plating error. I found this in a roll of cents. [IMG]
I've seen some of the Colombian 1c RPDs and they're pretty amazing. It seems that 1966 is a particularly good year--I wonder how many dies were...
These may be the stone giants of the legend, shot by a friend who lives in nearby Vik: [img]
Snaz, Those are nice--they have a lot of character.
I like the displacement on those digits!:thumb:
That looks like the proverbial "smoking gun". :kewl:
You would think some hint of a DDO would show in the eyelid? :rolling: These are always fun to read. :thumb:
Those are very interesting marks! :thumb: I got to wonder at the cause, since that's a really blundered die? Is it possible this damaged was...
Right, there's that possibility. I suppose I was trying to pursue an interesting angle on this, given what the OP said. Otherwise this is like...
It's an interesting feature, but thinking further on this one I don't think a date punch created this. The look is entirely different for RPDs or...
Yep--a very old "vise job" or possibly recent and re-toned. I'm sure the edge would show signs of flattening as Mike Diamond noted.
Yeah--I've seen post-mint counter damage many times before. But I also wanted to confirm with Chris about the nature of the mark, since he said...
I'm going to hold off until I see better details, as one area below appears to be relief.
Yeah, I wondered about counter damage too, hence my question. But Chris said: Counter damage doesn't create a raised mark on a coin. :confused:...
