As Chris says on the reeding , photo 5 , the reeding is of variable width due to the pressure applied. The mint would have used a die for the...
Maybe a charm bracelet piece. I have seen bracelets, belts, coat cuffs made from articulated joined coins. Chinese use gold coins. I once...
From the photos , AU-50, details, cleaned /altered surfaces .
I was fortunate to buy gold coins from him when gold was slightly under $300 back in '92 or so, and he was outstanding in his service and prices...
Do not make duplicate threads for same subject matter. Other thread was deleted.
It seems to be the most profitable for the least knowledge. A friend has one, and I have to look away when they offer less than 50% of melt, as...
Since digital balances round off the last digit, the more resolution you can get the better ( 0.01 better than .1), but usually at the sacrifice...
As promised. It really is in black/white on photo paper. Coin was in a plastic sleeve paper clipped . [IMG]

Yes, Anacs had a separate grade for each sides. I can photo one of mine and attach if anyone is interested.
I agree that Paul has a very good point here. Dipping does alter the surface of the coin, as the acid does not just work on the silver sulfides...
I agree also, damaged.
Just to clarify the question you are asking, 1. Are you asking about a 1983 cent that was 100% copper? - No , the US has not minted such. 2. Are...
Perhaps it was green when NGC slabbed it the first time. My 1937 MS coins for some reason tend to tone more intensely than previous and later year...
It looks like tone to me also, but very suspicious toning ( to me) . A little on the obverse also.
It is not a doubled die from the photos. Most likely it is plating issues as noticed also in the bubbled surface elsewhere.
I am not sure of the Longacre as normally described. Generally Longacre's was described as doubling appearance from the logotype which added the...
Hmm, OK.
Could it be an attached lamination that has raised a little ?
