No, I would leave it as it is, I like Mike's term 'simulacrum'. In collecting you may run into several over the years. Like the outline of Elvis...
Yacorie, are you specifically speaking of the greenish dots under the '8' of the date? That could be the corrosion where PVC plasticizers /acids...
I feel it is just die damage. Until 1907, the whole date ( 4 numerals) was punched into the die by a logo ( gang) punch, so it is hard to get one...
$250 or more if what is claimed. IMO. But that would change if opened at all.
Thanks for the larger photos. I do not see any indication it is the proof doubled die. I do not see any marker on the reverse of a DDR either,...
It wasn't doubled stamped ( struck), but instead the die used had been produced with doubling, thus making such a cent a Doubled die cent. ( The...
There are more than one die face of the 1955/55 cent DDO Die #1, and the proof one mentioned above is in the hundreds of dollars PF63 up. But your...
I agree with Tom B, altered 1944 D. The "1" in a real 1914 D is almost exactly the same distance from the 9 and the 4, but this one does show the...
If it is a proof, the most likely candidate is Coneca 4-O-II, which is also paired with a DD reverse, but the photos are not sharp enough to tell...
They really aren't that uncommon. I have seen quite a few unattributed at shows. Interesting but I do not buy the error label, as errors are...
Why not use something like this with a stick on label near the zipper. Plenty of room with the 2x3, although they come in many sizes. PE, safe....
The mint packaging on the sets is not archival in nature. The material itself is non-reactive, but it does have a higher porosity than mylar or...
All of the raised devices show the tiny bumps and pits of erosion die copy. The fields which are the higher part of the die can be polished down,...
My advice may be applicable or not. I gather you are very new to coin collecting and wish to hunt varieties and errors. If you are pursuing such...
Enough.
I and other mods have been monitoring the thread all along. I saw different opinions and mistaken information by several posters and some...
And that is well and good because such are not allowed outside of the advertisement section and would attract unwanted attention to both sides :)
Rodeo and Irish, take a break~ Do not post further on this thread! posts removed! I will close it if this hissy-fit continues. Jim
I thought about heat as pmd, but didn't fill the situation in the whole. 'Grease' is really a mat of lubricant and microscopic metal chips and...
I would venture it was struck through "grease" ( at least partially).
Separate names with a comma.
