No. Die deterioration is damage to the die, probably several hundred or more were produced before the die was replaced. It is a common error and...
Edge lettering orientation. Position A= edge lettering readable when the reverse (5F and shield) faces up. Position B= edge lettering readable...
Sal, you are not mistaken. That is indeed the less common type 2 mint mark for 1981. I just researched this for a ‘81 Proof Set I am gifting my...
MS63 lists for $5.00 USD. The proof is KM #1017a and same composition. But even though the proof isn’t silver, it still lists for $50.00 USD....
The Red Book is your friend. Knowing that mint marks were continued on the obverse starting in 1980 it follows that you see a Roosevelt from ‘82...
Business Strike 1982 No P. An AU50 lists at NGC for $100. Not sure if it is the “weak strike” variety.
Your post is the first time seeing this issue. Rather a good one. Back in 2014 or so I ran across some uncirculated 2012 Canadian cents. Being...
I think the obverse is better than VG, more like F12-15 …but the reverse is way better, maybe VF35. Look at the lines on the Eagle shield!…and I...
I do take your comment the right way…as constructive and informative. This one was the better of 2 in the display case. Out of 300 coins in the...
I went looking for a Flying Eagle cent but found this instead. It's my first and only Shield Nickel. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I paid the current FMV...
UPDATE: I have found a source for the 2 sets and am nailing down shipping and payment at this time…1:10pm CST…Spark
I need these 2 sets to complete a series. Clad versions preferred but will take what is available. Please tell me what you have that you are...
“Die chip” is the term used before, now “Interior Die Break” (IDB) is being pushed as the proper and preferred terminology. I agree with Sal and...
I crunched some numbers and came up with a fair value…I think. Using the PCGS listed values for the 1944-D 1C DDO FS-101, I calculated the...
Sal, it’s not that simple. The auction record is $1500 for a MS66RD. So first you have to set a grade on this one, which could be VG8-F12 as...
Wear has significantly diminished the doubling, so that is a bigger issue than prior cleaning. Both issues taken together seriously weaken the...
AU58…wear on obverse and reverse columns show wear. Contact marks on the steps, not FS.
Not seeing any doubling. I do see a lot of wear and contact damage. Did you see a variety match at Wexler or VV?
…like a screwdriver. A nickel then fit perfectly into the straight-slot screws of the era…other denoms too, but a silver dollar was probably too...
That is a gouge across the face of George. What you have is a damaged coin with medium wear.
