That is too bad. 1983 is a good year for clashes too. That would have been one of the better ones had it been treated better before you.
Well stated John. You caught everything that I saw and more. It's a nice coin, one that would definitely make my roll collection but probably a...
Looks like a fine point green Sharpie marker. Maybe a bored individual?
I'm not seeing DDR-001 at this time. Better photos that mimic one of the attribution sites would be helpful. I'm partial to Coppercoins myself,...
Curious cent, but I think it's a normal cent. What is throwing me off is that the EPU looks thicker...but the dots are not elongated. This would...
Retired then.
Still in service!!
I'm not seeing the Blakesley Effect and I see rolled over material in the affected area. I don't think this is a planchet error. Filed off perhaps.

Are you familiar with the Martin Rosol's Easter Kielbasa?? More deliciousness to go with the ham!!
EDS/MDS/LDS/VLDS all refer to the various die stages. Early, Middle, Late, Very Late Die Stages. As the die ages, the devices and design start...
I hadn't had a real interest in Ancients until joining CT. I enjoy seeing the conservations, the investigations, and the narratives most of the...
In my experience, finding high grade 1965, 1966, and 1967 especially EDS/MDS is rather difficult during a CRH event. A specimen like @DAVID J...
