Post mint error...it didn't get into the cellophane that way. Could be counterfeit. Taste it.
@paddyman98 Nice 2 hours! So I took your recommendation and picked up the 440 detector...spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out the settings...
Essential reading for Variety Hunters!
No problem @expat. It's important to note that minor varieties are out there by the droves. Of course, typically not largely sought after or...
Relative to the known varieties the 8 as Rick notes is the key. And a well placed hit on a digit can split the plating and create weird optics....
I didn't think it was the suggested listing myself, but the split in the tail of the 9 hints at doubling. That said, I've seen split plating in...
I can't tell from your photos, but the 9 does look promising. It's probably not Stage B as VV would have probably called out the die clash. And...
@SouthSide There are tons of great tips here at CT to help you with taking photos. Here are a few photos that might help you steady your phones...
I think you are right about the direction. And it explains the damage to the lips and under the nose (same direction). Big bounce and perhaps...

Oh...and a Bar nickel.
OK...not my intention to jump your thread, but I decided to do a box last weekend and didn't want to start another thread. It wasn't a special...
When I was a kid, a friend and I went to their lakeside camp and we decided to do some metal detecting there. We found tons of stuff: coins,...
A classmate of mine growing up found an 1838 Coronet Large Cent the other day metal detecting. VF/XF details. Keep dreaming: it could happen!...
I've been shifting my paradigm. Not doubled in the context of the old paradigm, but by a new paradigm, the anomaly produced does have a similar...
Class 2 doubling. Fun find when the devices are crisp!!
I believe it received some kind of media blasting. Looks like someone tried to remove environmental damage, or perhaps paint, and some remains....
I'm in the AU camp. It's a terrific coin to pluck from a roll, but I think that the circulation added the surface blemishes and wear in the high...
Separate names with a comma.
