Your pictures are a bit out of focus and this may be a case a pareidolia but I'd like to explore this further with you. Looking at Coppercoins, I...
Your photos are better and with time, you'll get even better. Unfortunately, all I see is the remnant of a clash in the third bay of the Memorial...
@Pickin and Grinin It's good to know that you are in the Denver area. I may PM you at some point as I'm working on my roll set and the Denver...
Some unsolicited advice first (I apologize for this right out of the gate, but better safe-than-sorry). I would hold off selling anything to...
Seems like a small run on proofs lately...and Buffalo. Tally up!!
1998 and 2000 WAMs are the easiest to find (not that they are easy to find). 1999 is the rare one; I haven't found one of these in the wild. I...
I agree; an RPM is an RPM. Fun find!
Well, I will need crisper photos to check for doubling and/or markers. It's very difficult to get a clear picture holding the coin in one hand...
Thanks @Chopperhead for the additional photos. Unfortunately, it is not a DDO. Just a normal cent with some chatter on IGWT. Still a decent...
@jackalope128 I think what folks are trying to say is that when identifying a DDO/DDR, the first step is to confirm that you have doubling. As...
Fun find! I've been making change, but I haven't gotten anything to post for awhile now. Glad someone else is finding success in their change!
Looks like a combination of hydrozincite and verdigris. If you are interested, you could mix a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen...
@Chopperhead You need to publish clear pictures of IGWT. Mimic these photos aiming for same size and clarity:...
Two things - I’m not seeing doubling. There are too many nicks and dings in significant areas on the obverse and a finger print and spotting on...
Your coin is a 1968 S, not D. There are two DDOs for this date for business strike coins...very similar as I remember. You would need to give us...
There may be two DDOs for the date/mm (Coppercoins/Wexler) so you can check out the listings to your coin. Given the condition of your specimen,...
Interesting coin...but I'm not experienced with the design to make a firm commitment. I agree that there are a few distracting anomalies with the...
Yes. Hopefully you can get a refund. But it’s not the end of the world. Stings for sure. Lesson learned.
I agree with Chris - own to enjoy and if it appreciates in value...it's a bonus. There are better ways to make investments...but maybe not as...
Our fellow enthusiasts are right. Dryer coin worthy of a trade for another nickel...hopefully a better coin.
