The wonderful thing is that it is up to you; no approval from any of us is needed...not that you were asking. No penalties if a person variety...
Yes, vinegar is acid. When folks use ‘strong’ acid you’ll get the wavy look you won’t get with vinegar or Coke. I should have been clearer....
I see 4 DDO varieties and 3 RPM varieties at Coppercoins but nothing matches your coin. VV May have others and maybe Wexler’s.
Yes. I used to do that to but it morphed into that plus looking for doubling traits. This is necessary if you are looking for a discovery piece....
Pickled in vinegar is my guess. Acid would make it look wavy and perhaps not as pitted.
I’m thinking of the 1960D SD over LD DDO with RPM. It doesn’t happen where two types of doubling occur on the same coin. I don’t think there is...
I have 2-3 myself but I learned a tough lesson early on in my Variety hunting career. I had a 1995-1DO-002 in my hand only I didn’t really know...
This is a bridge for those that must suffer through a night of anticipation. This was a box from a few years back: [ATTACH]
Thanks for the tease, @DatDareNickelGuy .
@Kasia - check this link out http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1995&die_id=1995d1do003&die_state=eds The most valued DDO for this...
I got lucky. After reading about them here a few weeks back (furry may have just closed out completing a set) I found one in my change. Even...
The tip of the '84 LMC is probably MD; pretty common for that year for whatever reason. May have to do with the minting procedure then. I'm not...
I think it's a mix. DDD is noticeable in the look of the devices; misshapen letters that transition from thinner to thicker. But there is also a...
Those '44s keep showing up!!
I need to look at dimes closer. I notice many MADs, but maybe I'm not flipping enough of them over for a better look.
Updating electronic records is easier but not always maintained. Grabbing data from a few sanctioned sources is the best way. And as for posted...
The 1909 VDB is a nice circulated specimen. The VDB may be worn, but as Michael notes, it appears to be there. A little bit of damage and maybe...
Here's an interesting phenomenon for CRH enthusiasts to look for (trails on EPU and USofA and the Memorial) - [ATTACH]
The Red Book is an easy, ready-reference but it's accuracy when it comes to values is questionable and overstated (and inconsistently so). I have...
Soldered dime removed/fell off? Looks like a soft weld attempt.
Separate names with a comma.
