That copper coating is very thin and yet I don't see any zinc showing.
They give some flexibility on old copper. I assume because those planchets had issues among other reasons. It's true, that all things being equal...
No idea. $3500?
A repair may have been attempted later since the coin is very old and a future owner thought he would "fix" it.
Ah OK. I wasn't sure. But a thick wire or some other metal?
I missed that 1883. That's incredible. Def high VF. You can read LIBERTY and there is definition in the hair. $15. No way this circulated. Some...
Whoa nice ender. I don't see doubling on the 1993-D. Maybe highlight it or something. I keep getting these Anna May Wong quarters. What did they...
There are a number of items that a coin can be struck through, and usually you can determine what it was. (Grease, cloth, wire, etc.) This is most...
What is the strike through from? (Grease, cloth, wire etc.)
Too bad they ruined that 1909 VDB. Although, as a special collector value, prob worth book anyway. $10-$15?
Yes I agree. May not be a hole but a planchet flaw. If it didn't grade details, it's prob OK.
If the letters are reversed, they know it's a vise job.
I had what I thought was a D over S, but when I showed it to my coin guy, he said it looked like D over D. (Which I don't think is even a thing.)...
When they went to the super cheap copper plated zinc cents, you get things that look like errors. Plating blisters, and I assume the split plating...
Yes the ultra cameo has a fine artistic, aesthetic quality to it. As a piece of art. Can you check the pop count on the PF 70's and PF 69's?
The 1923 seems over graded. The others are very nice, and I imagine some may have old cleanings.
The dealer has to make money, but as a bullion coin with low collector value, who cares if it is BU? You can only sell it to another "collector"...
You really see that clash on the reverse.
Found this one in a coin star and then someone mentioned it was MAD as well. The condition was pretty good (XF/AU?) and it's low mintage. But...
There is similar crud under the N I T E D at the top left. I think cleaning is almost 100% here. You can't get these coins, uncleaned in blast...
Separate names with a comma.
