It would be an error, IF it is genuine and IF it is underweight. Inspection and measurements of the edge are unreliable, as this varies according...

It's impossible to identify the source of the damage or when it occurred. But damage is damage. Any damage that occurs after the strike is not...

A few years ago you could pick these up for between $50 and $75. So the price has more than doubled. I even vaguely recall one selling for close...

The first cent shows machine doubling. The bottom two coins may show splits in the plating or may exhibit a form of die deterioration doubling...
It's definitely an acid job. Clues are as follows: 1) The pattern of exposure of the copper core. 2) Uniformly fuzzy design on both faces. 3)...
