One way to tell it's die deterioration or machine doubling rather than true doubled die is that the mint mark is affected. In those days, unless...
The widow I mentioned received it as a gift from an elderly and disabled couple whom she took care of, both of whom recently died. Before he died...
I think it is 64. I don't think the flatness above the ear is wear. It looks like weakness in the strike to me.
I use my Red Book a lot, and it has a great deal of information in it. Unfortunately my most recent one is 1991, which is not much use for...
Thanks for the info. I do grade my stuff, but I wanted a second, more expert opinion. I had it pegged at G-6, but I'm really out of my league...
I'm trying to help a widow I know value some coins she came into. What would a dealer pay her for this? What grade would you give it?...

Very nice coin! I'm way out of my league when it comes to identifying the different Edward pennies, but I know I like that one! Just as an...
Actually, it was Descartes who wrote, "I think, therefore I am." (He wrote in Latin, cogito, ergo sum) long before Sartre was born. :) Sorry,...
Here is my total collection of Croatian coins, bought from a dealer's 5-for-a-dollar box.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
As it appears on my computer monitor, the color is a bit off. Perhaps it has been brass plated or something, but that may be just my monitor....
It is difficult to tell from a photo whether it is raised, indented, or just scuffed or stained. The coin in hand is three dimensional, but the...
Here's mine, not very nice, and I don't even know if it is genuine, but it fills a hole in my type collection. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
