Thanks for that overlay, Hommer. Puts things into perspective.
We get lots of S cents in Seattle, but I see few from Philly. Still looking for a wide AM...hardly ever get a P to even look at.
Guess I will bone up on clashes. The tough part for me is figuring out the die part that clashed, if it isn't obvious...like talons in Ike's forehead.
Checked obverse between head and R...nothing. A couple faint gouges from eagle's right shoulder toward his neck. Nothing headed to "N" from...
There are not any truly rare "War Nickels", some are a little scarcer than others, but in circulated condition they do not command a premium. The...
Next decent show around here, January 16 and 17. [IMG] Kent Commons 525 4th Avenue North Kent, Washington 98032
Thanks, I had checked those and couldn't find a match. Luckily there were only over 200 to go through, so I may have missed it.
I am in Seattle, too. I am not impressed with the knowledge (or lack thereof) of coins at the major coin dealer in Bellevue and Seattle who...
Just to the right of the lower olive branch leaves are a couple raised blobs headed toward the nasty little black spot of an otherwise...
Last six boxes of Loomis halves... 2 Bens.
The preceding was quite entertaining. I have another coin pic to post in a little while which will probably not generate quite as much angst....
I suppose that grade is okay. I, like some of the others, am dissuaded by the rim discoloration.
One more...here's one I found in my collection a few years ago (warning--picture not as good as the preceding).
Both cracks are on the coin. I didn't notice the obverse crack (duh!) until it was under further review.
Chris, RIght you are, it is 1B II 1 · B2a (Die Break 1) I-3 R-6. The obverse shows the crack from the "1" to Liberty's neck. Thanks.
Thanks for the response. Definitely raised. At a steep angle with the light on the opposite side I can see a shadow.
With shipping that is $8.00 for a roll of Lincolns, probably from the 40s and 50s, with maybe a few common date 30s. I'd skip it.
Extending from roughly the mintmark to the ray extending down from the first L. The coin is a 1923-D dollar. Is this a commonly known die crack?...
Last eight boxes of Loomis halves---ONE 40%. I believe I have looked at the same coins many times.
I just bought 40 Morgans and Peace dollars for $13 each. Some halves and quarters and dimes for 9 times face.
