The coin in post #7 looks like a doubled die. The upper left portion of the I and then the A indicates that to me. The C is also a part of the...
It's a nice looking coin but I need a clearer image of the date and mintmark area to be able to tell what it might be. Thanks, Bill
Hi, It is post mint damage and it probably was turned in a lathe of some sort. This is sometimes the first step in the making of jewelery made...
There is no way an S could be there. There was no S punch in use in 1964 on cents. Only D mintmarks. It appears to be a slight anomaly in the...
Frank, The reason is that yours looks like a die gouge and does not exactly match what would be seen on a doubled die if the doubling was spread...
I agree, this is a typical looking 1955 struck by extremely worn dies. Also, The 1955 "Poorman's" as they call it is not a doubled die at all....
Hi, You can see the metal that has been moved and you can see where the metal was moved too. As suggested above. The coin is damaged and the...
Hi, A minor die chip. It's fairly common and does not increase the value of the coin. Thanks, Bill
Yep, It's machine doubling. Look at the O of ONE CENT in your picture. You can see the underlying part of the letter which in fact is the real...
Hi Frank, I would also be curious to know how it was determined that it is not a die gouge. It would appear that there would be more areas of...
Very Nice! :-)
Hi, All the coins were plated and unfortunately were not part of a "Mint Set" but were placed in an after market holder after the coins were...
I am not seeing anything major in these pictures. Several of the die varieties for this date involve the eagle's eye. Can you post a clear shot...
Well, Sir...You do a GREAT Job! Beside the overall quality, I am highly impressed with the consistency of your lighting! Thanks!
A slight veer but still on topic. COOP, I don't say this to you enough....Your photos and the way you lay them out are just FANTASTIC!! I...
It is possible that it is a strike through a small fragment of something . I indicated that as debris:-) It is definitely not a lamination per...
One last thing, look for the little "L". I adjusted the brightness on your image and you have one of the bronze versions of the coin.
Hi, It also should be noted that , if by chance , that information as to the number of coins known came from a printed source or the rotated die...
Hi, Not much more than a normal 1864 cent. Rotated dies are fairly common on Indian Head cents. There are several varieties of 1864 cent. If...
Hi, I can never understand the willingness to pay as much as fifty bucks or more to slab something that can be identified easily. What is...
