Ya Did Good! :-)
It is estimated that between 35% and 40% of all Winged Liberty head (Mercury) dimes show some degree of rotated dies. In fact one way to...
Hi, Yep, that's what it is. I think we've heard that somewhere before:-) ( from several people:-) ) Have Fun, Bill
Hi, No, Coneca's population reports only include what is reported to them. There is no way to ever know how many of something is out there....
A weight was posted as 3.22 grams, which is within tolerance for a coin that should weigh 3.11 grams. It's a Lincoln cent planchet, struck into a...
Unfortunately, that's all fiction.
jazzcoins...different types of encasements done in different ways produce different types of damage to the edges. Some encasements wrap around...
David H, You are simply incorrect. When a portion of a planchet gets between the hammer die and a coin being struck, the pressure of the strike...

I'm going with the group that wants to see better pictures and more of them. The E PLURIBUS UNUM on the first coin in the thread is not right for...
This doesn't hold water. The denticles on a canadain cent are like a series of small dots on the surface of the field , at the rim. A strike...
That's why I think it is possible but not likely. I haven't seen an encased cent where denticles were a part of the design toward the inside of...
Hi, It Is :-) Nice Find! Bill O'
That's the point, it was sorta suggested in an earlier post, but it can't happen.
Hi, Being struck through something is about the only way the effect seen on your coin would happen on modern coinage. In this case there is no...
I will also add that getting coins certified costs money. It is easy for people who would not be paying the fee to suggest that damaged coins get...
Hi ....The denticles happen at the moment of strike. A "foreign planchet" is blank. so there are no denticles on a blank planchet, foreign or...
The first coin asked about is indeed an indent. It is an error. The second coin seems to be tampered with. Thanks, Bill
