A 65 RD is always nice to have.
ANACS might slab them, but it's not uncommon at all. The VDB initials on the base of the shoulder are so shallow that it's not uncommon for it to...
It's a plating disturbance/blister. You can read about it here- http://error-ref.com/BlisteredPlating.html

That's a ridiculous grade. I bet if they treated and attributed this as an improper alloy mix error the grade would have been higher.
64.
I suspect it was rejected by the machine due to the damage that sticks up on the rim on the reverse at 4 o'clock. What kind of planes did you...
Your coin looks suspiciously like copper to me. Have you weighed it? The aluminum cents you are referring to were struck in 1974.
Wait until it officially hits the Cherry Picker's Guide and then have it graded. That way PCGS will label it with the CPG attribution. When that...
Definitely photograph it out of the flip so that we can give a grade assessment.
I've only found one of those. It's a tough one. It should be listed in the upcoming new Cherry Picker's Guide and that will increase the value of...
Looks like die #1. Nice find.
I imagine it has something to do with the minting process of proofs. For some reason, the lines tend to be less pronounced and less likely to...
I can only speak for Lincoln Cents such as the one posted because that's my specialty, but I can say that with copper plated Cents, linear plating...
Except in cases of split plating(which is a separate matter altogether) it is rare to find blisters and bubbling that have broken. I would assume...
If we examined it up close, we could very well see them on the devices, but it's not uncommon for such plating lines to be absent or significantly...
These are striation lines in the copper plating. They are basically the equivalent of linear plating blisters.
All doubled dies are hub doubled. I think you are confusing that with mechanical, or "strike" doubling.
As opposed to what?
67 5FS.
Separate names with a comma.
