You're welcome. Keep hearting coins and you'll find some good stuff.
Has absolutely nothing to do with wearing off the positive part of the die. It has to do with metal flow at the periphery of a convex die.
That's common for the VDB. That's what die wear looks like on a raised element of the die, and it doesn't take much wear at all on the VDB.
I agree with word. Damage on both.
And even with the imagination of Galileo a damaged coin is still going to be a damaged coin. Galileo supported all of his claims with concrete...
It's damage.
I'm not really seeing anything there. I might see slight separation on the date. Tough call from the pics.
Tough to match some of those 83s up. Anything going on with LIBERTY?
I'm not seeing anything, but I would actually rather see those images without the negative filter.
I agree with Snow. Nice DDR find.
Nice finds!
Nice find. Wexler lists it as 002. Coppercoins as 004.
It looks like 004, but LIBERTY would help confirm that.
It's either a counterfeit or someones handiwork on an 1865.
What does LIBERTY look like?
What year is that one?
They've been averaging around $70 on Teletrade, with the most recent NGC MS70 selling for $42.
6668 MS70 for the Founding Father issue, so the vast majority that NGC has graded have been given a 70.
Hard to tell from the photos. It could be plated(and looks so to me), could be a common science experiment that will turn Cents silver, or it...
And public forums in particular are full of misinformation. Read the grading guidelines for Lincoln Cents. Again, this is not my opinion; it's fact.
