That's really funny, because I currently work on the real "good ship Daniel Webster." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Daniel_Webster_(SSBN-626)
Both of the cents shown in this thread have been treated with chemicals and have grossly unnatural color. Blech.
This is a piece I'm very proud of, as I discovered the variety myself. It is now recorded as 1951 DDR-005: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The more significant it is, the more it's worth. They are fairly common, so most of them aren't a huge premium. Take a look at this one, I think...
Nope, those are both machine doubling. These are not doubled dies.
All of the same date? 2002P? Now that's an obsession! I have found this thread immensely interesting. I had never considered the idea of a...
Yes, if you go to the forum page, at the top there should be a "Watch Forum" link you can press. It's right below the big blue "post a new thread"...
Some awesome coins posted here, y'all. @MeowtheKitty , have you seen this thread? This seems perfect for you!
Your pictures are out of focus. Try again, with better lighting. See if your camera has a "macro" mode, which takes better pictures of closeup...

F/VF details, scratched. That reverse scratch is old, but it is *deep*

It is one of my favorite coins, and one of the highlights of my collection. Even though its tiny!
Yes. NGC MS-67 * PL CAC
When I bought my trime, I asked a few dealers at the time if it might be a Proof. They pointed out to me many of the things I'm now mentioning....
Yup, that video confirms in my mind that it is a very attractive PL business strike. I think PCGS got this one right.
Haha, I think you've been away for awhile. I sold most of my Franklins. I'm full-bore into a Prooflike set now. See my main set here:...
If it isn't Details, Damaged, then I'll guess 45. How do you know its a proof? Is this a proof only type, or date?
A minor lamination like this is actually often viewed as a flaw, and many collectors require a discount for this. It is not considered desirable.
