The civil war token is a great coin. It has the fantastic die cracks on the obverse, the reverse shows a very strong die clash with the obv. So...
During that era the dates were punched into the dies by hand with a four digit logotype punch so the date placement would differ slightly on every...
Not really, we price things at what they are worth now, not at what they will be worth at some unknown date in the future. My laptop at some...
Bad image, but even so you can tell the "overdate" is laughable. [img]
The centering compass would look something like this. One point at the center of the die and the other leg scribes the placement line As far as I...
And DON"T post thumbnails!! Full size images please. I have never put anyone on ignore, but Coinwild is really trying my patience.
Sounds like a packaging error where an extra S mint cent got packaged in the same cell as the S five cent piece. Interesting, unusual but not...

Yep, overpolished die, and this shows up on several if not many different years. There is nothing really special about them even though Coin...
Type 1 reverse? Wouldn't that be the weak N rev? The 1908 has the bold N rev which should be the correct one. Or is there another rev used on...
One tiny correction and one maybe. Replace dauphin with dolphin in both places it is used, the Dauphin if the heir to the throne of France....
Talk to your representatives. That's how laws get changed. (Helps if some of your "words" have lots of zeros in them.)
Hard to say what it is. It could also be a token salesman sample. The number of the reverse could be a style order number.
I think that business strike price should probably be $15,000. When it comes the late shield nickels and three cent nickels the usual rules for...
