A cruise sounds good. Is that one of the options for the 10,000 level?
Thanks Green! Had to make a short-field landing on that one.
Thanks guys! Looking forward to seeing and sharing some more great coins.
I can't tell with this one. Both "E"s in ONE CENT look like 1959D-1DR-001(Copper Coins)/1-R-II-C+VI(Coneca). The die markers don't match, but I...
Both coins are mine, and the photos were taken by me. Other than cropping and white balance, the photos weren't altered in any way. Mike stated...
Not knowing what during the minting process could cause this I wondered about the planchet also. As you said though with two from the same die...
Can't I now cash them in for an '09-S VDB? Actually it just reminded me to thank everyone here. I've learned a tremendous amount in the time...
Since I just changed light sources, I had to go back and check the coin. I think that must have been a piece of fuzz from the cloth that I use to...
Bill, Here's the reverse. Also, another shot of the "E" and also the "R" which shows doubling as well. The last two images are die markers from...
Bill, Here's a photo of the obverse as well as another photo of the reverse without the Pug hair and a photo of the reverse of the second coin...
Marshall- I too treasure knowledge! As far as the date goes, it looks like die-deterioration doubling. As far as the mint-mark goes it's a...

My guess is that the larger coins fill more of the focus area. Try switching the focus mode from multi-point to single-point. This will cause...
It is a common date and my guess would be about F12 on the grade. I don't think you would do any harm to it with pure acetone, but I don't think...
Thanks Mike. That got me to searching and I found a reference to a '24-S with bar on the obverse(called the "goiter" variety) and a '24-D with...
Thanks for the detailed answer. I thought that it would be improbable given the number of strikes they make with working hubs and also given the...
Does anyone know of an example of a letter being dropped from a hub to a die? Reading another thread got me to thinking about that. When looking...
Dropped letters leave an incuse image on the coin. From what I can see from your photos the mark in question is raised. It is an interesting...
Bill, That line is indeed a hair. Whenever you have a Pug fur gets all over everything! I'll post a pic of the obverse as soon as I get home...
