I've seen my fair share of strike doubling(even examples that look more extreme than this) and this just doesn't look like it under the loupe....
Nice one Jello. I would like to see clearer pics.
Michelle, I can't really tell from the photo, but if I'm seeing what I think you might be alluding to, you might have one of the doubled-dies....
It's been determined by experts that it is a series of die gouges.
Looks like the deep-cut "N" to me which would mean not an S-VDB. 'Course my eyes and my monitor have been wrong before.
Not my area either, but if memory serves me correctly, doesn't at least one of the major TPGs if not all of them only require the center bands to...
I wouldn't try to naked-eye them, as it is my understanding that a single, small contact mark could take away the FSB designation.

Sure did; I even posted a link to the winning bid in this very thread.
Bill Fivaz has the coin and is taking it to FUN the second weekend in January for some second and third opinions. I won't know anything until he...
Probably because neither Ken Potter, NGC, nor PCGS stand looking over my shoulder when I'm searching coins. Ergo, I doubt they've heard about it...

What's the general time-frame we're talking about here? I've got some '52 & '53's in a Wayte Raymond but they're still only slightly toned.
Any toning, whether it be in an oven or a Wayte Raymond holder is mother nature. The way that coin reacts to whatever environment or chemical...
I was about to bring that up about Wayte Raymond holders. My question is if Wayte Raymond holders have something inherent in them that toins...
Looks like it. Nice find. Here are the markers. http://www.varietyvista.com/1988PRDV0061%20cent.htm
