Not looking for value, just wanting to gain knowledge about coins.
Would someone post some links to this if possible for research. I'm not sure of the 'jargon' or terms of description for this.
die deterioration removes the surface of the die, am I correct, it doesn't leave metal on the surface to cause a recess in the metal. the removal...
Upon searching the die deterioration I found that 'foreign' object in the die when coin was struck causes this result - but thank you all for your...
So, would a planchet error cause this as well ??

I was checking pocket change when I found this one, looks like mint error to me? The east and west windows on Monticello are missing... [ATTACH]...

I just checked out Wexlers "Formative Years" and was wondering if it takes all the 'stages' to be a collectable or just various ones?
I'm sorry for asking so many questions but what better way to learn than to ask. "IF" a Cheerios cent has been opened is there another way to tell...
