Years ago at the local art gallery here they had a showing of an artist who painted landscapes, on Lincoln cents. And they weren't bad, fairly...
That was before they stopped accepting coins that weren't slabbed by the top four firms. Yo will also notice in their write up that they pretty...
I confirm the OP as a 6G. Turns out I am also still missing images of reverses c and F. Not too surprising as they both only come on R-8 varieties.
Usually, but it is possible to for both sides to be misaligned and sometimes in different directions. Since the neck of the anvil die fits inside...
Looks like a 1936 dime with machine doubling. All of the 1929 dies and hubs would have been destroyed at the end of 1929 or early 1930 at the...
Not the same coin. Mint set is low relief, 50th clad set is high relief and the bust is larger.
I'll double check you when I have a chance but that probably won't be until sometime tomorrow night. (I'm at work and the information is on my...
Keeling Cocos beat them to it by 101 years. Russia issued plate money like that as well.
It is pictured on their website as being in a PCGS Genuine slab. Have traced it, it's the George Walton Specimen 10th finest known. Originally...
Weird denominations. A 1 and 5 dinar gold coin, a 5, 10, and 20 dinar silver coin, and a 10 and 20 dinar copper coin? The gold coins are the...
What in the world is a six figure (High six figure?) coin doing in a local auction? Image doesn't match any of the ones I have on file, but I...
Both damage.
I would bet that his statement is a subjective one and that he hasn't actually weighed it. If he had he would most likely have given you an...
Yes, if there was a cent stuck to the hammer die and then two planchets were fed into the press the bottom coin in the collar would have a raised...
Confirmed by whom?
All of the seated sets are tough. Easiest is the half dimes but the Philadelphia issues from 1863 - 68 are still very tough.
Harsh cleaning does not make weak denticals. Unless you are suggesting it has been so abrasively cleaned they have worn the denticals away.
Squeeze job, not done at the Mint. Someone squeezed a copper blank between two large cents. Novelty value only, no collector value.
Take a closer look at that 1883 nickel. There are at least five more die cracks on that coin than just the ones in the date.
Yes, if you get enough of them. 30 million of them like the OP coin and you should be able to retire fairly comfortably.
