There are parallel lines between other columns so my hunch is it's a unique plating issue. You could send images to James Wiles at Variety Vista...
I don't "get" any of these references. There's a whole thread on this guy's counter stamps but I'm too lazy to look for it.
The squiggle looks like a hit from the reeded edge of another coin. The post nasal drip could be a die chip, but it looks like a bit of metal was...
PCGS runs their forum like Stalin runs a country. A prolific author (RWB) and I demonstrated that their designation of a 1942 pattern cent as...
Damage. A repunch wouldn't be incuse.
I don't see anything glaringly wrong with it. Common coin in not great condition, but that doesn't mean the Chinese won't fake it. Judging it by...
The broken O and high 1 are interesting, I've not noticed that before and will have to poke around and see how common it is. I thought it deserved...
I picked the musical theme just because. Generally I find all the ones with a map on them kind of lame. I guess people need to be told what a...
I'm so rarely correct, I'm having a beer to celebrate. Having the cert# now and saving off the TV to zoom in on, I'd say there are lines on both...
If you should have expected it because of the images, I'll guess UNC Details - Cleaned. If so, I would look carefully under high magnification and...
Can't recall if I posted this before, but if you dig around, the bullionbox company address is Agion Theodoron 6 Agios Athanasios, 4102, Limassol,...
PCGS image shows hairlines all over Liberty and left of the torch, also on reverse. [ATTACH]
Claiming to have removed it from the slab made me suspicious, but the offsets looked correct. Too bad no one posted the images.
I know it's a pipe dream, but those "experts" should vet every coin that gets posted there before it's allowed. They've been skirting the law for...
Barcode scans correctly.
@gabepn you asked about specs, which implies that it would tell you something useful. So how about telling us the weight and diameter of this coin?
I don't understand why anyone would spend that much for a raw 1889-CC on ebay. To me both coins are counterfeits. Look at how wavy the bottoms of...
Just click the uspatterns link in my previous post for a list and links to details about the 44 different half dollar pattern varieties in 1877....
Its FS to me but I disagree with the designation criteria. It's supposed to be a strike designation, not how many bag marks there are. Bag marks...
@gabepn Got any details on this great great grandfather mint employee? Sometimes these family stories aren't entirely accurate. There are both...
Separate names with a comma.
