Big shout out to @Mountain Man and your awesome generosity! You are an inspiration to us all…imo…Spark
Yes, the original Master Die failed and a second was made that had the doubling; that was passed on to the working hubs and working dies. So this...
Spelling Police in action! Soaring in to save the day, correction to post #11… …members can cite better examples… So, there! I just busted...
I’m not seeing it. First off, the doubling on the 2 of the date is not there. …imo…Spark
Nothin’ wrong with posting pretty coins, in fact we all need to post them more often. Don’t stop. There’s a feeling of something elegant when...
Pam, The “something else” would include the fact that all the coins in this post are less than mint state, they had a mint run of billions over 2...
Danny, …you would just be wasting time and money. There is only circulation wear and corrosion on this coin and it is only worth face value....

Excellent find!…imo…Spark
…the coins need separation to avoid contact with obverse and reverse. Plastic tubes promote stacking and risk damage. Even if they are common...

All of it is PMD. Contact marks, scuffs and abrasions…imo…Spark
5. I sent them to ANACS in 2014 before I really knew better. A 1964 Washington I thought was MS63 came back MS65, out of a mint set that the...
There’s no doubling at all. All of the important PUPs for the variety have been battered by circulation, including those of the date, and the key...
Go to John Wexler’s site: doubleddie.com. Check the 1971-D hub doubling varieties to see if yours is a match. You can also check Variety...
I would not keep this penny. It is a copper plated zinc (CPZ) with surface plating irregularities as well as significant split-plating. It would...
@Rheingold makes a good point, it does look harshly cleaned and at 1.1 million minted a common acquisition, he has expertise on these. What this...
