First coin, struck through something that fell on the press before the hammer die made contact. The shape doesn't suggest anything in particular...
But, it could have, for instance, been struck on an already struck Canadian cent. It would help if the OP would post a full picture of both the...
Here's an interesting, and long, article on the subject of US coins struck on foreign planchets. Yours isn't on the list, but it could be a new...
I don't think the dentils are quite the same as on the Canadian Cent, but with the wear on the lincoln, maybe they did start out the same. US...
All valid points. However the plating is pure copper, which is relatively soft, while the earlier cents were much harder brass or bronze. It...

The link you provided is for jobs available to current employees, not the general public. There are two openings available to non-current...
Since we're guessing price, I'll guess it will be between $1750 and $2000 (i.e., double spot price). You don't think that the Mint is going to...
Even though you are technically correct regarding the law and the word COPY, I think the meaning of the law is fulfilled if a fake coin is stamped...
Yeah, I know. But I'm 69 years old and I've got drawers full of "thoughts" that even the givers don't remember giving to me. Ebay, here I come.
How many here got coins or accessories for Christmas that they didn't particularly want, didn't need or can't use? My brother-in-law "knows I...
It's interesting that apparent die polishing has taken away the top of the first S in STATES and the top of the O in OF, but apparently has not...
