I am familiar with both types of 42/1 dimes. I also know a recut date when I see it (most of the time); I simply see something different here....
There's the "hump" to the northeast of the 4 and the short spike at the top of the two. The more I look at it the more I imagine that I see.
This dime was offered on ebay as a 1942/1 but didn't sell. It does appear that there may be something other than a 4 under the 4 and something...
Everything except the 20-cents would Red Book about $350 in G-VG. The 20-cents would be around $460 in VG. I paid WAY less than that.
Brainstorm and coin sources On my daily walk through one or two of the local malls, I've always noticed that their fountain/wishing well filled...
The 2 cents are 1864, 2x1865, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, 1870 and 1871 The dimes are 1888 and 1911 The half dimes are 1840-O (no drapery), 1853...
Just a bit too much hair wear to go above EF-40
Usually you can't find anything spectacular, and that is the case here - except for the two 20 cent pieces; one 1875-S and one 1875-CC - which...
First, find a valuable coin Second, find a good, stiff wire brush Third, rub the first with the second [IMG]
I wouldn't conclude that the second coin was cleaned. The hidden areas in the date and motto look the same as the field overall. I think it just...

Your statement is a bit ambiguous. Saying "The same punch was used for the 1914-D cent." should have ended with "as with the genuine 1916-D...
But, if you are looking for a 1909-S VDB, you still have to look at the 1893-S Morgan listing to eliminate it as a possibility. You'd also have...
Well, of course, my figures were, in a way, the extreme of possibilities but, when we discuss ebay needing to police their listings, we have to...
The number of comparisons are 10.3 million times the listings, not 10 times. If there were 10 thefts and 5 listings, each of the five listings...
My thought exactly. I'm no giant fan of ebay (although I do use them from time to time - I prefer Craig's list for most stuff) but there's simply...
I just received a group of coins from a state unclaimed property auction. This was sight unseen with only a general description of what was there...
Certainly the die break on the reverse ties your pictures to the OP's coin. However, on the obverse, even given the wear on the OP's, there are...
I would say it graded at MS64 because of the number of contact marks around the word LIBERTY, around the rim of the shield, at 1:00 and 7:00 on...
True enough, but that's what the feedback feature is for.
