We know you’re savvy. :-)
Cracked dies do not affect the rim of a coin. This specimen shows the effect spreading into the rim. The new photos confirm this. For this reason,...
When I first saw this phenomenon, I was puzzled. As you probably notice, there’s a slight depression in those areas affected. Like you might see...
I agree. Struck through grease. It’s pretty common for this vintage.
Maybe. The involvement of the rim has me thinking it’s something with the plating or the planchet.
Perhaps subsurface corrosion - https://www.error-ref.com/subsurface-corrosion/
The ‘crack’ extends through the rim on both sides. This would suggest to me that we are looking at something else.
Water, coffee bean extract…other ingredients to soften the bitter, roasted flavor. ;-)
Well, maybe $110 mixed change collected over the last few months. I was able to snag a few higher state cents for my Lincoln Roll collection, but...
The Liberty Lincoln
My understanding is that Congress establishes what denominations are to be made and how much/many. In 1964, the P and D requirements were tall and...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is a fun DDO. Lots going on with this coin. Here’s a ‘72 DDO with MD.
Ok, my little poker pot (where gather my loose change) was too full to place the lid on prompting me to sort. I ran through the quarters, dimes,...
I missed this one. But agree…DDO.
Check for VDB in lower left of bust. That’s a definite difference between a teens LWS and one from 1951. VDB added to bust in 1918.
1990’s rubel, I think.
I agree with Ed. From the photo it looks like a partially filled device or die abrasion. You probably can rest easy and avoid damaging any walls....
https://coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1974&die_id=1974s1mm001&die_state=mds It’s difficult to tell from your photos. Crisp rather...
Finding DDR/DDO specimens isn’t difficult. Finding quality specimens are and desirable specimens are even harder. The thing is to take pleasure...
