Wait. So I was correct in saying that they are lower grade AU's and not higher grade XF's? :D -Brian
The obverse looks to have more of a cameo affect then the reverse, but then again I am judging these poor quality photos so I really cannot give a...
The second one is pretty attractive, therefore this is the one I would choose. Others here say it is an XF45, but it looks like a lower AU grade...
If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the coin? -Brian
Just as I had expected. ;) -Brian
It could be a 12 curved clipped planchet?!?! Hahaha. Although, it is highly unlikely. :p -Brian
It looks like some sort of die deterioration. Either that or the coin has been chemically rinsed. -Brian
Sounds like a "filled 5", also refered to as a nicely placed die chip or "cud". It is moderately common in the Wheat Cent series and adds no...
Will most likely end up being ridiculously difficult, but COUNT ME IN anyways! :) I'm always up for a challenge. -Brian
The coin almost looks to have been struck thru "late stage capped die", but the difference in diameter makes absolutely no sense. I'll say PMD for...
The first coin I bought to start my coin collection was an AU (raw) 1949-S Franklin Half Dollar. I knew this coin was the "key date" (even though...
Well, in all honesty, I don't feel I can give an in depth opinion without a closer, inhanced quality photo of the place of interest. Zoom in at 8...
VF20?!?! ...The coin looks to be at least an XF45 piece. If someone were to sell that coin at a VF20 price, I would buy it in a split second! :)...
Hmm, interesting. Then it is possible that it is a broadstruck coin. Because of the metal compostion, it may just appear to be ragged around the...
It almost looks like a oddly shaped die crack. Is it elevated off the surface of the coin? -Brian
I am unfamiliar with this exact type of coin, but judging by how rough it is around the edges, it looks more likely to be PMD. If the diameter of...
Yummmmmmm!... :eating: -Brian
Ohh, alright. :) ...No, I don't have a dino-lite but I was considering purchasing one. I am looking for a good way to capture pictures of my...
Probably from crimping. ...I see no differences that point to it being a DDO, although the photos are rather low quality so I may be incorrect....
Is your the AM2011 Dino-Lite? -Brian
