I agree. Wonderful find from the wild and better than most LWCs...never mind the age.
The Cherrypicker's guides try to turn an art into a science (refined art?). Folks could get an idea about which items are more desirable than...
It looks like some doubling in the lettering of LIBERTY. This is a common spot for doubling on the squeezed era coins. I suspect that I have...
I enjoyed that Donna...and the subsequent postings. Well done folks!!
I agree that in this example the photos were more than adequate. Some of the more minor postings sometimes need a written narrative to help draw...

Looks like a late die stage where things are happening to the die. Chips and other deterioration making the devices look smeared (doubled-like),...
On another note, I really appreciate the circulation sets!! I recall advice I received as a kid from the LCS staff: buy the very best you can...
I haven't CRHed in a few years now, but I mainly did nickels and cents. I am not certain on the ratios anymore, but I think I'd pull a Buffalo...
The markers look different to me. And the other potential markers you show here are probably better diagnostics for the variety. I don't think...
Read up on conserving coins. Try using the most conservative of the methods and progress upward. You may be surprised at what simple distilled...
