One thing I was hoping for was to see some photos of the areas with markers. Die stages may affect availability, but useful in the diagnostic....
Fun coin!! Clash is strong and if reprocessed, it didn't seem to diminish the contrast of the clash (by much anyway). Looks too clean not to be...
Split serifs are produced when the die maker is putting the mint mark to the die and repositions the punch to create doubling (one mintmark over...
I saw that on the local news tonight as well. Surely thought we might see Paddy on the hunt! ;-) He's not too far away from us.
I agree with Danomite -008.
I took a look at VV's listing for 002. I don't think it's a match. I don't see the secondary MM extending below the dominant MM. Maybe it's...
It could be that you have a pair of RPMs...maybe at different die states. It's hard trying to take closeups through a loupe. Here's an idea you...
Check your 1944 - might be a minor clip (or just a ding on the rim).
Not sure on that first one. I need a clearer photo. But it might be the same RPM at a different die stage or perhaps took a hit in that general...
1972d1mm003 Die Variety Information - coppercoins.com for the second coin.
Yes...hard to be absolute with the photo you posted. A clearer photo should do the trick. Looks like a DDR though. But let's be sure.
Folks spend money to get things slabbed...only it's not slab-worthy to it's bagged and tagged. Then someone uses that to deceive others and make...
No premium as this is just damage. A split in the copper plate allowed exposure of the substrate to air and moisture. Hydrozyncite set it and...
I'm going to have to revisit my foreign CRH finds to see what I may or may not have.
Looks like yours is a pivot mostly about 8-2 o'clock. Looks like the lower half is mostly unaffected around JUGASLOVIJA (maybe a little...
Nice find!! Eddie - do you have photos of the full coin? Looks like Class IV on your coin.
I got mine for a nickel...during a CRH event. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Play around with taking photos. I see you were trying to take a picture using a loupe. As you probably know, you have to be dead center in the...
I've seen others find this counterstamp before, but I don't think I have. But the Lincoln-Kennedy cents come in various configurations and I've...
Maybe a stiff collar error. What's curious is that it appears mostly retained by the collar but oozed over the top...kind of like finning....
