Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are established markers. But the general appearance is there...perhaps affected by a hit and/or stage...
Yes...that 1913 would make for a fine addition to your collection...like the 1882. I agree with your assessment. Timing on building this series...
Keep in mind that many National Parks have hand presses to distort a cent to make your own souvenir. Under some conditions, it's quite easy to...
On this angle, I can see some machine damage on the outer edges of the devices. When the die wobbles a tiny bit, only thousandths of an inch, it...
What I see here are contact marks, probably from being in a bag with thousands of other cents. The L looks like a dull hit mark where as a...
Furry is probably right, especially for starting out on the Variety coin hunt. Too much magnification is worse than too little I suppose. Under...
I think that you can post photos in a conversation. I don't recall though if I've done that. I'll send you a message to see if it works.
It is challenging at the start, but in a couple of months, you'll be in a much better position. Wexler's site is a really helpful site regarding...
A couple of thoughts. Regarding acetone, I often use it to stabilize a coin that may have been handled with oily fingers. High grade...

A nice old thread. I appreciate those pictures of true doubling. I've noticed that at the Canada and Coins site, there are many examples of MD...
Looking at Variety Vista, I don't see anything that matches. The pictures are a bit out of focus and there is some glare dancing about. The I in...
Marginally better, but because they are distance shots, it creates a better image of the coin. I do not see the dot on your coin. It was worth...
Katnip I think. :cat:
The down side...you may get bored at some point if nothing pops up. I kept a box of 2014s for way too long. Nothing in that box but about 4...
The fellow enthusiasts nailed this for you. Billions of 1964/1964D nickels produced into 1967. That nickel might be from a later production and...
It looks like a elongated die chip/break underscoring the B extending from the I. Dies will have typical areas of weakness...pinch points...that...
