Regarding the process for creating uniface coins, it is as suggested above. 2 planchets are in place when the press cycles. One coin emerges...
Those confirm for me that the coin was altered by some one. The lines in the surface appear to travel in the same direction like sandpapered to...
I think we can see some witness marks on the reverse which suggests mechanical removal. A closeup would confirm it (closer but not unnecessarily...
@Motherofallcoins555 I came across this in a drawer...illustrates the idea. That's a 1988 LMC Zincoln taped to the stick. And a spent AAA...
Looking at your one-sided coin, it does look like it was ground. But it's a distant shot, so a closer photo would have helped. But as noted,...
Especially for this date, it's very common. You can still find uncirculated specimens in circulation, dumped by their previous owner/collector to...
Ehhh...as you've seen, I'm pretty patient with folks. Funny thing is that in the midst of this pandemic, I find that I'm extremely patient in the...
This is the DDR for this date http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/diestate.php?date=1994&die_id=1994p1dr018&die_state=eds where the outer...
I can't make anything out of that last digit. Could be an 8 or a 9. No telling.
Next step, see what folks have paid for similar coins on eBay Coins. Make sure you use the filters on the left margin and select Completed sales...
Use the PCGS Photograde to establish what you think a grade may be for a given coin. Then post here in the appropriate forum. Your fellow...
Here's a quick link to demonstrate CNC milling/engraving that shows you how the material may have been removed. [MEDIA] Once removed, using a...
I suppose it depends on where they attribute the damage; mint vs circulation. Given the rest of the coin, it doesn't look circulated, so I'm...
That's the 'jelly' side.
I think @l.cutler offers the most straightforward way to be able to disqualify your coin as a minting error. Nothing about the planchet, the...
One of our fellow enthusiasts said something interesting about 1974 LMCs. Of course the Large and Small dates, but there is also a RDV design...
Don't worry Chris. Something that obvious would have probably been detected. I have faith in you.
It is an interesting question, though, in that how can an individual establish an uncirculated business strike for circulation from an impaired...
Perhaps the result of a board machinist.
Looks like DDD for one and MD for the other. Given the dates, your best bet is to find a DDR by examining the leaves by the torch.
Separate names with a comma.
