@jackalope128 I think what folks are trying to say is that when identifying a DDO/DDR, the first step is to confirm that you have doubling. As...
Fun find! I've been making change, but I haven't gotten anything to post for awhile now. Glad someone else is finding success in their change!
Looks like a combination of hydrozincite and verdigris. If you are interested, you could mix a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen...
@Chopperhead You need to publish clear pictures of IGWT. Mimic these photos aiming for same size and clarity:...
Two things - I’m not seeing doubling. There are too many nicks and dings in significant areas on the obverse and a finger print and spotting on...
Your coin is a 1968 S, not D. There are two DDOs for this date for business strike coins...very similar as I remember. You would need to give us...
There may be two DDOs for the date/mm (Coppercoins/Wexler) so you can check out the listings to your coin. Given the condition of your specimen,...
Interesting coin...but I'm not experienced with the design to make a firm commitment. I agree that there are a few distracting anomalies with the...
Yes. Hopefully you can get a refund. But it’s not the end of the world. Stings for sure. Lesson learned.
I agree with Chris - own to enjoy and if it appreciates in value...it's a bonus. There are better ways to make investments...but maybe not as...
Our fellow enthusiasts are right. Dryer coin worthy of a trade for another nickel...hopefully a better coin.
Looking at the die markers...I think Wexler's 007 is Variety Vista 004. Check for those markers on your coin. Consider die state as well. It...
Wexler points to variety vista 004. Says it is slightly different.
Take a look at Wexler’s listing for 007. Can you match markers?
Ok. Some MD going on north and west. But it looks like a bar inside the loop. Nothing fits at variety vista. I think it’s a new RPM.
I saw the notch too (which is interesting) and was thinking it might have a hit on the face of the MM. Hard to say for me...just a bit out of...
This is a pretty common look especially amongst the 90s LMCs. Hard to say if it's in the substrate or the plating but I lean towards the zinc....
Wait...you have a lunch break...right? Just kidding!! The community here is ready to help attribute the coin if we can. Don't speed!! LOL
@DatDareNickelGuy Any chance you can post a few better photos? A closeup of the mm perhaps?
PS - the next time you purchase, make sure that they discount you. You may offer that you paid too much on this purchase and perhaps they will...
