Excellent progress FF02!! It takes me a couple weeks to go through a box as I dive down a little deeper, but I've scaled back. I did find a...
By appearances, this looks like a plated 1944 cent. Weighing it will go a long way to verifying that it is a fake. A copper cent with plating...
Yes...no doubling here. A little wobble perhaps and some MD, but a common cent. That's significant volume to be pouring through. I suspect...
For that year, you will find dozens with that condition.
Collecting Nut triggered a thought: If you do a little research, you can determine if you have an exception. For instance, if you think you have...

Indeed.
I’ve observed the same. When building a Jefferson set, finding AU coins before 1960 occurs with regularity. But it took very long to build AU...
Well, not an expensive mistake and certainly something you learned from. I know I tossed back keepers because I hadn’t learned enough yet. I...
To get a feel started for detecting a doubled die, look on the reverse side of 2000-2008 LMCs. Look around the seated Lincoln in the Memorial and...
Separate names with a comma.
