Most of what I'm seeing is likely to be undertype of the same die as the Final strike or a double or multiple strike, though some of the lettering...
I'm sorry I felt compelled to respond to this garbage. I will cease and hope "It" does as well.
I do not have to respect sin, just because I respect and love the sinners. Sin away. It's not my judgment you have to be concerned about. What I...
In photographing and verifying the variety of my Early Date Large Cent collection, I've just found 4 out of the last 6 low grade examples to have...
It has devolved to this, "Only EVIL Organizations need apply for commemoration on our coins." This should please YOU, but it makes me sick to my...
I hate to admit it, but I'd trade it straight up for the one I purchased for $250. Mine might be half a grade higher technically, but would not...
VAMs are like many other variety collections. If you can get the varieties BEFORE they become popular, they are MUCH LESS expensive than AFTER...
I turn the flash off when photographing coins, but the right lighting still eludes me. I imagine someday getting the same equipment used to...
It's a bit more than I would pay for an R1, but I love seeing them increase in value over the $165 in Redbook. The Late Die State does increase...
How does the microscope handle an opaque item which needs lighting from above? This has always been my reason for not considering microscopes...

On a Large Cent, I would call it an incusion. It's usually a little sharper. That was caused by the pressing of the obverse and reverse dies...
Nice 1826 N-5.
As always, it depends on the desirability of the die variety.
Well, it's not the 1798 NC-3 I was hoping for. It turned out to be the S-167 E-MDS which was suggested by Mark and Cerdsalicious. The Leaf at T...
Look just left of the 1 and you will see part of your answer. The die broke and has sunk in the date area preserving it's detail while the rest of...
I understand expansion in the heat, but that's a good 10 % larger. Can fire cause that much expansion and why would it stay that large after it...
I would probably share your enthusiasm if there were a few more around. There has been an increase in dealers stocking a few colonials since I...
I can't imagine how the Mint could produce this. The proportionally larger images of both sides of the coin eliminate a wrong planchet strike and...
The more I look at this, the more interesting it becomes. It appears to have been flipped with the obverse and reverse multiple strikes occurring...
Separate names with a comma.
