I just picked this guy up this afternoon. I don't know much about it but I was attracted to the design. [IMG] [IMG]
I really see it on the "UKE" really cool!!
I think its just an optical illusion... late date mercs have a lot of weird doubling. The bottom of the 4 doesn't show the stair step as the...
It depends on how those marks look in hand... I'd say from the picture i'm leaning more towards not... but we all know how pictures are. Other...
I agree with that... From the picture that thing on the face doesn't look like any die break I've ever seen on an 38... The mark between H and A...
If it doesn't look like the pictures below then unfortunately it is not either of the overdates. 1942/1 [IMG] 1942/1 D [IMG]

Great book... also check out his website www.coppercoins.com
Frank, The reason I thought bezel rather then die deterioration was the fact that the area on the obverse between the stars on the right looks...
Definitely true. I learned about these marks the hard way some time ago... i missed a little spot of it on an 1911 D $2.5. The coin was genuine,...
Sorry I was using old terminology... I have to quit doing that. By body bag, I meant to not go into a no problem holder.
Maybe it wasn't when you found it... but from the marks it definitely spent some time mounted in something at some point in its life. If you look...
