Exactly, though I hope not.
Ever read the Dilbert Principle??
Actually, this new policy will hold Ebay completely harmless in a transaction involving coin fraud. I think that is the bottom line, here. I...
Thanks, GD, for sharing your insights and for your patience! I think an overstrike is a fine example of what we are discussing, with the...
Your 3c nickel is listed in the Cherry Picker's Guide as FS-004.5 and shows a value of $45 in XF, $160 in MS60 with an estimate of 251 to 500...
Would it be possible to make this a 'STICKY' so that it would always remain at the top of this column? It is a great reference and should readily...
WOW! Nice doubling at the date. I think a lot of the doubling around the bust and lettering is from die fatigue or die deterioration. Also, it...
Wouldn't any doubling created at the beginning or intermediate stages of a strike be obliterated as the strike progresses? Before the strike, the...
Much better photo. Now it looks like a VAM-14 to me.
There are definitely 2 schools of thought on this issue. I tend to go with the assumption that the strike/minting process is finished when...
Looks like a VAM 13 to me, R3. I tweaked your photo a little to help identify. You mentioned VAM-29? My VAM book is from 1976 and only...
OK, so apparently "Strike Doubling", "Ejection Doubling", and "Mechanical Doubling" are all considered to be the same thing according to the...
Cool! Thanks!
Can't see the mintmark, either. I'd almost swear these were doctored photos of a really superb proof quarter and shield nickel. I'd be really...
OK. Die deterioration doubling it is. I knew it was something like that. I assumed "abrasion doubling" because all the doubling seems to be...
I think a "bi-level die crack" sounds pretty good. I guess a sunken die doesn't necessarily need to be cracked, while this name would imply a...
Yes. This is actually a mint error, an imperfect strike. Multiple strikes are supposed to land in exactly the same spot as the previous...
A 1962 proof quarter with strike doubling. OK. So it's not "strike doubling." It's doubling from an offset second strike. The obverse die...
Here is a nice example of a sunken die on the reverse of a 1972D Ike dollar. The area to the right of the crack is actually raised slightly over...
This is a BU 1972S Silver Ike $1 with die cracks that look like a shooting star. Also a DDO.
