If the design is incused into the coin rim - it would be raised on the collar. Therefore when the coin is struck the metal would flow around the...
Seems to me a segmented collar would be required whether incused or raised if the design detail was was carried by the collar and transferred to...
The die alignment is also rotated. Is this a typical die alignment for any of the 1916-D Mercury die pairings?
Out of the box thought - could be so the owner could identify/describe it if ever lost or stolen.
I am going to disagree - it is probably now worth a couple of hundred if it is authenticated to this specific episode of Mythbusters.
Attribution of S-71 looks correct but still not on board 100% as to genuine. Many of the design devices just aren't full enough. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Yes - especially with all those chops clouding the design. I meant the coin could easily be verified as the actual/authentic piece slab by PCGS.
I like the coin - it bears some really nice well formed chop marks - a little pricey though - IMO. Should be easy to verify authenticity @ PGCS.

Grease filled dies are created at the Mint and are not considered PMD. My point is a "broken "R"" characteristic would have to originate from a...
With all due respect, I find the broken "R" to be a dubious die marker. On a die the coin design is represented by the void left in the die. It is...
