Is the doubling on the bottom of the front of the shafts?
Anything to boost those sagging Mint & Proof set sales. Album makers will be going nuts.
Counter stamped for an unknown reason by an unknown person and has wrecked it for any collecting purpose except for it's silver content.
@GH#75 The I is damaged as said above. The mint mark placement can be in any number of positions, as they were hand punched into the dies. So, not...
Nice find, nice pics.
What scares me is all those WMDO doubled dies out there that everyone is going to ask about. They are going to be worth less than all those 1955...
Sounds like something hokey going on. The bank has a key and the renter has a key. Plus there is a written record each time someone goes into the...

Nice chip. I have found this to be more common on this coin than without. I ordered two bags of 100 of these from the Mint and ended up with over...
The die cracks you cannot match may be another die stage not yet reported. Perhaps send to Wexler.
Keto diet. But seriously, although there is a bit of loss near the neck due to some die polishing, the real difference was a design change. Not...

I'm at 64. Weak obverse details, nicks and reverse die was worked on, ie, die polishing marks.
Seconded on interior die break. Die crack on the left base also. A lot of die polishing on the reverse indicates a very worn die that a tech was...
Die chips from 1968-74 were rampant on these.
