@paddyman98. Is this anything to do with a late stage capped die? I have had very little experience in that area. The reverse had a harshly done...
This should be on Etsey. Detriot?
Bury it on Coney Island and @paddyman98 can excavate it in the spring.
I'll second that, a die chip.
Does not look like s/d variety, just a normal Buff. Not missing a leg or feather either. I see no doubling.
I'm not seeing the spread on the lettering either so far.
I would be really excited to get a solid date box of P's because I know Philly's track record for quality control. It's great you got a solid date...
Would that have been around the time of the Crusades?:D:D:D
What you see may not always appear to line up correctly. It depends on how severe the clash was, if some of it may have been polished out when...
@Joy Matherne According to the above grade given, my Numismatic News guide says $10.00. But I'm sure someone will debate that.
@GSDykes I would call your quarter machine doubling as opposed to abrasion doubling. The tapering is not there which would suggest some sort of...
@Trisia As Shrews said. Late die stage deterioration. Note the thinner letters and outward bound striations in the fields. On this Philly coin, if...
@Jim Dale Happy Birthday. I've only been to N.C. once to the Outer Banks but loved that vacation. I was there during the Hatteras move which was...
I don't want to stick my neck out too far on error vs. variety as these two terms seem to be used differently by different people even though...
Thanks for weighing in & hope I'm not a bother by mentioning you here. I have hundreds of RPM's but have never found the time to get after them....
A later stage coin with the chips and die cracks, not sure of which RPM. @Nolan Workman ?
Both the 1982 P & D are desirable coins in higher grades. The 1982 D lists in my current Numismatic News price guide, and it's only a guide, at...
If you or someone you know has access to a caliper, try measuring the diameter that way.
@bruthajoe Die chips and cracks are not varieties, just the result of a worn and failing die. Overuse, poor maintenance and poor quality control.
I used to think the missing letters were a result of grease also, but someone, maybe @Fred Weinberg or @Pete Apple explained a weak strike...
Separate names with a comma.
