Good point; that eliminates folded rim finning. A collar cud is unlikely because of the point you make with the pic, so we're left with broken die...
The thread itself is a little redundant, as well. :) Then again, this issue is shaping up to be quite the boondoggle, and a little extra verbiage...
+2. The talons are still quite strong, and no wear seems to yet show on either shield. I'll withhold opinion on the surfaces until your own images...
But the letters aren't taken away. You can see where metal flowed around them. So if die metal is gone - I haven't ruled out folded-over rim...
Ludicrous undergrades, or your images are deceptive. And your images are excellent. :) No wonder they both got Gold Beans. And I still don't like...

The Denver version of the overdate is less obvious, like so: [ATTACH] It's usually easier to tell from the 4 than the 1. The Philadelphia coin...
Incessant variations on decent designs. :) They, like us, had a coin collection to pay for. Where do you think the Smithsonian coin collection...
It's all good; sometimes you have to step a little more carefully online to get across the actual point you're trying to make. It's easier - for...
Well, you described what is considered normal practice across all other forms of retailing as "giving up, throwing in the towel, cowering in the...
So you, as a buyer, would be happy to take the responsibility and walk away if Amazon failed to get you a package? There's no difference.
The completion of that set (around 2012) was just about the last time you could trust that a given lowball actually earned its' wear in...
I'm working with another guy on the forum who's using one of those. Excellent coin camera. Now, about getting the whole coin into the picture.... :)
