I'm a have. I have managed to acquire one gold coin in my collecting career. One entry for me.
Congratulations Ed and thanks for your contributions to the hobby.
That is the only photo I have of this coin. I may have others with full shots. And, I may be able to re-shoot it.
I have found quite a few. Some are more pronounced than others. Here is a 1947 S Wheat as an example. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Actually, it is a mechanical process that happens at the mint. And, if you have a mint roll, it is likely that they were struck from the same...
I would send it back and get a replacement. Why pay for a proof and not get at least a good example?
Can you see the upside down outline of the obverse profile of Lincoln on the reverse? Not necessarily valuable, but fun to find and collect.
It appears that you have an indirect design transfer on the reverse. Look that up and learn another interesting variation.
A couple of mine: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It is fun to pass the hobby on. I have a couple of great grandkids that are interested. I send then some coins occasionally.
Marbles and Shinny were the games we played. And, I learned math in my head. But, back then it was called Arithmetic.
Congratulations. I have only found one, but, that is all I'm interested in.
I'm sure glad I never got hooked on the hard stuff (slabs). My collection is centered around working class coins.
Here is a 1930 that I found. It had been whizzed. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Is this a contest to guess how many you wanted? Let us know how you came out with them.
I agree whizzed.
Just get a few rolls of nickels. There will most likely be one in there.
Looked at 10 rolls of nickels today: 1939 P 1940 P 1943 S My Birth Year 1947 P My wife's Birth Year 1959 D in AU Good little batch.
Here are two Probus Quadriga with very thick silver on both. Both of these I got from lots of uncleaned. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
