Good golly that's about the most whupped die I've ever seen. :)
One cent whether it's purely split plating or die wear is involved too. These are not value-added errors, they're ugly production variances.
All you need to know is, if you see detail on an otherwise-normal rim, it's postmint. Had the coin moved enough to receive a second strike that...
This is a place where I wonder if I'm just being too ornery about it, which is why I accept all that stuff gracefully. I just can't_stand people...
Well, we can both be right. :) I answer politely, of course, and I'm also quite willing to do Offers for certain coins.
Ha! Never even saw the mint mark. :) That kinda proves it's not Proof. :)
That's ludicrous. Reality decides if a given coin is PL, not PCGS. Of course, it's typical of their arrogance.
Without correct White Balance we can't form any opinions at all about color. I tried playing with these a bit in Gimp, and the WB is out of whack...
I get seriously irritated when people send me offers on coins I didn't do via BIN/Offers. If I wanted "offers" I'd have asked for them.
I couldn't envision a clash hitting only inside the Memorial. If that's the only place where clashing artifacts are noted, I would assume it's due...
Perhaps. I was looking at things other than just the MM when I determined the dies were old.
Those narrow spaces at field level are where the clash is found on this coin. Eminently possible, when you consider it's very likely the rest of...
The seller's description of die deterioration doubling is precise and correct. What's misleading?
That hasn't been possible for the last 3 years or so, until the link above reappeared.
Never had to remove solder from a coin. I've removed it without a trace from a lot of other stuff, though, including metal; it's not difficult....
Hey, @messydesk, are you the guy who snagged the 3F2 I mentioned above at FUN? I was on the floor when it sold and I never saw who bought it.
I don't.
Funny, that's exactly what I'd do with it. An iron to heat it and a solder sucker to scarf it up. And you're not helping your rep any by calling...
That's Morgan Dollar territory, and low enough with circulation attrition that it's reasonable to expect them to become pretty scarce in high...
I'm thinking a hint at the artificial color can be found at the border between but and field on the obverse, especially at the lower feathers and...
Separate names with a comma.
