While you do have a point, some collectors aren't always concerned about how much a particular coin will be worth. To some of us, finding out what...
I completely agree that it was out of line for me and the other member to engage in this conversation here in the manner that we did, and I never...
Very interesting to hear Mike's opinion on this. The fact that it appears on more than 1 die pair is interesting as well. Maybe it was an issue...
Pretty bad fake, feel bad for the people bidding...people should do their research before wildly bidding on coins. I'll report it as well.
Jay to me it looks more like a hit the the bottom serif, but I admittedly do not know as much about quarter varieties as I do about cents.
I had first tried to avoid this by making post 21, but on your insistence to "taking a crack at the actual issue", made post 23. I think that we...
Well, I don't really see any fault in my logic. An inconsistency during the striking process produces errors. If you are suggesting that this is...
I don't really follow. Mechanical doubling is an error...and what you see above is mechanical doubling. The die probably did not produce MD...
I don't quite think this is the appropriate thread to discuss such matters (if you would like to start your own that is fine), but I'll give it my...
Ah, finally. Recognition! :) There will always be a difference of opinion, and I respect that. I am not looking to change yours. I think one...
While it is true that often if an anomaly can be traced to a specific die then the anomaly is on the die, this is a case where a die has produced...
We're all about education here. :) Sometimes we learn best when we think we are nearly 100% sure it is something, and it turns out to be something...
Rascal is right...this isn't a subject you immediately learn overnight. It took me months and months of searching to actually find my first...
I posted a good tutorial on telling the different kinds of doubling that you can see here:...
It's not really a fake...the "appearance" the member is referring to could be due to a large number of circumstances other than a counterfeit...
Did you seriously just edit his photo to make it look like a doubled die, and then tell him to go sell it on ebay? I guess I kind of get the humor...
It certainly is tough to tell with the photos, but generally when you see MD as strong as it is on the face, I would bet that it is on the date,...
The 1943 looks like possible die deterioration, which is a common form of doubling and generally not worth a premium. The thing about errors is...
Bummer...sorry it wasn't something more exciting. Oh well, a good learning experience.
Looks like mechanical doubling (MD) to me. Keep up the hunt!
