John, CONECA has a lot of listings for the date on their website, though the only one that shows up in the CPG. I can tell right away from...
Can you get a closeup of the date? Picture too pixelated to tell if it is an RPM. You can also use coppercoins.com and click "die variety search"...
If it keeps cleaning the coin for more than 4 hours, consult your nearest numismatic pharmacist immediately.
When you went to the last page of threads you started, did you click the "find older messages" button? I'm able to go back to threads I started in...
No, but I'd like to hear it. :D
I've got some 1830s and 1820s, though admittedly not much from the 1840s.
John (jester3681) is a great guy to go to if you don't have a PCGS membership fee. He kept me posted on the progress of my coin every step of the...
Beautiful find, don't worry about the details grade. Get it slabbed.
The design was in no way struck over the scratches. Check out the second 0 in the date, the I of IN GOD WE TRUST, and the T of LIBERTY. Those all...
I believe this has to do with die deterioration, and some issues with the hubs for that year...both very common for the mid-60s. Keep up the hunt!
Can you prove that the "cutmark errors" as listed on error-ref.com resemble the coin in the original post? Feeder finger errors have to do with...
Have YOU ever heard of a cutmark error, and if so can you provide an article or a single piece of evidence that such an error exists? See how the...
I have quite a few magicians quarters myself (amateur magician), and it looks pretty close to what I have. Knowing the minting process, it also...
It's a magicians coin as stated. Not sure how it being struck on a nickel planchet would have anything to do with a full obverse and missing reverse.
I think the idea of intentional errors or varieties kind of defeats the purpose...these things are supposed to be mistakes that have somehow...
It has a lot to do with things, Tim. While being in debt may not make you a "bad person", it generally displays a lack of financial responsibility...
Exactly, I'm sure one can walk into a coin shop around their town and ask for an honest appraisal for free...and you know that those guys are...
I believe this is an example of a "flying D", which is actually a die crack and not an RPM.
The ear took a heavy hit. Not a doubled die.
If it is real, it's heavily damaged/cleaned...
