I think doubledieking should hit the books, as he has a lot more studying and reading to do...
That's not it. For one thing, the mintmark does not look like it's in the same position for die 1. Secondly, I see no evidence of doubling.
There is no metal displacement "theory", because it is a fact. How about YOU explain exactly how it happened at the mint. I will stand by the...
I agree with Jodymon this one.
Nice coin! Those are linear plating blisters on the let side, not die cracks BTW. :smile
I guess my Civil War Token falls into this category...:thumb: [IMG]
Hi folks. :smile Not many finds here on the west coast lately. Opened up a roll I had been saving for a while. Nothing notable except for this...
What is the date and mintmark of the coin?
Look again...that's just the effect of the magnifying glass.;) It has one large lens, with a smaller lens in it.
You don't have to buy it. However, you asked for an opinion and I gave one. Can you fully explain how it happened at the mint? If not, then how...
I know what a die crack is. But have you ever seen a crack in the sidewalk? It isn't a line like this. It is erratic, zig-zaggy, and generally thin.

Definitely not a die crack. Die cracks are erratic...this is not. That being said, I'm not sure what it is. It could be damage, or it could be a...
Here's a 1964 proof. A pain to photograph...maybe I'll just stick to cents. :devil: [IMG]
Continuing with the nickels...here's a 1964 proof. A pain to photograph...maybe I'll just stick to cents. :devil: [IMG]
Something scraped or hit the coin in that area at some point after it was struck. it is not a mint error. The hit was strong enough to displace...
Damaged. The coin took a few hits. The fact that there is metal displacement is evidence of this. Keep up the hunt!

Doubled dies have what we call "notching" on the letters, usually at the corners that indicate separation. Doubled dies also "add" to the coin...
I think it's either a minor lam or coincidental damage. Here is an extra bar DDO I found some time ago... [IMG] Keep up the hunt!
Separate names with a comma.
