It is mechanical doubling. Notice the flat and shelf-like appearance. A doubled die will have notching at the corners of the letters...this one...
In that case, very nice coin!:D
It always helps when someone puts into words what they are seeing. I'm not seeing any notching, and there ARE some boxes on the reverse, so...
Got this one at a shop in upstate NY while on vacation. [IMG]
Nice, although technically they are cents, not "pennies". ;)
Here's my recent pickup at a coin shop for 50 cents... [IMG]
You'll need to be more specific as to what you see that may be an error...I see some scratches on both sides as well as some general wear.
Picked up quite a few coins while on vacation. First is a seated half dime. [IMG]
The fact that it says "quirky dollar" on the back should tell you plenty.;) It is a fake, although I don't know what it's from. Obviously a...
Purchased myself some verdi-care so I will do the treatment when it arrives. Any new guesses on grade with the new obverse picture, or should I...
Nice clash, Jello! The mint must have done something that worked...they have been quite uncommon from the 1990s onward. There are a few good ones...
Here's what I hope is a better shot of the obverse. All 4 diamonds definitely present. [IMG]
Looking through a loupe, there are definitely 4 diamonds present. They're a bit washed out in the picture, I'll see if I can shoot it again.
Would acetone do anything in this situation, what should I use to remove the verdigris?
You always want to look for the doubling first, not the markers. For example, 1909P-1DO-002 has a die chip in LIBERTY as a marker for the DDO....
The error is not really strong enough to be considered collectable. And also, coins are not stamped, they are struck. Just for future reference....
You need to be more specific in what you see, you can't just box things and expect that we will know what you are talking about. As of right now,...
Both are definitely the more common large date. Keep up the hunt!
The mintmarks were added to the working dies by hand, so you will see the mintmark position vary from coin to coin. It has nothing to do with the...
Looks like mechanical doubling if I am not mistaken. More flat and shelf-like...
