Can't go wrong with my first Bust Half. My favorite for now...will probably be replaced by a new favorite in the near future. [IMG]
The OP hasn't been on for a year it looks like...I wouldn't expect a reply any time soon.
The coin took some circulation hits that flattened parts of the date. It is damage. Keep up the hunt!
That is a plating issue...post 1982, the composition of the cent was switched to 97.5% zinc with a 2.5% copper plating. The plating on a coin may...
The known "rare" close AMs are 1992P and 1992D. Both can easily sell in the thousands. There are also a few proof close AM varieties in the late...
Sorry, I'm not seeing a DDR in either. Keep up the hunt!
1963 cents don't have the wide-am close-am varieties. Those are limited to specific dates in the 1990s. 1963 used the RDV-001 design. Close-AM...
That is called a type II planchet...it is basically a cent that was not struck. It is a cool find, but not particularly rare. There are many on...
Hi folks. :smile Picked this coin up recently, it's my nicest IHC so far (I don't collect them, but I just wanted a nice higher-grade coin for my...
The one on the right has been circulated, the one on the left, less so. You'll find coins of different quality and grade in your searches. So to...
Welcome! Judging from the die scratches, I would guess that this is the result of an abraded die. There may have been something on the die that...
I can't even tell what I'm looking at in that last picture. It is even more evidence of die deterioration or mechanical doubling if it is on both...
I see neither of what you mentioned. What I DO see is flat and shelf-like doubling on the whole obverse as well as in some parts on the...
I'm not by any means an expert on Jeffersons...but the first picture (where you drew attention to the G of GOD) is die deterioration doubling,...
Very interesting laminations. They almost look like partial split planchets (if there is such an error). Keep up the hunt!
Awesome pics, Jody. What's your setup? Do you shoot through the lens of a scope like I do or do you have a "fancier" setup?:p
Cent: some Indian head from the 1890's. I don't search other denominations.
I can't quite tell you because that would ruin the trick. ;) As an amateur magician, I have had this trick. It often goes by the name "scotch and...
Nice find, RPM-001 it is. An S/S. great condition, too. Keep up the hunt!
I agree, collar clash. Nice find! Keep up the hunt!
