I started collecting at 16 (2 years ago give or take a few months), and have pretty much learned the ropes on my own in that time.(I'm the only...
Thanks for the extra pictures, although I agree with Mr. Diamond that it is not a legit double strike. Keep up the hunt!
Coin roll hunting for me is in the mindset of "treasure hunting". You're not often going to get something big, but when you do, it is worthwhile....
It does appear that it was either heavily circulated or spent some time in a dryer. Either way, the effect that you are seeing is not something...
I hate to belabor the point, but here is a thread that depicts a very similar coin. It is a die break. These examples can be tricky, but I have...
Not a lamination, actually. It is a large die break that is well-known for this date. Keep up the hunt!
If it is a legit RPM and you want it, go for it.
Pressure (as in one coin being pressed onto another) would produce an incuse and mirror image of the design, which is not what we are seeing here....
Doesn't look right to me. The shape, missing reverse, mushy details seems fishy...
Looks more like damage than an RPM. Keep up the hunt!
I'm stuck in between, so I went ahead and guessed AU-50.
66, although that spot worries me.
Yep, that looks like a nice large cud. Keep up the hunt!
I'm seeing a few scratches here and there but bot really anything that would make me think the coin is a doubled die. Keep up the hunt!
Both coins appear damaged. I think I see some remnants of the 1 in 1951. There is a slight chance that it is a struck through grease, but in it's...
Just looks like damage to me. Keep up the hunt!
Sucky pictures of a 1994 set someone gave me as a present some years ago. :smile [IMG] [IMG]
If doubling appeared on a hub as opposed to a working die, all the dies produced by that hub would also have the doubling. I don't think there are...
Don't know if you are talking to me or the OP...but yes.
They're damn near impossible here in San Francisco...we're pretty much as far west as you can get!:(
