To add to this, how do you suppose you are going to build an online presence as a dealer and sell it if you don't have pictures of it? Being able...
Hi folks. Thought I would share this RPM with you all. I first thought it was unlisted, but a friend let me know that indeed it was listed as...
That is incorrect. The incuse and mirrored elements indicate that this coin was tampered with outside of the mint. Someone took 2 cents, put them...
I'd still like to see a picture of it, any way you can. Just hold a decent magnifying glass up to the lens and snap a photo. To be honest, I won't...
I hate to break it to you, but most coin shops don't deal with the tiny world of errors and varieties. There is such a small slice of coin...
I highly doubt your local coin shop guy will know the cause of it. Most dealers don't bother getting into the nitty-gritty world of errors and...
I'm not sure if it is possible for grease to block a part of the design that is in relief on the die...
Looks like a struck through late stage die cap to me. :thumb: Nice find! I personally would say a $20 coin, but who knows what you'll get if you...
Can you try to post pictures please? Would like to see the coin to be certain. Coins can have isolated machine doubling that can sometimes mimic...
Could be the result of die wear, a struck through grease, or circulation damage. Won't be able to give you the exact analysis until we see pics...
The presence of the rim makes me think not PMD, but the lighting in the picture is throwing things off a little bit. Not sure.
It is not a capped die because it does not show the attributes of a die cap. Perhaps you mean struck through die cap, which seems like a more...
It does appear to be a minor cud. Nice find! I would say $7-12. Keep up the hunt!
An off-center strike would show on both sides. If anything, it appears to be a slightly misaligned die. No real premium here unfortunately. Keep...
This is not a DDO. There is no notching present. 1969-1972 had a lot of issues with machine doubling for some reason.
Flat and shelf-like...machine doubling. No added premium. Keep up the hunt!
You say that these kind of errors go on ebay for quite a bit? Could you link to some of those auctions? Since this appears to be post-mint damage,...
No, that is a clash. A struck through occurs when debris becomes stuck in the die and prevents a full striking of the design.
Guess that settles it. Don't worry, they're out there. Keep up the hunt!
Could possibly be a partial struck-through grease as well. Keep up the hunt!
