That is a nice example of a BIE error, which is a die chip. Basically, a part of the die (in that area) fell out an created a cavity, so when the...
Die chips are relatively common occurrences...the "extra claw" is a well known one. I wouldn't pay a premium for it but that doesn't mean someone...
Funny how avatars can make people think differently about you. ;) I had someone PM me the other day about my old avatar...they thought I was a...
Definitely damaged. The lack of rims is one of the first indicators. Likely sanded down or something similar. Keep up the hunt!
I was thinking about that as well, but the dead-on angle for the picture is playing tricks on my eyes. I can't tell if the rim extends...
I am thinking severe grease-filled die as well. Keep up the hunt!
Now I think iI see it...had to search for a nickel and compare the rims for myself.
I'm not the best grader so I may be wrong, but I was going by the lines in the wheat stalks on the reverse. VF-25 should have stronger lines in my...
Nice acquisitions, clutch. I'd call the 1922-D an F15 to VF-20. I have one myself in about F12. Keep up the hunt!
Looks like normal rims to me and a heavily deteriorated die. Maybe I'm missing something. Let's see what other people have to say.
I don't know where you are seeing a broadstrike. I certainly don't see one...
If it is a 1972, it could be the master die doubling, which was present on about 60% of the coins. Here is a link....
Looks like an extremely worn die. Not a doubled die. Keep up the hunt!
I'm not seeing a doubled die. What's the date of the coin? Early 1970s?
I think this one could be worth more than one cent, judging by how part of the reverse also shows a nice struck-thru grease. Keep up the hunt!
It is machine doubling. Notice how the doubling is flat and shelf-like. Keep up the hunt! P.S. the correct term is doubled die.
Just a few things to correct in this statement. Blanks are not cut from the sheet metal. They are punched. They aren't rolled, they go through an...
Yep, this looks like a good example of the modern "poor man's doubled die). Just die deterioration doubling as noted. Too bad people sell these on...
Mailman was nice enough to drop this off today. Oldest US coin in my collection, now. :thumb: [IMG] [IMG]
I think you've got a winner as well. I sold one in a similar condition for about $10 if I remember correctly. Keep up the hunt!
