The 1909P-1DO-002 is notorious for being misidentified, because there are many coins with the same die chip in the B of LIBERTY as well as other...
Thanks folks. Doing my best to educate in anyway I can. Might do a machine doubling vs die deterioration doubling vs actual doubled die tutorial soon.
I was responding to the OP in this case.
It is actually a recessed area on the die caused by scraping of a tool or something else. It is raised on the coin, not the die.
Pearl Harbor isn't on the main island. ;)
That is damage. A gouge is recessed in the die, meaning it would be in relief on the coin. Smething simply scratched your coin, so it would be...
Hi all. Doing a little tutorial on the difference between a misaligned die error and an off-center strike, as the two have a similar appearance...
That's another fact I completely forgot about. I was only going by the lack of damage to the rim, didn't think about the exposing of the zinc.
If the obverse was ground down with a sander or through some other method, I would imagine that there would be damage to the rim as well. Since I...
Looks like a really nice struck-through grease cent to me. $10-20 on a good day on ebay. Keep up the hunt!
I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers, but they definitely don't seem accurate. I'm only well-versed in cents, but this looks like a...
Looks like the coin took a hit or something left a small gash. Damage nonetheless. Keep up the hunt!
Pictures are too pixelated/blurry for me to tell. My gut says damage, but clearer photos may reveal otherwise. Keep up the hunt!
The thing is, and I think this is where there may be a little miscommunication, is that your coin is not an error. Die deterioration is not an...
Some sort of damage, but PMD nonetheless. Keep up the hunt!
Not a rare coin. You have a coin struck by a deteriorated die. I don't kow what you mean by FBMS-65. Please try and educate yourself on errors and...
Tough to tell for me. I am seeing die deterioration on the coin, but I think I also might be seeing splits. Not quite sure...
I honestly don't have the slightest clue if the errors/varieties are there...we would need closer pictures. I wouldn't worry about handling the...
The ear took a hit. For some reason, this is a common place for damage on Lincoln Cents...this coin is not a doubled die. Keep up the hunt!
I don't see it, either, unfortunately. Keep up the hunt!
