Tough call on both. When I try to zoom in, the image gets pixelated and I can't quite make out the details of the initials.
It is a popular coin. In the condition you found it, $40-50. Keep up the hunt!
It can protrude from other places as well. If you look at cents from 1983 and 1984, you will commonly see cracks extending from the corners of the...
For the size factor, it may have been placed in between 2 strips of leather and then hit with a hammer to make it larger. As for the color, I...
Do you have the weight of the coin by any chance? Unfortunately I can't think of anything that would cause that appearance aside from PMD...
I would advise you to read up on the minting process, because nothing you described could really happen at the mint. 1) I don't think you can have...
Tick tock, your time to answer my question is running out! My patience, on the other hand, does not run out. I'll be here waiting for an answer. :)
Again, please do not insult the membership. No one is intentionally trying to "bug you". We are just speaking our opinions/facts based on...
I then ask you again, if you are so sure it is not damaged, how it happened at the mint. Disagreements are bound to happen. It is, however, in...
The fact that it may be struck with a deteriorated die is a negligible fact, as it does not impact collectability or value, and is technically not...
Now now, let's not encourage the selling of "supposed" errors on ebay...;)
Then tell us how it was made in the mint. Really, I want to hear how you think it was created.
I don't care much for insults. I am steadfast on trying to help someone learn. Obviously it is not working.
Alright, I'll give you an ultimatum. Your coin is damaged. Not "I think", I KNOW it is. That is the answer. It is NOT an error. Coins can be...
I think you missed the joke, but this thread has gone off-topic anyway. ;) (Partially my fault for the analogy)
Die cracks are erratic, because of the fact that they are cracks. If you look at a cracked sidewalk, would you expect to see one line that is...
Looks like die deterioration doubling in my honest opinion. Keep up the hunt!
I'm sorry to break it to you, but your coin is simply damaged. I have seen similar effects before on coins. Even Mike Diamond (one of the foremost...
I also think they are feeder finger scrapes, which do not command a premium. Definitely not die cracks. But I'm not big on errors. Keep up the hunt!
Slabbing is entirely up to you. I like my coins raw, because personally, my varieties are too minor to be slabbed, and I would be losing money on...
Separate names with a comma.
