I'm not seeing anything in the pictures provided.
Thank you for the comment. As I have said before, I really recommend buying a scope for searching. Although not as portable as a loupe, it is far...
Hi all. Doing another variety of the day. This one is a rotated RPM listed as 1945D-1MM-015 on coppercoins.com, and shows split upper and lower...
Normal coin, with a little damage and some stains.
Yes, that is the doubled ear. Nice find!
I see split upper and lower serifs, so it is an RPM, but I believe the other anomaly is simply die damage. Keep up the hunt!
I agree with everything MS70 said. It is a nice late stage struck-thru die cap, but only worth $20-30. If you still want to slab it, ANACS would...
I have my doubts about this one, but hopefully weighing it will give us the answer.

Yep, a classic case of machine doubling, very common to see on 1972 reverses. :) Keep up the hunt!
Nice RPM! Too bad about the damage on the date, though...
I guess I would vote for the quarter. After all, it does have George Washington on it! :)
First Bust Half. :thumb:

Thank you all for your comments! I can't wait for it to arrive. Got it as an early hannukah gift for myself. Wanted to pick out a better grade...
Thank you. It'd be a shame if my first Bust Half turned out to be counterfeit...plus the seller would get a piece of my mind!;)
