Lamination errors occur when there are impurities in the metal, and they peel. In fact, they occur pretty much solely on copper cents. You will...
Here is a nice strong repunched mintmark variety. You can clearly see the spread to the south. Listed as coppercoins 1951D-1MM-001. Enjoy, and...
Dang it Jeff, I was going to say that! :yes:
Yes, this is a good example of a lamination error. Nice find!

Time traveling leprechauns that give him a pot of gold coins and a dime from the future?

Close doesn't count except for grenades and playing horseshoes. (And close AM varieties) :smile I have been lucky enough to have 1 discovery...
My initial thought would be a die chip or die gouge in the date.
The pictures are good. Unfortunately, after comparing the mintmark location of your coin to that of 1DR-001, I can confidently say that yours is...
Yep. In order for it to be considered a CAM, the bases of the A and M must be touching. Compare it to the reverse of a 1993 cent and you will...
I would agree that one side was sanded/ground down, but as noted weight would tell us for sure. The only way something like this could happen in...
The scope came with internal lighting. Technically it's a scope designed for use in a science classroom, but it works fine for coins. Sure beats...
I have a Nasco binocular scope, and use that with a combination of built-in lighting and an external lamp. Then I simply shoot a photo through the...
