Capped Bust Halves sometimes have a strike doubled profile like this (although yours is far more severe than anything else I have seen). These...
Sorry for my somewhat abrupt reply earlier. Lehigh is indeed correct, his knowledge on toning is superb. There are a number of things that...
Alright, good guesses guys! This coin is graded MS-65 by ANACS, without full bell lines. This grade is very accurate in my opinion. The lines in...
If you see the same effect on the date, it is not an RPM. An RPM means it was handpunched twice in a slightly different location - and would not...

Hey T$, haven't seen you around the past couple of weeks.

Sure thing! This is a closeup of the primary area of concern, for far more information, see my registry entry here: 1955 Bugs Bunny NGC MS-64FBL...
You can see my new post on MAD coins here: http://www.cointalk.com/t71781/ Feel free to save the link and refer to it whenever someone has a...
