Here is another of the 74D. It is unfortunate that these had been abraded they aren't as neat to look at as the un abraded die state....
Do you have all the early volumes of CPG? I know that some of the FS references are left out as they are not likely to be found.
This damage did not happen at the mint, It is altered whether you want to believe it or not.
No, I think you did fine with attributing it.
Was it the nickels and dimes that were NIFC that year?
The 6th edition doesn't even have it. It is on Variety Vista.
I am leaning towards staple scratch. Although the photos aren't clear enough to be sure.
And that's all it takes to start a bidding war. It is a beautiful piece.
The wheat and 72's aer pretty much spenders in that condition.
Isn't that perty. With the gold where it is right now. I see a light price on that coin. If it goes moon price I will be surprised....
Try one at a time, nd post full size photos. :)
It's not 81. This is a form of die deterioration.
Fun find Sic, Welcome to CT.
When the doubling is on both sides of the devices it is a form of die deterioration called abrasion doubling. Holy pictures Batman!
How about a good clear photo of each side?
I would also like to see a photo.
Those are some cool die chips. Also the result of a worn die.
How many FOG's have you refused to pick up @paddyman98 ?
The low mintage and that they were NIFC. Problem is there are many rolls still being hoarded.
Yep die deterioration.
