Under increasingly heavier use, details and devices will change. The outer devices are most susceptible and will migrate toward the rim. Many...
I think it is just dead-dead…or super dead
Damaged. Welcome to CT!
How did you come by that?
Nice coins folks! This is a fun one, too!! [ATTACH]
Just a thought: the dies start out as convex rods. It would be hard to believe that once the working die was made that any aspect of that would...
Good point. I read right through it. Doubling will 'evolve' only to the extent that the die evolves...or devolves. Of course, the variety sites...
Hi Eric - not a DDR. Have a look at the dots in EPU. They are not elongated. As such, not a DDR. A slightly more focused photo would bear that...
I found a 1975 Proof Jefferson in 2015. No telling how long it was in circulation but there were spots that still where shiny around devices....

And the 1941 has a nice reverse cameo effect. That would be a nice addition to an environmental set as with the 1955.
Great shot at finding a decent variety or error coin in that lot.
Also at MS-66. Looks like a solid strike and absent the obverse carbon spot, I think it might grade higher.
Fun find! Good to see you posting again.
Thanks Larry - I hadn't known that regarding the taping of all seams. I guess I'm lucky that I never had to make a claim. I'll know better going...
My rule of thumb is to go from least/no impact to strongest solvents. I read here somewhere that Dawn could adversely affect copper coins and...
