You could be right. Tilted, off center strike for sure.
Yeah, I kind of thought I was hitting on something calling them irregularities or perhaps anomalies. Then again I recall discussing this a while...
Interesting thoughts. I mentioned something similar to Eddie in a PM. While to your point (and Eddie’s too) the doubling is not traditional. But...
Eddie - we are so close to the weekend…woossaa! :-) Fair enough, many of these minor and very minor DDOs and DDRs struggle to deserve an...
Tip: when looking for LWC DDRs, a quick look at the dots in EPU you notice that they will look elongated relative to the class of doubling. The...
General comment: when members post specimens for review, I like standard photos of the obverse and reverse. I think that a number of variety...

Good plan. Good luck!!
OK, had a look at Coins and Canada. I think you have the 1953 SF Near. There were 4 varieties for the date, not 2 as I thought. Apparently, the...
Hi potty dollar - some quick pics. Looks like the shoulder strap could be the differentiator when unsure about the leaf position. Have a look -...
Hi Randy - the pane of glass reflects the light so it hits the specimen indirectly. This way it reduces the glare spots on the coin while...
