Not sure about Large Date or Small Date but the doubling is strike doubling. (Note how the doubling is flat and shelf-like.)
You would pay less than 1/10th of a cent for a one cent coin?? I would at least pay a full one cent.
Me grumpy?? Never!! (Well, on occasion maybe. But never more than several times a day.)
Right. The edge of the die breaks off and that portion of the coin is unstruck because that part of the die is missing. And it is a cud because -...
I am sure it is just a quarter, possibly plated as stated above.
Probably. I agree that it may be a retained cud but it's hard to tell from the photo. The die may have only been cracked but not yet broken when...
Based on the photo it looks like either a die break, a retained cud or a huge fold-over. (Fold-over may not be the correct term. What I mean is a...
It is a magician's coin. Search the threads here for numerous explanations of how they are made.
No good deed goes unpunished.
I don't know. You could call ANA and ask. I remember being allowed to take photos of the 10 1933 Double Eagles on display at the ANA Worlds Fair...
Perhaps you have never been to a major coin show but security is usually tight, especially at ANA shows. That said ANA recently lost a handfull of...
Huh?
I wish I could go to the ANA show in Chicago. It sounds like it will be a great show. The Smithsonian display would be worth the trip. $1 Billion...
First, coins are struck, not punched. (Dies strike the planchet. Past-tense of strike is struck.) A coin that is struck and stays in the coining...
The scary thing is - - - It is a real photo so there is somebody out there somewhere that looks like that.
Silver spot is $37.71 (at this instant in time). If each silver strike has 0.6 oz of .999 silver let's calculate the value of the silver in each...
Not likely. The planchets for dollar coins are larger than for quarters and would not fit in the collar in the coining chamber. You should weigh...
Oh, my!!! I would absolutely NOT use Nic-A-Date on that coin. Nic-A-Date works on nickels by dissolving the copper in a copper-nickel and leaving...
A photo would certainly help us answer your question.
You owe tax on ALL your income. Sometimes it is up to you to report it. Other times (e.g., using the 1099 form) it is up to others to report it.
