The dime is by far the best and should be made permanent. First design from the mint to impress me for quite some time. The quarters are mostly...
Coin in OP is definitely fake.
It depends. Inanimate objects that don't have their own left and right are described from the viewer's point of view (e.g., left wreath, right...
The fingerprinted coin is about as unattractive as they could have made it. Somehow, it's banged up in addition to the fingerprints. We have chain...

If I remember and get a chance, tonight I'll post the picture of the date I took for the label. The toning makes it hard to see all the...
There are five and they're being auctioned, not released into circulation.
It's going to get huge money, as it's a historic piece. $1M or more wouldn't surprise me. The Omega privy mark was in the die. It was officially...
I'm continuing my tradition of offering nice wall calendars with some photos I've taken over the years. I've been making these since 2009. Heavy...
I got taken by surprise by sales tax on a Woods halfpenny or farthing purchased from Stack's not long ago. Not officially a coin, so subject to...

It takes several hubbings to complete a die, so a design element smashed by a slightly different design will only be partially smashed. Your...
I guess it's fortunate for the sake of the cool name that it seems to be the less common of the 1909 proofs. It'd be much harder to get someone...
Follow-up on the 1909 nickels. I contacted John Dannreuther, showed him this thread, and told him about what looks like the design hub doubled...
Remember that the rules for appearance of doubled dies on incuse design elements is reversed from what it is for raised design elements. The...
Kind of glad I started playing with this thread. I've just added the proof with what I'm calling design hub doubling to my want list. It'll make...
The thing that got me started with design hub doubling is actually the I in LIBERTY, specifically the slant of the bottom edge of the base. The...
Yes. It takes several hubbings to create a working die, which is how we can get design hub doubling. An unfinished 1908 obverse die could only be...
