Looks like it could be a cracked planchet.
Retained cud and die crack are not the same thing. You can't have a retained cud without a die crack, but you can have a die crack without a...
Technically, Yes it is an error. But it is a very minor one. If you actively search your change you will find a lot of them.
Nope not from the same hubs. Your 77 S is from the type II hubs, the OP coin is from the type I hubs (actually it is a hybrid the rev is type i...
And note what I said earlier about the difficulty of getting the alloy precise. That makes it believable that the copper percentage could be high...
And if a coin is an XF-40 or 45 and it is in an AU-50 slab then that's the grade, not 40 or 45. "What the seller or dealer thinks it should grade...

What is the precision of the scale? How many test runs did you do? Where results consistent among other control specimens as compared to the...

Not 1941's you don't.
I don't have MS coins but I have all the business strikes except the 1884. I'm proudest of my 1885 a nice AU business strike. MS mintage 1,000...
It depends on what you collect, believe me my early coppers aren't getting any easier to find or any cheaper. And many of those "B" collectors...
Yep it is an "error", an overpolished die that occurs frequently every year. Search enough sent sand you will find detached head coins pretty...
So do I. Maybe I should sell something on etsy.
Nah, your just getting over the revulsion.
Play money maybe?
On the post with the link click on "Report" and explain what you want done and why (Pleas remove old link, it now leads to a porn site.). That...
It is definitely on a rolled thick planchet. For the scale to read 3.4 grams the coin would have to weigh at LEAST 3.35 grams, and the maximum...
