Uncentered broadstrike, not off-center. I don't care what ICG says. It isn't off-center because all of the design is still there.
It may actually be a single bisecting crack. The crack comes from the rim through the A to the top of Victoria's head. It also runs from the...
From what I can see....nothing. :)
If it is I'd run away fast. :) The Saints didn't start til 1907.
In order 39-O CBH, 39 N-1 cent, 1839 CBH, 1839 Seated, the other 1839 cent, and last of all the gold piece.
If you check your Redbook (and if you collect US coins your probably should have one) you will find that the 1857 to 1864 coppernickel cents...
It doesn't show real clearly but you can see traces of the crack especially through the E and upper part of the wreath. Doesn't really show...

There may have been some 40 to 50 years ago or more. If you have a coin in a 2X2 that shows PVC contamination it almost certainly was on the coin...
Considering neither of the coins have the design characteristics of the satin proofs I'd say they are worth about $52. Get Whitman's Redbook of...
No not correct. Machine Doubling is created when the die moves during striking. A doubled die happens when the die is made and the doubled image...

Much closer to silver. Silver is 10.5 gm/cc, Lead is 11.35 gm/cc, and gold is 18.88 gm/cc. It says Hong Kong because it was made there. It is...
I have a half cent it's been done to. What would that be good for? Somewhere I have or had a picture of a MS 50% off-center 1854 in a PCGS...
