I don't think it is a defective planchet, and it came from Turkey.
Yes it is made of steel. In 1943 the government made around a billion cents at the three mints out of zinc plated steel. Depending on the...
A size reference would help to since they often didn't have denominations on them and the only way to tell what the denomination is is by size or...
That program has only been around for a couple of years I believe. Frankly I think it great and more YN's should go for it. The ANA also has a...
That can be a problem with one variety dates. The attributing process can run like this "Well it's an 1804 so it has to be an S-266." Instead of...
Definitely S-82. It would be an upgrade for mine, but I just dropped a bundle on Conder tokens today in the DNW sale.
Die chip. The little spike that makes the opening in the center of the mintmark has broken off leaving the D as just a lump.
Wonder if NGC would pay you more under their guarantee than you would get returning it?
At the bottom of your post there is a picture of a pencil and it says Edit Post. Click that and it will take you to the edit screen. Make your...
Yes that is glue. I'm not. Most dealers haven't got a clue about errors and can easily be fool by something out of the ordinary. Many dealers...
The 1804 cent shown above is a fake. The reverse die is NOT the one used in 1804. The reverse shown for that coin was used on the 1803 S-260 and...
Can you send it back? It's a fake. On the 1804 the gap between the terminal leaves of the wreath is between the center of the E and the serif....
Actually you treat it like a company, the coin stays in a bank vault somewhere and each person gets a digital image and a "stock certificate"...
It wouldn't be Machine doubling with a ninety degree rotation between images. And there are no doubled dies with anywhere close to that kind of...
Thanks for the Heritage listing, I've been wanting to find that list a serial numbers for some time.
I hadn't posted that earlier but that was the explanation, his affair with her, that I was told back when Larry was first put on leave. I was...
Pictures first. One question though, on the second impression is it raised or incuse, and is the lettering reversed?
Makes it sound larger. (Makes the uninitiated think "the larger it is the more silver there is!")
At one time, long ago I saw a list of the serial numbers of the notes in the Lindbergh baby ransom. Now at least some of that money WAS spent....
DDO = Doubled Die, Obverse And as far as that 1953 proof cent, I'm not seeing it. DDR = Doubled Die Reverse
