No expert here, but it looks to me like Machine Doubling (MD), caused by a slight bounce in the die as it strikes. Interesting, but common and...

No! No! Look again and stare a while. It's not just a 5. It is a 15 followed by the Greek letter delta. I think this is a die clash from an...
I know. I was trying to soften it a bit.
What Jersey magic is humorously saying is, please crop the background out of your photos so that the coins appear big enough in our screens that...
I would think it unlikely to find a 16D mercury in P-01 unless the grade were given for damage more than wear. In AG the D is hard to see, and...

You might find one for sale on Etsy or eBay for an outrageous sum, and someone might even pay it who foolishly thought they were getting a rarity....
No expert here, but it looks almost as if it were struck once normally and then again (possibly post mint?) with something not right. I'm mainly...

I'm no expert, but from I see on this post and on its predecessor, you have become more of an expert on this bill than whoever looked at it at...
