That's interesting wish those last two had photos, Maybe you got more zinc on the surface of the coin. It is what they say is the reason for the...
I don't see the polish lines. I see a worn coin, had plenty of circulation. I could change my mind if the new pics are definitive.
PCGS says that @lordmarcovan is copper. I'd imagine that it has different compositions. I will look in the morning.
Thank you Santa! Can't beat silver right? 1878l 50 Centavos, 1917 3 cent, and a 42 Shillings They will fit well in my collection.:happy:[ATTACH]...
Sorry it's not April first. Still a little over four months away.
I have only seen one that would grade at a 66 or better. And I gave it back to a friend that asked me to look thru a jar of coinage he stashed in...
I can see how the fields would radiate luster much different between the fresh dies and old. I just have never been able to see the difference in...
There is nothing that says a die chip can't be smooth, That would be determined by how many coins the die struck after being compromised. Doubled...

I agree with the die chip. It's hard to tell without seeing the whole coin.
Just be careful to dig and plug your holes, so that it looks as if you weren't there. Also check your local area for laws regarding detecting to...
I have always tried to make an X over the detected area so that I know X marks the spot. If the object isn't in the depth range it says. I usually...
It is pretty much impossible to tell the difference between a 68 and a 70 with these. One of my favorite designs though.
The evidence of a weak strike on the high points can be found on coins even in MS67 range. I think this should have at least gotten a 66. Maybe...
Heres one from the coin star reject tray.[ATTACH] star reject tray.
I think it went 66. Although all the heavy die polish lines on the surfaces make me think that it could be an SMS. Like some have said above.
I am not seeing a DDO. I think you are seeing built up areas of lacquer.
I might have to look for one myself. :)
