The clashes on that link are nothing like what is shown here on the bridge of the nose. I think I'll just wait for a possible explanation from...
I was trying to locate some rolls for some of the kids on the west coast, but I gave up. I hate pennies, anyway! Chris
Yes, you can have both MD and DDD on the same coin. Correct! You don't need to find the orange peel effect to have DDD. If you look back on the...
Unless the rolls or bags that you buy were issued the year of the release, never opened and never put into circulation, you're not going to find...
Your 2009 quarter is worth 25c. The problem is that too many people think tiny die breaks like what you have should be worth something. That is...
Of course, you can as long as you give credit where credit is due. http://www.coinbidders.com/Strike%20Doubling%20Flyer%20-%20PDF.pdf Chris

I don't think so. The bridge of the nose has been nearly obliterated. A clash wouldn't do that. Chris
State Quarter! As a rule, I would submit a minimum of 50 business strikes at a time. Those that came back MS68 would routinely sell for $150...
Even if it came back MS65 (which it won't), it still wouldn't be worth the cost of grading. Heck, I routinely gave away SQ's that graded MS67 to...
No! Chris
I guess that the easiest way to explain high relief is to show you an example that has, both, normal and high relief on the same specimen. In this...
First, welcome to the neighborhood, Crystal! Have I ever seen a dime like this one? Of course! They've been in continuous production since 1946....
Most of what I see appears to be the result of a grease-filled die, but there is evidence of a clash along Kennedy's lip & chin from the tips of...
You should have posted your feedback to include......."delivery came fast in a condom box" Chris
If I recall, the Mint eventually admitted that they began experimenting with different rinses to solve the problem. They finally succeeded. Chris
