For some, the word "family" means nothing when money is involved. The saddest part is that two young kids who had nothing to do with the whole...
Yeah, I had to re-direct my Hubble scope to see it. Chris;););)
Mine is definitely shrinking. I can feel it moving around. Chris
They didn't register with your initial post. FWIW, I don't see any doubling or evidence of a double strike. Chris
I can't tell. The image is too small. Chris
Dang! I knew I should have saved all of those milk bottle lids from the 50's. The thread was from 2006. Greg became a member in 2002. Chris
It even has a Full Horn! Chris
In case anyone would like to read the NGC thread, here it is..........
Thanks for posting the close-up. Yes, it does look like the coin might have been coated with something. There also appears to be a an area that...
FWIW, @Bambam8778 , you're expected to make mistakes if you want to learn. By the way, Jim is grumpier than I am!;););) Chris

Can you post a close-up of the rim at 12:00 on the reverse for me please? It looks sort of silvery right there. Chris
That's good because you would have wasted most of the roll. Chris;)
If there is a gouge on the die, the mark on the coin would be raised. If the mark on the coin is recessed, then it is PMD. Chris
It isn't always necessary to have split serifs apparent for a coin to be a doubled die. If I recall, I merely posted an image for you of split...
No! No! No! No! No! You're not going to get away that easy! I want you to tell us what things you see that aren't supposed to be there, and how...
Are you using 24- or 36-exposure film? Chris
I don't see it either on the PCGS specimen, but note that it does state "Minor Variety". That happens to be one of my pet peeves about the...
Separate names with a comma.
