This is just another one of those crappy Zincolns! Whoever it was that came up with the idea for this composition should be drawn & quartered. Chris
I had one Morgan that had what looked like a Project Mercury space capsule on her cheek. I think I still have the image. Chris
I think you may have something there! Chris
Don't worry about picking on me. It gives me something to do. You shouldn't have said "the first thing" if I have to look that hard. I can't...
It doesn't necessarily mean that it is unimportant. You have to realize that a strikethrough is a one-time occurrence, and there won't be other...
The third thing I noticed is that I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Chris
The second thing that I noticed is that you should have rotated the image 90 degrees CW. Chris

IMHO, it's a giveaway! Chris
When was the last time that you saw a grader use a stereomicroscope at his job? Chris
I agree, but the problem is how can one determine if a slight pinprick in (say) the cameo was caused by the Mint or not. That being the case,...
The preferable descriptive would be "fugly", but if you use that stinkin' yellow one more time, I will come looking for you! Chris:woot::woot::woot:
Do you see all those parallel striations pointing toward the rim? Those are the result of die deterioration and the subsequent doubling. Chris
You need to learn how to grade for yourself. If you have the coin in hand, it's not hard to tell if it is a 70. A 70 has absolutely no marks on...
A clerk doesn't have to know anything about numismatics. All they need to know is that it has "ONE DOLLAR" and a date on it. Granted, there are...
Classic example of machine doubling. Chris
Separate names with a comma.
