It is very unlikely that only one planchet was struck before the error was spotted, if at all. Chris
It depends on your choice of words. I had a die break on the brim of John Muir's hat (2005 CA SQ) that I called Condor Doo Doo. Chris
Nice close-ups @Rick Stachowski ! Better than others I've seen. Chris
Yes, the answer is clear. Most people who call themselves collectors don't know how to grade. As for the OP, his tirade sounds like sour grapes...
I have five of the largest size for my medals that are 63.5mm (4) and 76mm (1), and ten that are used for high relief medals that were struck for...
I don't think those are polishing lines. They are too fine and equally spaced, and that is not what I normally see on Lincoln cents. Chris
What is a book? Without photos, we can't help you. Chris
I considered that, but I don't see any polishing lines. Chris
Grease and debris don't always fill an entire device. I've seen hundreds of examples of a partially filled die. Chris
@Sheila Ruley That's the thing about grease-filled dies. They can appear almost anywhere on a coin. Note that the "IC" is also affected. Chris
@dog_pound Photos would help. Chris
Those greedy SOB's can say whatever they want, but the truth of the matter is that a few months before Mom passed, she said to me in front of her...
Well, I will admit that I have never seen one in hand, but I have seen MANY coins that should be 68's end up getting 67's and a few 68's that were...
Me, too! However, despite the fact that a 70 is supposed to be a perfect coin, you will still find some graders giving a 70 to a coin that should...
I got the tool more than 10 years ago, and it has been a HUGE help not only for clashes but die rotation, too! Chris
The 84-O VAM-6 Top 100 is another that I sold through Shane. It was cool, too! Chris
Scroll down the page about half way for Terry's e-mail address right below the pictures of the tool. http://www.vamworld.com/clashed+dies Chris
Shane aka Kryptonitecomics sold most of my Morgans for me. If I recall correctly, it sold for about $200 in an NGC MS64 slab. Chris
Paddy, if you mean the clash on the eagle's neck, it is from Liberty's hair near the end of her jaw directly above the "88". Do you have Terry...
I had a nice toner that was easy to identify. It was the VAM-4, O/O, Top 100. Chris
