From the NGC article:
That is most certainly the case with this 1933-S half dollar, which is not going to economically be worth (professional) conservation....
I'd be tempted to try electrolysis on it. It might be too far gone, but on the other hand, since it's already rather ugly, some careful tinkering...
@paddyman98 beat me to it. Only the 10-cent and higher denominations are considered clad coins. The cents are plated. That coin has normal...
Machine damage from a counting or vending machine.
Here's a Leopold II coin that had an interesting fate during the Great War, a decade after it was struck: (Writeup copied and pasted from one of...
I love Cartwheel coppers. Even worn smooth like that, they're still appealing in the hand. So, 1797 or Great Britain to me, then. We'll...
So, 1679 or Great Britain, then. As it happens, I have a coin that meets both criteria. (Well, except it's technically England instead of Great...
That's still an undated coin! But since it can be pinned to one year, we'll let it slide this time. ;) I love that pattern type and only...
Awesome. And it's a great looking example, regardless.
So it's 1806 or Great Britain next.
Nope, sorry, no "date ranges" in this particular game. We'd be flooded with ancient and medievals if that were the case, and while I love ancient...
I concur. Edit: aha. Late to the party. I had a hard time making much out of Liberty's ear through the plastic, so wasn't prepared to speculate...
Nice! Same grade as mine. Un-blundered 7, I note.
I don't see anything either, despite the fact that those are terrific photos.
This is a pattern that mere mortals (like yours truly) can afford. Low 3-figures instead of 4- or 5-figures.
The one I was thinking of buying when I created this thread fell through. But I finally got one, in higher grade. Bought this PCGS AU53 from...
Thanks. That's a known (and as far as I know, rather common) variety, with that blundered 7 like that. It's not really an overdate, though....
Woodgrain toning makes it tough; also the presence of a hairline or two that I suspect are on the plastic and not the coin. I'll go 63 RB, but 64...
I posted a thread about Feuchtwanger cents in December of 2018. Here's the man himself. (I had imagined him as bearded, for some reason.)...
