There are more than eight, they don't tell you everything.
The thing is you DON'T need to pay the $45 -$50 Mint Error fee to get it slabbed and graded. You only have to pay that if you want the error...
A good way to start is to start taking a table at the smaller coin shows and start working the circuit. You can work at buying and selling, build...
No one paid extra for the 2000 P mint roll, the mint did not sell rolls that year, but they did ship out the rolls direct to the banks in the...
You can't draw a straight line across the basses of the ED because the bases of those two letters are at an angle to each other. the best you...
The orientation of the ED to the C in the first strike seems fine to me.
I think Leadfoot has the answer. The first off-center strike had another planchet between this coin and the obverse die. This coin would have...
The coin does get hot during striking but not that hot. From images of the coins being struck you can see that it is not hot enough to cause a...
There is no cud. And that is the C from CENT just east of 6 o;clock. The ED in the wreath are the ED of UNITED. The coin was first struck...
Jello, that seems WAY off topic to me. I don't see how it relates to the topic at all except Jhinton showed one of the topic coins being sold on...

Another easy pick up point is to look at the distance between the F on OF and the eagles wing. On the mule they are close together and on the...
Well for the mintage of the 69 D nickel they would have used something like 270 to 290 obv dies. So about one coin out of every 300 IF the die...
I would think that if the collar was in place chances are probably fairl good the plating will slpit and expose the zinc. If the collar is jammed...
Five times in 26 years. Not too bad. Of course I'm not too thrilled with some of the winners.
Fairly common.
No, definitely not the bottom of an S, the loop is shaped completely different. Much more open and rounded. So chances are good it is a...
That "die crack" is a scratch on the coin. Frankly it looks odd. I would suspect either a contemporary counterfeit, or possibly a heavily worn...
No. A loss that great on the diameter would eliminate most of the reeding from the edge. With that diamet I would strongly suspect a fake.
Than\ks for saving the pics, the auction got pulled before I got here. The 1803 was an obvious fake, not even close.
