The green film on the obverse and green spots on the reverse appear to be some sort of surface contamination.
Hey, at least you read the rules! That's better than most.
I think you might be right. That explains the marks on the reverse above Cent. If it were rolled thin, I would expect the unstruck surfaces to...
Fantastic work! I know you have been posting mostly copper, but have you seen similar issues with Bust Halves? If you could do a thread with...
Can't remember if I've posted this one or not. Jamaica: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I like this one best, based on your pictures, at 66. The mark on the cheek is distracting, in my opinion. If it has great luster, I could see it...

Shoot, I've heard of riding elephants in to battle. But hot dang, if I could ride a lion into battle? I'm having a hard time picturing anything...

Nope, those are both machine doubling. These are not doubled dies.
All of the same date? 2002P? Now that's an obsession! I have found this thread immensely interesting. I had never considered the idea of a...
Yes, if you go to the forum page, at the top there should be a "Watch Forum" link you can press. It's right below the big blue "post a new thread"...
Some awesome coins posted here, y'all. @MeowtheKitty , have you seen this thread? This seems perfect for you!
Your pictures are out of focus. Try again, with better lighting. See if your camera has a "macro" mode, which takes better pictures of closeup...
Not gonna lie, John, I really don't like either of these. The splotchy reverse of the 1820 has significant negative eye appeal, and the spotty,...
I suppose the easy way is just to buy the set pre-assembled:...
Separate names with a comma.
