You appear to have an 1809/6 C-5 half cent. The second T was punched in a little high and some times tends to fade at the top in late die states.
In order to answer your question about why the date doesn't show the doubling. Most people, when they think about a double die, think of the 1955...
The date may be 1759, but that is not a representation of what Martha looked like in 1759. She was still a young woman at that time and was...
Actually if you know what to look for attribution is a snap. It is clearly a 1798. Almost all of the 1798 reverses have the gap between the ends...
The weights on your 71 - 2000 are on the low side but they are within tolerance. 11.34 +/- .4 grams Minimum legal weight would be 10.94 grams.
I'd slip Aluminum in there after Iron and I'd reverse Copper and Nickel. Aluminum is actually very reactive but it forms a protective oxide layer...
It all depends on the variety. Take this one I bought three or four years ago. [IMG][IMG] I paid $275 for it. It was the last 1798 I...
Broken date punch not broken die The S-151 appears to be die state VI with the crack through the E in AMERICA and a small rim break at 7:00 on...
I don't like it. They are talking about a minor savings in manufacturing cost, but up to almost a 10% INCREASE in materials cost. Also the way...
Sure there are, and we don't know how many doubled dies they do catch before they ever get to the coinage press. Now consider that most years...
I like the obverse design of the gold coin, the obv of the dollar a little less so. I find the reverses of both coins lacking and having the flag...
The mint loaned out the dies to outside firms that were doing some of the testing. Most likely the pieces out out from those sources. security...
Don't count on that. The silver Ikes are silver clad halves with an 80% silver 20% copper outer layer bonded to a roughly 80% copper 20% silver...
It's an interesting strategy. We must sell what we have so we can buy more stuff.
And this time it's different! :D
If we accept Krispy's definition of sniping then we can say that no one has ever been sniped. Typically when we lose an auction because of a last...
They don't. If you look at that law both claues require that there be fraudulent intent before it is illegal. There is no fraud involved in the...
And it also comes with 50 more of them, so we may see a LOT of 69-S "double die" auctions.
I've got that on an old 78.
That slab and nothing to the value at all. Basically it is a $38 ASE.
