I think I m currently a member of some 13 clubs. Five local clubs, three state organizations, one regional, four national. Plus three online...
Looks like it could be incomplete fill from a slightly weak strike. Those areas did not fill and come into contact with the die so they show a...
I don't have a Charleton handy but another possibility might be that it's a reference to the rotation of the dies, one being coin rotation and one...
You've got a fairly good grasp on it. Double Strike - Coin was struck twice by the die(s) double die - coin was struck by two dies (all coins are...
When I first looked at his pictures on the other thread I dismissed it because they were poor and didn't really seem to show anything. For some...
Not chrome, Chromium is not magnetic (but chromium dioxide is.)
I think it does look like it could be struck on a nickel planchet. Before I spent money to send it out for slabbing though the first thing I would...

What Marshall mentioned about the breaks on the reverse (up to the left of the fraction causing the die to sink and the fraction to disappear, and...
How about the British proof gilt copper farthings, half pence and pence of the late 18th early 19th century? They came from the mint that way. :)...
It's a really good show if you like World coins or ancients. I'll be there on Friday and Saturday. I make it almost every year unless EAC is...
Not Doubled dies, not mechanical or machine doubling, that is Longacre doubling.
The attribution of the S-86 was easy and the S-85 wasn't that hard. That low 6 made it 84, 85, 86, or 87. (all have the same obv.) Then about...
I'm thinking HT 48 Low 33
Still holding a four 2009 coins here in Indiana. A DC quarter in Feb of 2009, an LP1 in August, and LP2 in Sept, and a Puerto Rico quarter in...
