To be honest, I don't think the daisy in the picture is real. It looks to me to be an artistic generic rendering of a daisy. While the artist may...
I can see where that could be a problem for some. Take the rod and lock it into the chuck of your drill press. Lift the drill press table up to a...
Or you could set your table vise up perpendicular.
Actually the bigger the diameter of the rod the better. Too a certain point. This allows for a deeper impression of the coin. The impression of...
Heat the end of a 3/4" or so steel rod cherry red and press a dime into it using an arbor press. Quench and let cool then start striking coins.
Between 1878-1904 there was not many people collecting Morgan Dollars. Heck even long after these dates. Morgans and Peace dollars flowed out of...
But they would not have been a century old when struck. They would be recent coinage - much like the Sacagawea Dollar and State quarters are now.
I am 100% confident that 100% confidence of authenticity is not achievable.
Absence of the markers provides someone with a high level of confidence in attributing a 1893-S Morgan as counterfeit. Presence of the markers...
Well deserved - congrats Jack
No - the coins are not the same. The thinking is the damaged coin may be the source coin used to make counterfeit dies which struck the other coin
At this time that would be a problem. My computer carrying my CAD System crashed. Currently being analyzed by technicians to see if it can be...
I am thinking source coin - too much of the abuse (dings and such - especially around the rim) are missing on the 2nd coin. Why the "O" in dollar...
All overstrikes are double strikes but all double strikes are not overstrikes. Just like all thoroughbreds are horses but all horses are not...
Write your Congress person and blame them - this anger towards Ebay for the 1099 issue is misplaced....
I suspect most of these are not intentional being more along the line of errors made in the manufacture of the counterfeit dies.
You place the light at the same angle and from the same direction the force from the object that created the scratch on the coin initiated from....
I guess it is matter of how one interprets the question.
A misplaced date is only unique to coins struck by a specific die and therefore is not a marker broad enough to be useful as an...
Couldn't you change the position of the coin in relation to the light and get the same results?
