When you find a pick like this, make sure to check for doubling. While most doubling for 1963 are for Proofs, there are a number of DDRs for...
Is it cleaned? If so it is details. But it looks XF (pretty good find if a circulation coin of that age).
I was thinking the same thing as Pete, although I would expect that it would be more involved than sparsely distributed.
Buffalo stats are lower than I expected, but Silver War are right on expectations. The 2009Ds though are really above what I would ever guess (my...
Mike - thanks for the better pictures. Unfortunately, our colleagues are correct. This is the common 1939 with the 1940 reverse. 3 Diagnostics...
Can you get a clear picture os the last S in PLURIBUS? The second T in STATES? The step edges?...
Looks like a ‘39 with a ‘38 reverse. In that condition it’s a valuable coin as far as Jefferson nickels are concerned. I agree with our fellow...
Looking at the back, it appears that there are older tool marks in the suspect locations. Feeling pretty sure that it's PMD. Also, if you look...
As noted above, different die pairings might put a better obverse die with a reverse die especially where paired sets had clashed and one of the...
Larry - you'll be amazed at what you find CRH. I found cents as thin as a razor blade; put into acid for a bit until it was razor thin. I've...
Here is the link to the Coppercoins listing with the diagnostics. Your coin does not appear to have them given the pictures you provided....
Looks like it could be a dropped letter. It moved quite a distance but it appears to be almost the size of the B in LIBERTY. It appears legit....
I saw that too, but the clips look fresh relative to the overall patina. Maybe that looks different in hand though. And look for the Blakesley...
Have a look at this site and check out the offset in the picture of the strip with the punched out planchets. Multiclipped planchets will...
Here are the cheat sheets - [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I had the sneaking suspicion that the formatting wouldn't keep, but I figure that if folks want to save time looking up a date/mm for a quick...
Unfortunately, this didn't keep formatting. Copy and paste this into a Word document and restore the formatting using the 'tab' key for spacing.
Here is a list I used to search nickels (Jefferson, BO = Best Of variety): YEAR RPM BO DDO BO DDR BO 38...
I agree with the damage. For multi-clipped coins, where the clips are is important. Using an overlay, a specimen can be checked to see if it...
Some thoughts - if it had been a missing layer/clad, then the coin would weigh less than usual. Weight is generally a very good indicating...
