I was searching about 12-15 years later and didn't find anything that great. Yet I think it's consistent. When we roll-searched we saw a sampling...
It was much, much less - I researched it pretty hard. And there isn't a VDB in my plans, nor 22 no D, nor 55 DDO. I like to have something a...
From the NGC site: "Always treated as a poor relation to its predecessor having the initials V.D.B., the 1909-S cent without initial is actually...
Thanks. I am eager to see it in person. While searching on the internet and eBay, the search engines kept returning both S and S VDB. The feeling...
I have one like that... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Hmmm, is anyone skeptical?:cigar:
I took the plunge and put out some big $ (ouch) for a 1909S yesterday. While researching the coin, I went to Heritage, PCGS, and NGC to look at...
Posted before, but what the heck! @Skyman, you could also have people post their parents' birth year! Edit: Now I see you wanted just one at a...
Here's another attempt to revive a coin that's in trouble. I'm looking for those pesky key dates that need a little care but look undergraded. So...
I see this is in a cardboard 2x2, so I guess it hasn't been sent to a TPG. I have a 1913 that is also raw and looks a lot like this. I have been...
Brought back from a corroded state with a bit of treatment. Thanks, VerdiCare and @BadThad.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Agreed. If anything, I like the rim toning on the first one better than the spottiness on the second. If you're heartbroken just send them to...
The more I hear, the more I like my theory. :) No way, I've only got three of them. :eek::eek: But I kind of approach this with Occam's razor....
I thought at least someone would suggest that this was a poorly mixed alloy that created a puddle of pure nickel. Let's say that puddle had a...
Thanks for the additional insights @BadThad and @physics-fan3.14. And I'm OK with that. It's going into a set in 2x2's anyway, so I don't want...
One way to tell damage that is caused by contact is that the metal gets pushed up on the side that is away from the impact. [ATTACH] Here you can...
Wonderful
I haven't seen too many cents with that fiery red deep in the features. Oddly enough, this 1928 also has that, even though it's a different mint....
Another shot of the reverse..... The holder is opened, so this is the coin without any plastic in front of it. I love the electric blue. I may...
I see what you mean. If those marks are from polishing the die, then could a polished die be flatter than it originally was, and not be as...
OK, this is getting real interesting again! When I get home I will try to photograph more detail in that area. I really don't see anything there...
