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...

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...
I'm always happy to get customer wrapped coins. When you hit...you hit!!
I thought I'd offer this for consideration, so I apologize in advance for this different, and off-topic, comment: Here in the West, we are raised...
I notice on some coins of this vintage that along the profile of the bust you can see what looks like a hand engraver was used to sharpen the...
The reverse it true after checking. It's a greaser: "A weak strike will show a poorly developed or absent design rim. A grease strike will show a...
The 2009D totals are climbing much faster than I would have guessed. Interesting. Nice greaser by the way. Both sides is not that common in my...
Nice early Lincolns folks!! Love that chocolate brown toning Razz!! This is a bit of a distance shot, but what I had on my phone.[ATTACH]
Nice find. As alurid states, the engraving for the master changed from time-to-time (as it did in 1969) thus why the look of Lincoln and the...
Correct. Not an error. Common wear-and-tear for a die in service. Some cracks are better than others. A full picture of the coin would give a...
