I'm confused about what you are calling "die". The die strikes the image into the planchet creating the coin. The term doubled die comes from...
Maybe it is the photos but the details look a little fuzzy to me like the coin was plated.
You can see the bottoms of the letters down in the groove. So the groove was put in after the coin was struck. Plus the edge is pushed out after...
I agree that it appears to be a lamination. Also keep in mind that a cud involves the rim of a coin so this would not be a cud, instead it would...
I'm going down this morning.
This looks to me like it was struck thru a late stage die cap as mentioned above and it is also a double error with an indent. It looks like a...

Probably the best help you can give is to call the boy scout council in your area and let them know you are a collector and are willing to help...

I have two bookcases each with 5 shelves 4 feet wide and one more lawyers bookcase with 5 shelves 3 feet wide, total 55 feet. I was able to do...
Oops, I must not be awake yet. I thought you wrote brockage error. I have never heard of a blockage error. What is that?
I would like one also for my library. Congratulations on what you have so far and I'm looking forward to final product.
My bank uses Brinks and because of my roll searching I have some understanding of the relationship between the bank and Brinks. Because of the...
I'm confused. I don't see the brockage. Could you point it out for me? Thanks.
Looking at the close up I can see what Bill is talking about. You can see where the rim and the foriegn substance meet. If this were a cud there...
First I would simply get rid of the glue using acetone. This won't hurt the coin. Then you will see what you really have.
