The planchets are plated when they come to the mint from the supplier. Then when they are struck the plating can tear or split. You can also...
Most of us in the York Coin Club prefer one of the other dealers here in York. Send me a message and I'll give you some recommendations. Also if...
I think what you see on your coin is where the plating split open when it was struck exposing the zinc under it.
Your coin is a 1960 D small date. There is no large date on it. I think there is just some hits (post mint damage) on the numbers making it look...
Just to clear things up a little, a misaligned die and an off center strike are two different errors. A misaligned die happens when one die is...
I have always been taught that cuds are at the rim. Looking in The CUD Book by Sam Thurman and Arnold Margolis (copyright 1997) on page VIII...
I think the Ike is struck thru grease. The rim on the obverse and reverse are too strong to be a die adjustment strike. I don't see anything on...
It is very hard to tell from your photo. Look at the marks under high magnification. If they are a strike thru then you will see the lines are...
I think this is die deterioration doubling.
It's hard to tell from the photos. Could you give some more photos straight on of the obverse and reverse? A partial collar will have the...
I would suggest researching a dealer familiar with errors before going that far to have a dealer look at it. There are alot of dealers out there...
One centimeter is .394 inches so you are saying your half is about .200 inches thick or between 3/16 and 1/4 inch? Am I looking at this right?
What is the thickness, 14/32 centimeters? You say normal is 17/32 Centimeters. This isn't right. Could you repeat the thickness.
I have a 1989 that is missing the FG. This is a common error from being struck thru grease and has no premium value.
Don't feel dumb. As I said above, I bought a Morgan Dollar off of a dealer at a premium because of the appearance of a similar error on the...
I agree. This is an extremely common error with no premium value. Just depending on what is missing, it is sometimes interesting.
I have seen this also and I think the cheap slabs are the common coins that did not get the high (expensive) grade the submitter expected. High...
The prices are very outdated. It is hard to tell the grade from the scan but it looks nice. I don't see any folds. It is an issued note and not...
You will find it on page 12 of volume one of the Haxby set. It is listed under Mongomery. It is either G16a or it is G16b if it has ABNCo...
I hate to hear about coin shops like that. It sounds like they are there to make money and are not collector oriented. If your 1993 S doesn't...
