Thanks Kurt. And I'll keep defering to your knowledge for overdates. :)
The one coin posted is not RPM-002. What makes RPM002 an RPM is the split serifs and the separation lines on the upper curve of the "S". It has...
What RLM said. However, I can tell you from the obverse that even as a "no P" it's not worth sending in. Nice find for your collection though.
It sure is. The better the shape of the coin, the more money it commands. What's your point?
Did you people have to go and remind me of quantum entanglement?
There is simply no way to answer your questions in short order. You are basically asking the equivalent of, "How can I make money on stocks?", or...
Nice dramatic trail die find!
Nice find. I'm surprised the cashier even knew how to use it as (face value)change.
Here's an article. They are indeed very rare, but they are not unheard of. http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=26364
There is no need for that. Are your photos bad? Not particularly. However, I would suggest that you keep the lighting consistent for your obverse...
Nice find Jim!!!! That's a great example and should hit 65RD with a chance at 66. Have you been careful in handling it? Have you touched it on the...
Thanks for posting the photos. Can you take a photo of the reverse that's the same as the photos you took of the obverse? Your obverse photos are...
You might be onto something. People actually collect and pay premiums for counterstamped coins. It the same type of inflicted damage with a...
Well, since 1935 FS5c-018 is a doubled die reverse, you should probably show us pics of the reverse. There's definitely no doubling going on with...
I still see detail, but a lot of flattening. If you look a the tips of the wheat ears they are almost becoming rounded, and the wheat stems are...
Yep. Unfortunately both of these are just beat up. I've got an entire bag full of similar coins that were rejects from counting machines. If...
It's hard for me to tell from these photos, but it's either MD or die deterioration.
That's MD at the base of the building.
Here's a 1943 that I found that has some extreme class VI doubling going on. Notice how the letters appear distorted, or stretched, in one...
Either a commercial dryer or a rock tumbler. Both can achieve the same effect of flattening all the devices equally in all directions. And believe...
Separate names with a comma.
