That one has definitely been tumble dried.
Aside from the 1944D OMMs(which yours is not), any 1944D RPM is probably going to sell in the $2-$5 range.
I have over 10000, but it has nothing to do with their metal content. No one is going to get rich anytime soon from hoarding copper cents for the...
The RPM will always be in the exact same position. However, different die stages can alter the strength of the RPM, and this could show more of...
Try and refresh. Everything looks good to me.
Here's an EDS photo. [ATTACH]
Early die stage. Don't look at the late die stage that is pictured on coppercoins.com.
I think you have RPM-005, which shows up strongest in EDS examples.
I've seen this before where Philly coins have accidentally gotten mixed into another mint set. I suppose you could call it a packaging error.
If you're talking about what's going on with IGWT, it's die deterioration.
I have mixed emotions about the book. Did it get people interested? Yes, and that's a good thing. However, an "A" for effort doesn't quite cut it...
I believe that at one point either ICG or maybe SEGS would list the attribution "Poor Man's Double Die" on their grading label. I don't think...
There must be something about being named Frank and having an affinity for oddities. This reminded me of a good article by Frank LaMondie in "Mint...
I like your idea. Now if you can just convince Candice Swanepoel to get in front of my camera and model for me, I promise you I'll stick a coin in...
Yep. Those were knocked off. Probably the victim of the fingers of a coin rolling machine. That's one of the most damaged areas by rolling...
I'll admit that my expertise is in Lincoln Cents. I do know that the coin I posted shows Class 9 doubling on the bridge of the nose, but that area...
It was a part of the original design, but it's normally much less pronounced than the example I found or the one Tommy is showing.
Tough to tell Tommy. I found one almost identical, but mine also showed doubling on the bridge of the nose. [ATTACH]
I wish I could find these everyday. As Paddy mentioned, unfortunately a lot of older coins we find in circulation were probably stolen from...
It's just an area of toning.
