I would need better close ups of the MM to determine if it's an RPM. As for the weight, it is only very slightly overweight considering the...
I agree. Looks like acid.
What you're seeing on the lower part of the D is a contact mark. The mark above the lower serif looks like a polish mark and the mark on the upper...
If you are looking for known doubled dies, check Wexler's site or coppercoins.com. Are you asking if your coin is a doubled die? It's not. Here's...
Coneca doesn't have photos of that one. However, it's the same one that's listed at Coppercoins as 1DO-002.
I'm not seeing anything. Here is DDO-002- http://varietyvista.com/1984DDDO002%20cent.htm
That reverse crack is close to being a retained cud. Nice find. http://cuds-on-coins.com/
Now I see what you are talking about. That was just a part of the mint mark punch. You'll see that on a lot of "S" cents.
Look at how much money places like Heritage and Great Collections make. The serious dealers with the serious coins are already making money elsewhere.
I'm not sure what you are seeing with that one. Can you draw an arrow pointing to what it is you're questioning?
Varieties are a lot of fun. Now you know to look for those split upper serifs.
That's a rough looking gal.
Mine will be an online archive, so no need for collectors to go out and buy books. :)
I always like finding "BIE"s, and I'm about to embark on a project to catalog them and further expand on Jean Cohen's cataloging of them from the...
That's it Jim. You can clearly see the split serif in that last MM photo you posted. Coneca lists your example as a Stage E. You might also look...
Thanks Jay. I've searched so many 1950s cents from the San Fran mint that my eyes automatically look for that subtle, notched upper serif.
The LIB is normal.
It's a die chip and these chips located between the B & E are called "BIE" cents. There are people who collect them and there used to even be a...
First of all, most dealers don't have much of a clue when it comes to errors. You could send it to Ken Potter who is the only person I know of...
I agree with Jay. RPM001 and die chips on the 5s. However, the third coin from the left is also RPM-002. I can see the split upper serif in your...
Separate names with a comma.
