I'm pretty sure what you are seeing is strike doubling.
Ah, good ol' green got here first. ;) Yes, I was going to recommend Bruce as well. He's helped me identify/value several counterstamps in the...
I'm up for that, as long as I can keep it in my safe and call it mine :D
No way that's yours, dude, but nice try. Next time you want to troll, use a coin that an average joe could actually afford. o_O
I agree... quit trolling. ;)
The top one, because the bottom one has clearly been cleaned.
Express grading has been hit and miss for me. Sometimes the turn-around is 3 days, and sometimes it's 10+ days, but more often it's somewhere in...
If no one besides your trusted bank knows where they are, I think they're pretty well hidden. ;)

Looks like it! Nice find :)
Are you looking at examples of this date that sold, or just any cent-on-dime double denoms? Matt's coin is unique. It's not your typical 1998-2000...
That's a big number, but not surprising and very well-deserved for such an immaculate coin. Congrats, Matt! :)
I bet that 1814 is O.103 :D Cool stuff!
Just some dings, hits, abrasions or what have you, that all occurred after the coin left the mint.
Environmental damage has exposed Copper beneath the clad layer. Not worth saving. ;)
Anyone who owned the coin between 1859 and the day before you bought it could have removed the spot... ;)
Not an uncommon designation. Good spot removal won't be caught by TPGs, but if done correctly, the coin can pass grading. Although, I'd use the...
You must not be selling many... :D
So you're telling me you'll pay me a premium above spot for my circulated 1964 Kennedy halves? :p
Separate names with a comma.
