And how do you re-tone the coin uniformly?
When the Wisconsin thing was discovered. There was a great deal of controversy over how serious an error/variety it was. Seems that the...
The fact that it is raised is an issue. A filled die would not be raised. It would be incused, or even with the field, but not raised....
That is s good point. I have never seen a major error (off center, etc.) on a SE. This is a testament to the extra care they take in making...
My vote is still that it is a piece on top of the coin. The frosted effect/details seem to be visible trough the plastic. Since the frosting...
I am seeing a shadow, though. Are you sure it is not sitting on the surface? (Also, I am not sure plastic is strong enough to retain a perfect...
If you were any kind of gentleman, you would offer the lady a hankercheif.
I agree. I know that Mint sets were always slightly different (slower presses, supposedly better quality) than normal business strikes, but...

The Pope came through for me today. I had the day off and I got home from picking my mother up from the airtport to find a receipt in my mailbox...

I have a couple of these fantasy coins. They are nice, made of sterling silver, and were struck in London, I belive. I have been to Coin Craft...
Thanks for the pic. Mine has no where near that much doubling. It is mainly in the motto, if I recall correctly.
To be honest, it sounds a little like overkill on the sets. I would try to limit them. A 2005 set won't look much different to her than the...
Another thread mentioned the 72DD cent. Back then I found a DD in change, so it would be high grade circulated (maybe tarnished AU). But as I...
Well, thanks to Chrisild for the correction on the coins. These are Asian, then. So, it was the Pacific war. I so not recall much about the US...
So-called „Trench Art“, the name coming from WWI when soldiers would supposedly fill the long hours of waiting by turning military scrap into...
Looks like malicious damage to me. Too bad, as otherwise it is a very nice circulated 2 cent coin.
No, you didn't miss anything. The manager who bought it is missing a few brain cells, though. Maybe your son should bring in a few Ike dollars...
