Die erosion and die fatigue are pretty much just differences in semantics, aren't they? Agreed...would be nice w/o the "D" and with the doubled...
I noticed the reverse of this penny, and haven't seen another, since, that has each (or any) letter in the words, "ONE CENT," touching the coin's...
Hmmm. I'm not one of those around here who's knowledgeable, but I wonder if somehow that particular coin got more thoroughly clad than the...
Thanks...now I can label it appropriately. I haven't noticed one like this since I started using a magnifying glass...which was just this year....
All text on the obverse is too close to the outer edge, with "LIBERTY," the year & the mint mark being especially distorted. I don't expect it's...
You didn't have to, but I sure do appreciate that you took a moment to do so. :) I wondered about chemical exposure. Dipping would explain...
This nickel has an even, crinkly finish, like a very delicate foil was even more delicately crumpled. Definitely isn't glossy or matte, but is...
Wonderful old nickels? I feel something very close to envy. :rolleyes: By "new rolls," do you mean uncirculated, shiny old nickels?
Thank you! You answered my questions perfectly. :) Seems to me like you should be proud today, already. You found it! The hours of squinting...
I'm curious about the reason behind your effort for publicity. I get the feeling it's about more than upping the ante. :) I read an old...
Heck, I enjoy keeping the ones that are damaged post-mint in ways unknown, too. The only exceptions are those with the different core material...
<<Imagining that situation:>> If I was given permission to look (being a relative--eventually I'd ask, if I stayed married to her child :D ),...
That's one heck of a weird-looking thing! :)
This penny's surface chipped somehow! This is the obverse of the same coin as at the start of this thread. Apparently its surface coating is...
One of the moderators will see your post shortly, Monsterbuck! :)
I hadn't noticed how shallow the "4" in 2004 was until I saw the scanned, enlarged image. I'll save all 3 and any more I find. Technically, I'm...
Just an idea: Perhaps if you changed the angle of the coin by ¼ turn, the light would hit it differently? Or perhaps not... :confused:
I'd like to see them, too! :D
Whatever is causing certain "D" pennies to look like this apparently isn't particularly rare. This is slightly less pronounced than the other two...
Sounds similar to what mikediamond posted. My curiosity about my two pennies is pretty well satisfied. They're not going anywhere, in any case....
Separate names with a comma.
