You also mentioned that the used acetone had a lot of residue. Since acetone evaporates quickly, there is a decent chance that some of the...
Sorry, but it's staining from heat or environmental damage. The cladding layer is relatively thick, so you wouldn't expect the color to fade in...
Your coin is in circulated condition. It's nice, but not close to justifying the $50+ grading fees. IMO, I think it's worth putting in a 2x2 and...
Were you’re coins large or small dates? Do you have any pics? As @expat said, only 2 82-D copper small dates have ever been authenticated....
As others have said, it's an unstruck planchet. You may also see these called a type 2 Planchet since it's been through the upset mill. Great...
Understand. I wasn't trying to be critical of the edit and know why it occurred.
It will be at least a few weeks until I have anything ready. I was just trying to get some opinions, and you guys have been helpful. Want to make...
Ive been contemplating the local show option. I recently moved and want to build some local contacts to share a table to start. Most of the...
No evidence of split serifs, so it's MD. Stains on the obv, not struck through cloth
Thanks for the input. I did the bulk of my selling in the pre-order internet days so I am familiar with the checks and money order system I guess...
I would like to consolidate my collection and sell some of it off to reach a more manageable size. I haven't sold on ebay in years since they...
If one side is slightly off center, and the other side is centered, it's called a misaligned die (MAD). Go to error-ref, the give a good...
You got lucky. The Type with the buffalo on a mound was only minted in 1913. Everything else from some 1913 through 1938 is the type 2 reverse....
@ARBIE SANTOS A full pic makes it easier to determine if it's mechanical doubling or RPM. The close ups are useful, especially since they're in...
Now we know Sal's secret identity :D
Growing up on the east coast, finding an S mint coin was ALWAYS a big deal (and still is). Since you wrote "probably not the one" take some time...
52000 posts in just under 7 years works out to over 20 posts every day, 365 days a year. Wow. You must have a lot on your mind. At that rate,...
Since it's in specification, it's manufacturing variability. I consider this in the same category as minor planchet weight variation, mechanical...
I think Fred Weinberg mentioned that 15 degrees was the mint tolerance (can someone confirm that). Your coin is well within that range
If the area changes shape/size, it would be cool to save the diff coins that show the progression of the debris. Probably won't add value, but...
Separate names with a comma.
