Here's a recent pickup--found on eBay without any other bidders. I was lucky, probably because the pics were lousy. It's a solid VF in deep brown...
New pictures of this variety I picked off ebay. I don't have many coins with varieties on both sides, so this one is interesting! It's a dark...
So I picked up this Snow-2 (RPD-002) the other day and saw something I didn't expect. It has the markers of the documented RPD (black arrows),...
I found this on eBay yesterday--if you look carefully at the seller's pic, the markers are there (arrow). It's an interesting die blunder--it...
I spotted this blurry photo on eBay, and was convinced of the variety. If you're familiar with the IHC varieties for 1873, which one do you think...
A new shot of one of my favorite MPD varieties: MPD-002 or Snow-8. I picked this one off eBay a while back. There are lots of misplaced digits in...
Here's an RPD I found the other day--the 1895 Snow-1 or RPD-003. Even in a lower grade and later die state, it's a bold variety. The 5/5 is a wide...
Here's a find from eBay. It's an interesting variety--there is a very deep file mark through the eye. Surprisingly, I was the only bidder, perhaps...
The seller doesn't think it's a proof, but I can't remember seeing such square rims on a business strike--what do you think? :D [IMG]
I just acquired this 1890 QDO-001 (or Snow-1)--a class VI quadrupled die that I've been after for a long time. This example is mid-grade, but...
Here's a 1956 Y. (Perth) penny I found a while back. At first, I didn't know what to make of the marks at the base of AUSTRALIA (arrows), until I...
Here's another overdate from Sweden. On these 1 Ore coins, the date area is very small--just 3mm across! It helps to study these under high...
Some overdates don't really look like a digit underneath as much as a general shape. Often when the old digit is polished away, an irregular...
There are a lot of repunched dates on Norway coins from this time. Many are subtle, but some are dramatic like this one from 1938. :) The...
Here's an interesting coin I picked up recently--a Norway 1932 1 Ore. What got my attention was the curl jutting from beyond the "3"--not normally...
This is a fun variety that is easily missed, unless you look carefully. I found this coin in a shop for just $1.50--a great price for this high...
Shot for a friend, this particular variety has a bold MPD that extends into the field. It's quite easy to spot under a loupe (white arrow). But I...
This is a friend's coin, shot with a lighting technique I developed to resolve maximum detail. Shot with a Nikon D810 at ISO 64, 1/100, RAW. Lens...
This overdate is just one of many in this series. If you're looking to get into overdates, these small silver coins are a fun place to...
Here's another Sweden overdate, the 2 Ore 1906/5. This one is described as "rare" in auction guides from Sweden. First, the markers compared to an...
