Yes. Five years ago I got to hold and examine the Walton example that recently sold. [ATTACH]
Looks like a nice 75%+ off center as well as a brockage (the reverse is blank).
Before I turned ten years old we used silver coins every day. We did not have to search rolls for silver coins; we got them in change. Does that...
Bingo!
Rick, Journalism is dead. What passes for news these days is often not vetted (as we witnessed after the Boston Marathon bombing) and is usually...
It cannot be an RPM because the Mint stopped hand-punching mintmarks into dies in about 1991.
Probably a die chip. A cud would include the rim and extend into the field (which yours does not).
Rick is right. The Mint suspended production of business strike Half Dollars for circulation because there is no demand for new coins. The number...
What you are suggesting is referred to as an overdate. 1912/13 reads "12 over 13" meaning the two digits "12" were punched over the two digits...

Give them a call tomorrow and explain that to them. I am sure they will give you a refund for your initial purchase or a credit to use later.
That's what I was thinking. Possibly the next step would have been to gold plate it. Or perhaps this was a test strike in copper (or whatever the...
That is very plausible. I would like to see Mike Diamond's explanation.
If you can get part of the coin in focus you can get ALL of the coin in focus IF you shoot straight on rather than at an angle.
If Freud were a coin collector he would get a kick out of that statement. [ATTACH]
Keep us posted. It is a very interesting error and I would like to know what the experts say.
Although the difference between the numbers '58' and '62' is slight the difference between a coin graded AU-58 and a coin graded MS-62 is huge....
Separate names with a comma.
