That happened to my uncle 35 or 40 years ago. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
I agree - it is a RPD, not a doubled die. Back then the date was punched into the Working Die by hand. If the die had been doubled that doubling...
Strike doubling. If the die had been doubled (which it was not) the mintmark (which was added by hand later) would not have the same doubling.
Yes, you have a love token. Some people collect love tokens. As far as value I have seen them sell for $10 and up. Do a search on eBay to get an...
Die gouges? Really?! How exactly how do die gouges produce lines that are incused into the coin (instead of raised lines like all other die...
I'm confused. Did you pay $1570 or $1400?

He started two threads (since merged into one thread) with the exact same photos. Take your pick as to where to try to help him....

Even with the less-than-desireable photos it is obvious (to me) that the edge has been filed. Notice the beveled areas. The coin did not leave the...
That is a perfect description of a MAD (MisAligned Die). One die was misaligned when the coin was struck. MADs are interesting but generally do...
Just another new way for the Mint to sell their products at above-face price to collectors.
Is it genuine? Most 90% silver that I have dug comes out of the ground looking a lot better than that.
Unless you live within walking distance it will cost you more (in gasoline) to return the coins than you overpaid. You only overpaid a very...
Any thread (even super old ones) that get a new reply will appear at the top of the "What's New?" search of threads.
As bad as they are the Chinese do much better work than that.
It would be nice if you could give us a hint as to where you see doubling when you post. That way we could go right to the area and help you...
The Devil is in the details.
