That's a great line from one of my favorite movies (Dr. Strangelove).
What do you mean by 'rampade'? I cannot decipher that word.
That's a fairly beat up Lincoln Cent. The "mintmark" on Lincoln's head looks like a gouge (although it is hard to tell in the blurry photo) and...
Dr. James Wiles is one of the leading experts in Lincoln Cent varieties as well as 20th Century varieties and errors. You can read his bio here -...
Yes, that is a die crack. It is very common on Morgan Dollars. Die cracks are one way to attribute VAMs (die pairings of Morgan and Peace Dollars).
Apparently that is too hard. It is easier to ask the question and have someone answer the question for you (again).
More than likely you have a common, ordinary Business Strike dime struck at the Philadelphia Mint (which did not use a mintmark in 1968). However,...
Strike doubling. No premium.
When I read the title of this thread - 'Ever Been a Crackout Victim?' - I thought it was going to be about cracking out a coin and either getting...
Lauren, It would probably benefit you to study the modern minting process. Once you understand how coins are made you should be able to...
I agree with that! CoinTalk has been inundated with mundane threads lately. (Perhaps that will change due to a recent banishment.)
That's from someone who knows what they are doing. There is no telling what a neophyte will pay.
Probably no premium (MADs are not uncommon). You might be able to find someone willing to pay you something for it but I wouldn't get my hopes up....
In that case it is a MAD (misadjusted die). Very little if any premium. If both sides were off center the coin would be a true off center coin...
What does the reverse look like? Is the reverse off center like the obverse or is it properly centered?
Please post a good photo so we can understand what it is that you are describing. If I am understanding you correctly you think the copper core...
UPDATE I heard about this Tuesday when I dropped by ANA Headquarters. Wyatt Yeager Sentenced to 27 months in ANA Museum Theft
It's a real shame that a coin survives almost 2,000 years just to be destroyed by someone looking to make a buck.
A grade by SGS means absolutely nothing. A good rule of thumb is "Don't buy coins in SGS holders." (That is unless you are able to grade the coin...
For the record, I have never used a Coinstar machine. (I refuse to pay someone 9% to do something I can easily do myself.)
Separate names with a comma.
