I know they are not the same, they are from two different words, and the separation is greater in my example, because the second coin was rotated...
[IMG] There is an example of the doubling effect with the word CENT from the reverse, in my example the second hit was slightly more rotated then...
100% serious, and it would take all of 10 seconds. I doubt the intent was to make the appearance of doubling, just they didn't line the coin up...
It's doubling of the ONE, the coin was hit, and then the coin on top was slightly shifted clockwise and hit again, and it gives the appearance of...
I've already posted images of the coin I hit. Just look at the imprint of ONE on the obverse. See how it's backwards and indented? The only way...
Lol! I think MS67 would be the highest grade known for the Rev of '78, and an MS66 is only worth like $40,000, wonder what a 67 would be worth...
Thanks, and yep it's the reverse 3 (7tf SAF), VAM 13.
[IMG] The Red shows where the rim was flattened out, that was from the coin on top of it, and the pressure from either a hammer or vice. Both...
It's from the pressure, it stretched out the design on the obverse. Your coin was hit at least twice, and the coin was slightly moved between each...
I'll respond without looking at any of the other posts, just to see how far off I am :D. Gold Indians definitely aren't my specialty. I don't...
Yep, but it wouldn't pass for a heavy die clash, because the the reverse details are incuse, which is a dead giveaway of a hammer job. On an...
Here's a quick one I just did 1 hit with the hammer, got pretty good transfer. [IMG]
Take another Lincoln cent put it on top of that coin and hit it with a hammer, or it could be squeezed in a vice grip.
They would have to be counterfeit CAC stickers, and furthermore all you have to do is look up the cert # on CAC's website to see if the coin is...
No, the coin is sent to CAC in it's slab (PCGS or NGC) and if CAC agrees with the grade they sticker the slab.
Great coins! I really like that 1939 :thumb:.
Imo I think it's genuine, I couldn't find anything that leads me to believe it's a counterfeit. I see what your seeing though Doug, it looks like...
Lol, that's a great one Ken! As for bored buying, I wouldn't really say I buy when I'm bored, but I do like to make some small purchases to hold...
As T$ said there are a lot, and I mean a lot of fakes, especially for the better dates, but even the common dates are counterfeited.
It was a hoard of Morgan dollars: NGC Certifies the Battle Creek Collection of Rainbow Toned Morgan Dollars *Touche T$, lol.
