If you haven't seen them yet, here's a direct link to Wexler's RPM listings for 1964-D. He lists 8; here's the WRPM-001 "D/D/D/D/D East, North,...
It looks to me as if the left side of the "D" was sheared and pushed right, perhaps when the coin was ejected from the dies. That might explain...
On my camera, ISO mostly affects the noise present. At ISO 64, there's very little noise and in fact most shots don't need any sharpening with my...
Well...if you put this coin under a bright light, there would be a lot of reflections. Of course, reflections have zero detail--that's where my...
The thread on Bactrian coins got me interested in re-photographing mine. I've recently developed this process that controls highlights well and...
Very nice presentation--that was fun to read! :D
Looks like Jack Bauer tortured that coin with a power buffer...:hungover: Here's one I spotted on ebay--what a shiny "BU" IHC :depressed: [IMG]
Agreed--that's the same quality of examples I've seen in museums. Mine isn't quite as good, but I like it all the same: [IMG] Menander, AR...
Nice finds! :D
I think I can look past the noise and spot some similarities...hope it's it! :D [IMG]

There's a good clue it's glue on the reverse. You can see where the glue has protected the copper plating (it's still bright), but tarnished in...
I bet they're aware that if they got it certified, they could sell it for a lot more, hence their "I know..." ;) To my eyes, the rims of the...
The proofs are rather scarce, but I hope you stumble across one! :) One thing I remember that Aussie friends have told me--the proofs have very...
That's an interesting place for such a strong die crack, and good ones are popular with Aussie collectors. I see the same crack listed on...
Those are interesting! :D The reverse die on the NFLD 5c appears to have been scored, rather than a crack. Perhaps the feeder mechanism did that?...
Nice one! Here's one of mine... [IMG] Constantine AE3. Trier RIC VII 538. Struck 330-335 AD. CONSTANTI-NVS MAX AVG, laureate, draped & cuirassed...
In general, most overdates in Europe ended before 1940, but there are some exceptions...
Of course, there is also the standard method, which is weighing it, then weighing the coin immersed in water and calculating the SG. This also...
Interesting...I also read that 13 gold coins was another number given to the bride's family. I'm unsure how one would detect a plated coin w/o...
