Welcome back Spider LOL....I guess if you could prove any of them genuing, you could always carefully cut then out and then market them as the...
Definitely looks engraved. Its always hard to tell from photos, but it looks like its seen some printers ink at some time too. Perhaps it was...
I've seen coins flattened by trains that still show "details" :)
Ahhh...ok...Thanks :D
I'm guessing b/c the steel planchet is much harder than copper, it might cause the dies to "chatter" a bit when the coin was struck.
Once you start down the odd side...... Yah know speedy, your becoming increasingly excited by error coins posted here. Kinda strange for...
I know someone (eh-hem) who did this to several coins in their youth, but its technically illegal so I won't reveal my source. All the coins run...

With only 107500 known minted, just getting one into a collection is tough, so even as furry as the photos make this one appear, I wouldn't kick...
No great find, but with all the hoarding going on, I pleasantly suprised when I got a 2005 - P OIV nickel in change the other day. Also have...
