That's nothing new. I change my avatar fairly often. I guess you have not been around long enough to know that.
More correctly it is HALF of a magician's coin.
Does not look like a doubled die to me. Where do you see doubling? What year and mintmark is the coin?
Did the coin just happen to fall into you shoe at a coin show? (Wink. Wink. Nod. Nod.)
That's right. Mintmarks were no longer hand-punched into the working dies after circa 1990/1991. The flat shelf on your mintmark was caused by...
What do you mean by "mint fill" and "die fill"? Also, 'parchment' is a prepared animal skin that the ancients used to write on. I think you...

Finally!! For eight months I have been wondering how the value of off-center coins is determined.
You might want to read the forum rules. You should only start one thread - not two - for your questions.
If you are talking about a minting error (e.g., clipped planchet) I would agree. But it you are talking about a coin that was damaged after it was...
If I remember correctly that is one of the things to look for on a genuine '16-D. There were 4 die pairs used to strike the '16-D and (I think)...
Could you guys explain to me how one would remove the cupro-nickel (not silver) clad layers from a quarter? And, supposing you could remove both...
I believe you are looking for varieties, not errors.
Are you proposing that it should be illegal to: 1) Carve Buffalo Nickels into Hobo Nickels? 2) Use a coin in jewelry (e.g., place it in a ring,...
That's what it looks like to me. That's a very, very cool find but I don't know if they are legal to own.
That's what I was thinking.
I agree and meant to say that in my reply above. I have seen a lot of MS-61s that look a lot worse than this coin (not necessarily Ikes).
That was not obvious. 40% of your photos were of the damaged edge. No way for us to know that was not what we should be looking at. Anyway, all I...
Others may disagree but I don't think PCGS grades many coins MS-60. That may be because very few people submit uncirculated coins that look like...
OK, I won't guess. I, and the others who responded, know what we are talking about. No guessing. Just facts. You are correct that a coin that...
