Wow, when HE goes fishing, he uses a huge net huh? ;) @jon12 No, it is a ding just like all the other dings he is touting as mint errors.
take care spock1k
From what I've read on them, because it's possible to find a 'Cheerios variety' in the wild, the packaging makes viewing the reverse impossible.
I agree that it's not a proof.
Here's a nice one. :)
Strange things happen to one cent coins. I agree that an acid wash wouldn't cause the loss of that much mass, but who is to say it didn't sit in...
I'm going to guess that it was eaten away by acid, based on the loss of mass, retention of design, and orange-peel like appearance in the fields.
I saw that. I'd rather have one that gives me the perks, (cash back, air miles, etc.) but I'm greedy like that. :) For the record, I do not have...

How about denomination? 1? 2? 5? Ore?
If the three crowns are similar to this design, I'd guess Sweden. What is its composition? Denomination? Try reducing the size of the image...
It would be fun to make predictions on the price of gold within, say, $10 at the expiration of a round. Might make a good tie-breaker at the end too.
this is mechanical or strike doubling. Not to be confused with the sought-after doubled die. On true doubled dies, the secondary devices are...
Well, unfortunately for me it looks like I will not be able to attend the show this year after all. I look forward to reading all about it here,...
Agreed. Personally, even though the buyer was pretentious (IMO) in saying that he should not have to return the coins for a refund with the first...
If the shoe was on the other foot, and there was a member here saying "check out the 3 copper 43 cents I just bought" With a follow up saying...
