Well considering the value of a regular issue Churchill crown is about $1 or a little less I don't think you have to worry about the numismatic...
Red is over 95% original red color, RD is 95% red to around 5% red, Brown is >5% red. I think that is right.
The reverse are definitely planchet flaws, the obverse possibly a strike through. Love the die clash in the field by the forehead and below the jaw.
I've seen an XF 1886 V nickel love token. As for the 1822 bust dime, it could have been worse, he could have planed off the entire reverse.
The same way you would grade any coin. At first ignore the corrosion and grade the coin based on the amount of wear on the high points, that is...
No one has said in this thread that they do not exist. The closest was back on the first page, on Jan 18 of 2010 "It, they could not and will...
And still living in England
Yes N-12 does jump out, especially in later die stages. N-12 shares the same obv with N-11. Terminal stage of 31 N-12, the "Harpooned Whale" [IMG]

Acetone to removeany water trapped in the corrosion, and then store in a very dry environment. The corrosion reaction requires water to proceed....
That's not a cure, it's an enablement.
Maybe not, but they will still work in a vending machine.
Same comment as before, post pictures in a new thread, not tacked onto the end of an 8 year old one.
It is "wrong"? Depends on what you mean by "wrong". But they aren't varieties and I would not refer to them as such myself. I would not pillory...
True, but the odds of winning are MUCH MUCH greater if you buy a ticket than if you don't. :)
I liked the before better.
Sure, right here, but please do so in you own thread and not tacked onto someone elses's thread that is five years old. Anther comment is that...
I learned patience ordering from the Mint back in the early 70's. Order your proof and mint sets in February, checks were cashed immediately (no...
When the die is misaligned far enough that part of the design it off the edge of the planchet. (these don't happen for long because if it is that...
And I would argue with that as well. Doubled dies and RPM are varieties (because they are on every coin from that die), die cracks and the 3...
