It is as Oldhoopster said in post 20 and Fred said several times, Damage and aging. Look at the surface of the 0 and read post 20. Damage is...
Isn't it interesting that Doubled dies before 1996, had to be struck twice and any doubling during that time had to show that, otherwise was MD by...
Put the coins in a quart carton of concrete mix . shake, turn on the side to harden......when hard remove paper and have a neat looking brick or...
One thing most people forget is that the staple can corrode over time by moisture the cardboard can absorb and causes rust. Here are 3 SD I...
The DDO and wide D/D RPM. what a combination!:p:D Jim
I personally think the 60 D/D sm over lg DDO-1 is better than the 83. IMO, Jim :happy:
You might want to buy a set of calibration weights( standards) so you can see how much your balance is off. Just Taring the balance doesn't set it...
No photo of the edge, so no opinion. just a suspicion. Below is my 09 proof before it being slabbed as an example. Jim [ATTACH]
Obscenity is not allowed and using common abbreviations is not a sidestep, it is considered the same. Jim
I have mentioned this dozen of times. A Proof is not determined by how they shine, or frosty, proof coin are all made with an edge ( even with...
You are correct, but artistic use of them or their pieces is legal , thus elongated cents, etc. melting for metal alone is not legal, but you can...
For the proof the edge will be perfectly right angles to the faces. Non-proof will have chamfered ( slightly rounded) edges for smoother use in...
But true doubled dies cease with the birth of the Single Squeeze crudlola ( IMO) Jim,
I agree they are not the same. This one in #35 has the true doubling in "IN GOD" and the one originally shown at start has some MD in the same...
I really don't see anything on the mm to indicate it was a D/D. Just a old '43 :) Jim
If you can do minor science, this unit works for me when I need it, but it isn't beep and read...
I love those 70-S with twisted features. It is a wonder they could even mint coins with out Lincoln "sneering". I wish they were worth a least a...
I am sorry. but I do not see any thing indicating any mint doubling with the lettering on the scroll or 'D'. These are from the single strike era...
In my opinion, it appears to be an example of Die Deterioration Doubling. This occurs near the perimeter after the dies have collided maybe 1/2 or...
After a little back and forth, I think it is more just a late stage die deterioration, but even on a large screen , I could not say definitely....
