I finally got a bottle of Verdicare. Thank you @BadThad I started with this one below it was definitely the worst of the 58D's that I found in a...
For a coin to show a raised object on the surface, IE die chip, crack etc. The die has to be damaged. That die pair would make 100's if not...
It looks like something stuck to the surface, 90% silver coins are not plated in any way. So, plating is out of the equation.
Is the spot carbon or toning?
Thats one of the key dates in the George Vl series. Too bad for the big scratch.
Both sides of the coin would be nice to see, as there may be more evidence on the obverse. That is a clash. Most likely from Washingtons nose.
The angled photos aren't readable. It sure doesn't look proof with the heavily clashed dies. Remove some light and get straight on photos. There...
Verdi care is here. I will start another thread with before and after photos.
Good morning Roseland. I agree with Desertgem and Tommy. the mark is from a bent feeder finger, The feeder finger bent and damaged the die surface.
This look a lot like the Minnesota DDR's. Good eyes Raizac.

That lamination crack may have been the one coin that made me buy the whole lot. I like how the lamination stops at the forehead and skips to LI....
This always boils down to condition. I would assume @paddyman98 paid a small premium for the error, but the majority of the price was in the grade.
I went a bump above normal, and voted MS67. The steps look a lot better on the full size photos than they do in the blown up photos. If NGC gives...
Maybe a look at some of the fake slabbed coins that are showing up in NGC and PCGS plastic with many cert numbers provided. I think that Jack...
MS70 removes all the corrosion/verdigris. But what happens is it turns them unnatural blues, reds and purples. MS70 works great on white metals,...
I missed the war nickel. Laminations are extremely common on nickels. I sure wouldn't pay double value on the silver price. I should have added...
And that's debatable. LOL The placement is usually the only debate.
