It honestly looks like a scratch…imo…Spark
Looks very normal to me, too. AU58BN. Normal circulation wear evident on the hair, cheek, jaw and lapel. Normal circulation-related toning. No...
Not in my book. You’re paying now for appreciation that will arrive 25-50 years from now. On the other foot…you will have something of low...
Lot 2. My oldest is 1856 (US coins) right now so this would be a paradigm shift and would be quite a special treat. …Spark
I agree, but it is coupled with functions of strike and die erosion/deterioration. IMO, with zinc cents, manufacturing, strike result and the age...
Really nice haul…love that ‘21 High Relief Peace. Where was the Coin Show? …Spark
Look for type differences on 1971. Also doubling varieties exist from 1971-77. Both Wexler and VV should list the majority. Check for silver...
@Jeffjay …what does it weigh? A Roosevelt dime from 1981 weighs 2.27 grams intact. If it is missing a clad layer the weight would be reduced...
Granted, the toning is very attractive but there are many areas on both sides exhibiting circulation wear: the central hair curl, the weak-ish...
I thought it was me being dense or ignorant…I would like to know too.
I know for a fact 1964 proof sets were made. SMS sets were made 1965-67 in lieu of proofs, so this is not an SMS coin. Google: “SMS coinage...
Wexler WDDO-003, aka FS-103…imo…Spark REALLY NICE FIND!!!
I’m a little late to the party but I agree with 63. Strong luster and very attractive toning…imo…Spark
Well, like the other one, it could be an unassigned variety, not much to go on. I suppose it could be minor clashing, but keep in mind it is...
Could be an un-assigned variety, as you said there are quite a few involving the fingers in that spot. One other thing you could try is check at...
It’s part of the design. Compare it to a copy in better condition…imo…Spark
Correct. Another tell to keep in mind about MD…until around 1990, the mint mark was added to the die afterwards, and since, on your coin, both...
Tell us where the error is supposed to be, don’t make us guess. The first two could be STG, but so minor and common to have no value. I don’t...
Although your pictures are horrible, it looks like you found a dryer coin. Constantly rolling around in a dryer will curl up the rim and abrade...
Yes, it is die deterioration or die erosion: the die pair was used well past a normal cycle. Who knows? Maybe the Mint employee fell asleep at...
