I was wracking my brain for where I'd seem something similar before. Could it be the same process that creates trail dies and so-called wavy...
Odds: Odd because coins from the first reverse design didn't stack properly, so they quickly modified it and started coining reverse II. Why...
Very interesting, never heard of it. My initial question after reading the link is - how do they know it's on the die? It seems to me that it's...
I would say the answer is very little interest. I appreciate the minutia involved in identifying them and giving them a Wexler number, but there...
Now that I look again, I believe @charley is correct. There's a gouge across the front hoof that has the same appearance as the depressions where...
Your rotated overlay has the obverse facing the wrong way. It should be a reversed image. I have seen a dozen clashes on the reverse of a Barber...
Silver certificates in that condition are probably only worth face value. I've heard that some coin shops give them in change. Bicentennial...
Is that a Dan Carr? [devil emoji]
That's the continental currency dollar design and not the Fugio cent though, isn't it?
Here is a video with a graphic showing how the upsetting mill puts a rim on the planchet. I can't see how a burr survives that. Maybe? [MEDIA]
True, but the one in the barrel was clearly the result of a "hit." Not sure about the others.
I can understand how that falls under the "defective planchet" umbrella. However, I'm having trouble visualizing how such burrs would survive the...
Now I'm thinking of that body they found in a barrel when Lake Mead dried up. Hope all you find is coins!
To me it's like buying scratch-offs. But if you enjoy the thrill and can afford to throw money at it, I can't argue. Just remember that the house...
The third being ANACS? I've had good experience with their customer service. The head guy even called me to confirm that I wanted conservation on...
If you zoom in on this chart https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CURRCIR for 1920-1940, and the numbers are accurate, removing $250m from...
Maybe a couple tiny defects in the rim or the two dots on the reverse? There shouldn't be a 70 given. Nothing is absolutely perfect. I have no W...
Yeah, I don't know anything about this stuff, just what I've seen on forums. My first thought was some sort of "struck through rim fragments" but...
There was/is a "company" in Canada doing the same thing, mimicking ICCS (the main Canada-based grading company) as ICGS or something. They...
To me it looks like copper was pulled/pushed up from the edge (by the collar?) and then struck into the coin. I have no idea how that could happen...
Separate names with a comma.
