That is a fair question. From the other coins I’ve seen, I think it is a low spot relative to the rest of the coin. Even on coins with extreme...
Unless I am mistaken, I think I do see the bump present in the first coin, it seems to be reflecting the light differently. The second coin...
Given the price I paid for this coin (around $60), I’m not unhappy with the coin as it appears, I personally like it, however I would certainly...
Let me also add this photo from my microscope, the 0 in the date. Odd marks around the numbers and letters near the edge, no idea what they would...
Edit: absolutely, that would be helpful! Having seen a few, what have you seen regarding the die crack and lump I’ve mentioned? And yes it will be...
Okay, point well taken :) I’ll have to calibrate my scale significantly in order to determine accurate weights, this indicates it is giving both...
I do love the original color and look to this coin, the reverse does show a large scratch but the rest of the coin more than makes up for it to...
I do love the surfaces for sure. And that is unfortunately a large scratch but for everything else the coin offers, it’s minor for my personal...
Okay, so I’ve done a bit more research and can confirm first of all that the 1 in the date is repunched, as is expected. However there is one...
I greatly appreciate the tolerance information, that does help a lot. And that is fair, it could very well be that my scale is simply inaccurate,...
Oh, I do hope that’s all it is, that would be swell. I’ll do what I can to replace the calibration weight, I’m really wishing I knew where it was....
Another useful update: I weighed several genuine US coins from my collection to evaluate loss of mass or lack thereof. An xf trade dollar and BU...
I agree, I will look into that as soon as I can. Given the nature of things at this moment, it may be difficult to procure “non-essential” items...
That is certainly within reason, however I might be slightly skeptical of a coin like this retaining so much weight unless it was closer to AU or...
That is a reasonable thought, though something I’ve found on genuine coins is a very minor loss of mass due to wear. Is it fair to say, given the...
I concur, they seem to be either some sort of casting bubbles or perhaps die chips? Not sure if they would qualify as the latter, the terminology...
Good question, I should have included that, not magnetic.
This is my second post here, y'all are great!! I have copied some of this text from a post I initially put on reddit. Please pardon the picture...
