What’s going on here on the rim? It does not appear to be displaced metal from a hit. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hey all! I bought these two Emperor Kangxi Chinese 1 Cash coins at my LCS. I've been trying to identify them using David Hartill's Cast Chinese...
I'd respectfully disagree. The requirement that true doubling be of the same height and strength is a widespread misconception and...
Keeper or spender in your opinion?
It's a good question. I think the initial idea that it was on the die was that, when it was discovered, it was found on three Andrew Jackson...
Yep! Fairly certain. Typical clash mark on shield cents
Here’s a nice lil clash. Still not sure if it’s a keeper. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
This is an interesting anomaly perhaps relates to the hubbing process and strangely seen mostly on coins from the Denver Mint. It’s also perhaps...
While I initially thought the marks looked like an original part of the die, they do seem to strangely be worn-down pmd gouges. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I realized this late last night and forgot to come back and mention it. I think this is the simplest, most reasonable explanation. I think the...
Not quite at this stage. I've just presented a working hypothesis hoping that others more well-versed in die clashes would chime in, but my idea...
What specific characteristics of a true doubled die do you think this lacks? Looks good to me.
Oh come on, Kentucky. I'm merely applying the scientific method. Don't conflate me with these guys o_O:hilarious:
Nice find.
Thank you for sharing the video. That is quite interesting. I would think that perhaps this is where a rim burr would get folded over onto the...
I'm not sold either but it's a working hypothesis. A clash mark would be raised, which the mark on my coin is. I experimented to see if I could...
An explanation as to why I thought it may be a rotated (or misaligned?) die clash: I'm not sure the distinction as I am not entirely familiar with...
This one is a bizarre one. I believe the anomalies are clash marks here, but they do not entirely line up with clash overlays of the buffalo...
So fun! Looking forward to some spectacular finds from the beach (manifesting for you).
Excellent photos. Looks like it was underground (env. damage) and not improperly annealed.
Separate names with a comma.
