I just found one, not quite as nice condition as this one, and not as much of the clash marking visible on the obverse (the reverse looks about...
Wow, the alerts keep on coming. I've got to find a way to put a stop to that. If you wonderful, warm-hearted, "welcoming" folks don't want "my...
You seem to be seeing things that don't exist, since this seems to be your only post in this thread. There are various terms for that, but, not...
I am now retiring from this thread.
I've looked at it carefully, and looked at the corresponding area on the reverse with equal diligence, and the "heat" theory doesn't seem to...
Select One.
Who was it that said something along the lines of, "When you cannot win, pound on the table, yell, then get up and storm out of the room"? (IIRC...
Chuckle! Am I to infer from this declaration that "Not a cud" equates to "not an error"? For a bonus point, can you explain why you type "CUD"...
Very nicely done! One of the best attempts I've seen at reframing the terms, and having been around the block more than a few times, I've seen...
Sorry to keep pestering you in this apparently concluded thread, but I keep thinking about that IMO unique dime, and I want to urge you to send it...

What is the correct term for a doubled mint mark on a die with doubling that is formed via the single squeeze method?
You're seeing the same things I'm seeing, so I guess you must be delusional, ya poor guy! :)
Buried, you say? In coins? If I mail you a shovel, would you... dig it?
I'm curious as to just what sort of "damage" would cause the "96" in the "1957" dime (as well as its "OD" and "TRUST" in IGWT) to be thrust upward...
One last muse on toning: The exact same phenomenon that causes the iridescent colors on a coin was used by Gabriel Lippmann in 1886 to create a...
Why do they use such crude methods to "polish" a die? I've got coins that look like someone took random swipes at the die with a rasp. I don't...
I had taken some more photos -- and a video -- to demonstrate that there is NOT "wear" -- showing how the clear reflections of my fingers, as well...
My feelers are just fine. It's my destroyed spine that's in a world of hurt. But hey, I'm a 70 year old teenager that's been everything from a...
Golly, why stop there? Why not just take me out back and shoot me? I mean, the nerve of me, to have opinions, and ask questions, and [gasp!]...
Separate names with a comma.
