If you haven't already, you might want to purchase a current copy of the Red Book of United States Coins published by Whitman. It contains information about every coin that has been used and/or produced in the US since colonial times. It costs about $17. Chris
thanks, my sister works at barnes &nobel I will see if she has it, just for my info now is this coin the "spitting hoarse"
I can't tell from your photos, but even if it was, it would only be worth a premium to a bidiot. The problem is that some people find a coin with an ordinary die crack and give it a dumb name so they can sell it. For example, one person found a PA SQ in 1999 that had a die crack extending from the Minuteman toward the rim. He called it the "Pissing Minuteman". Like Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does!" Chris
The year is unimportant to me. This is a grease-filled die, and they are so common that it makes them worth nothing over face value except to a bidiot. Chris
I am taking pics with usb digital microscope as of now, so sorry for crap pictures, but with the naked eye you cannot see the one in the year unless you put to light, any suggestions on a cheap camera I can purchase to take pics and load up on internet, does wizard coin have this type of product. thanks
Please don't get discouraged over any sharpness of tone any of our members might have, but try and put your ego on hold and retain the information they might give. A grease-filled die will produce results such as the coin you have. People here say they are common, but I have only found one really good one. They are worth only a modest premium for those who want them unless you could build up some hype and get a less knowledgeable bidder (bidiot) to buy it.
You don't need to take any more photos. I can see the faint outline of the "1". It is the result of a grease-filled die. Beyond that, I'm not sure what you are trying to prove. Chris
The Reverse shows mechanical damage from having been spun around in some machine. All the photos show the tops of the photos in a shadow. Jim A
CORRECTION: The Minuteman coin I mentioned in the post above was mistakenly cited as a 1999 PA SQ. It is actually a 2000 MA SQ. I realized this too late to edit the original post. Chris
