Hello All. I took a few more shots of this quarter to see if anyone can see what I see. The out of focus shot hopefully brings out the S under Q in quarter. There is a pit around the eye and nose bridge I believe may be another eye. I tried hard to bring out the Y above the B in liberty and there is a Pillar of a letter above liberty also. Please look very hard and let me know if you can tell. Thanks All.
If another president was added to Mount Rushmore I'd be impressed. Seriously, looks like deteriorated dies.
Thanks Paddyman....I swear to you guys there are letters struck all over this coin....can anyone explain how the dies are set up for stamping depth and alignment?? Thanks guys.
Sometimes when you look too hard you see weird things. That does not mean they are what you think they are.
I understand. I swear if you held this coin and didn't have to look at it through pics you would see everything I do. No one can see the top bend of the S under the Q? my pic must be horrible. On my big screen it jumps right out. I agree I was wrong on the dimes..boy was I! But I'm telling you guys the letters are there and this thing has been stamped all around the coin. the field tappers down deep toward the rim all the way around the coin.
I am sure that someone has already chimed in with http://www.dictionary.com/browse/pareidolia. You are seeing extreme die deterioration, and damage. nothing else. It is useless to keep posting new threads, thinking you are gonna get a different answer.
Yeah...I'm making this up...your right. I see coins everyday with letters where there not supposed to be.....I'm not crazy and making up letters on a coin. Bye guys.
John, you're trying too hard to find something wrong. However, until you have a complete understanding of the minting process from making the dies to producing the coins, you will probably end up seeing "ghosts in every closet". No, you're not crazy, but you have to realize that there are trillions of coins in circulation, and there are millions and millions of ways that the surfaces of the coins can be affected in everyday commerce. I wish that I had saved the image of a Lincoln cent taken many years ago where the owner of the coin swore up and down that he could see an image of the "Shroud of Turin" in the obverse field. Unfortunately, no one could convince him otherwise. I apologize for joking that Peter should charge a special fee for this kind of stuff. By that I meant that adding more photos about a coin that has already been viewed won't change anything. We get this all the time. Moving a coin around, taking different photos or even trying to use a different camera won't make anyone think differently. Chris
D.D.D........Don’t bother with this coin please it is not a special coin. @John Jovanovich Put it in a 2X2 and store it with others you will find that are like it. When you find yourself putting HUNDEREDS of these types of errors away you will then understand why everyone is telling you the same thing. I promise you will find REAL errors but you must continue to search TENS OF THOUSANDS of coins to have any kind of chance to find a truly valuable coin. -Until that time study up on whatever coin you are going to focus on. -Fine tune your coin inspection skills so you have a routine that’s the same for every coin, every time. -Don’t focus on any one aspect of a coin when inspecting, use your routine and let the anomalies show themselves. -Practice practice practice. -I personally look at each side of a coin at least 4 separate times when I’m bank roll processing. You will NOT find valuable errors on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It might take YEARS to find one so settle in and search. Odds go up the more you search. My best pull lately are a couple of wavy step cents I found recently their worth $10.00 each. Big whoop! BUT I did find a nice 1931S in VF20 4 months ago. It’s the way it works my Friend, no substitute for eyes on coins. Don’t spend it looking at nothing when there’s lots of other coins to look at. Sincerely, Reed P.s. Look at my Avatar it’s about 6000 or 7000 Lincoln cents from bank rolls. Each one in the picture has been looked at at least 4 times each side. And I’m not done yet. Its 4 Boxes of re rolls, I’ll 2X2 about 2500, Keep the pre 1982’s and deposit the rest. Nothing of high value came from this load.
I founda 10s. Thought it was a 10d. Until someone said no such thing as a 10d lincoln. To this day it still looked like a D. Wish it was
If you happen to look at this, you are using a digital microscope and the way that it generates pictures can cause things to look like other things.
