[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 4944557, member: 21705"]There are a couple of interesting coins this morning that intrigue me. [ATTACH=full]1188611[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1188612[/ATTACH] I believe this is an S-18, but with no edge shot, I can't tell a or b, though likely b. It intrigues me because the Die State progression indicates a gradual bulge on the left of the reverse indicating die sinking. This appears to be the opposite with the area being protected indicating the rest of the die sinking further than the initial area of sinking. The appearance is that of a massive break, but it could also be a planchet flaw or PMD. I just don't know if a die can break down to cause this reversal effect from a bulge to a protected area. The second I purchased because I needed it. [ATTACH=full]1188614[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1188615[/ATTACH] It was called dateless, but I immediately recognized the head of 94. What I didn't expect was the variety. But no bargain this time. Just a fair price instead of overpriced.[/QUOTE]
