Cool coin too.

 

Nice indeed. Hope Clembo see's this one......:smile

 

I am sure clembo will find it. Very nice coin.

 

Gorgeous coin, PennyGuy! I love it!

 

Thanks all, I still have a long way to go with my photography skills, that's more a winter activity for me. Too much nice weather here to spend indoors. Besides I have a major landscaping project underway.

 

Very nice coin. :thumb:

Now could you explain the KF-PR1-TDO for us.

 

Building my understanding of Kevin Flynn's variety classification for 2 cent pieces myself, but here goes.....

KF - Kevin Flynn (see Getting Your Two Cents Worth pg.105)
PR1 - First variety for 1871 in Proof
TDO - Triple Die Obverse
Diagnostics Obverse: Pivot Hub Doubling w/7 o'clock pivot point. Strong doubling on TRUST and right arrow tip. Minor doubling on GOD WE, leaves below TRUST and banner edge. Doubling on N of IN and G of GOD. 7 and 1 of date almost touch. No die cracks.
Reverse: Incomplete D, 0% rotation, No die cracks.

 

Thanks for the explaination. That helps a buch and makes it more impresive.

Very cool.
