<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2595053, member: 10461&quot;]I&#039;m gradually imaging my detector finds from 1992 to the present, and making a game out of it over on the Contests Forum.&nbsp; Come see <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordms-epic-treasure-hunting-game.287520/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordms-epic-treasure-hunting-game.287520/">&quot;LordM&#039;s Epic Treasure Hunting Game&quot;</a> and participate, if you&#039;re so inclined.&nbsp; There will be non-dug <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordms-epic-treasure-hunting-game.287520/page-13#post-2593901" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordms-epic-treasure-hunting-game.287520/page-13#post-2593901">coin prizes</a>, and everyone who scores any points in the game will get something.&nbsp; And you can come in at any time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, in the game, I tell the story of each of my detector/dug &quot;keeper&quot; coin finds, but do not initially reveal what that find was.&nbsp; Players have to guess, using the clues provided, and are awarded points.</p><p><br /></p><p>This one came up most recently in the game, and was discussed therein.&nbsp; I realize it&#039;s a dug, dateless coin, and therefore probably not worth more than face value, but I thought it was neat and was wondering how you&#039;d classify the errors or anomalies on it.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordms-epic-treasure-hunting-game.287520/page-14#post-2594415" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lordms-epic-treasure-hunting-game.287520/page-14#post-2594415">Story of the find here</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/TUCPV78wMCtU1MsPKuGU/ZNT5kZcFkEh2lrAXtfk3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/TUCPV78wMCtU1MsPKuGU/ZNT5kZcFkEh2lrAXtfk3" rel="nofollow">DD-013: (no date, ca. 1913-1938) BUFFALO NICKEL (with die break? cud? errors)</a></b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Date Found:</b> October 10, 1993</p><p><b>Place Found: </b>Riverside Cemetery, Asheville, NC.</p><p><b>Approximate Depth:</b> 2-3&quot;</p><p><b>Detector: </b>Garrett GTA-500</p><p><br /></p><p><i>This coin may be dateless but is very intriguing. Note the apparent die breaks or perhaps severe laminations. Whatever the error category, there is definitely something &quot;going on&quot; here! There appears to be a large cud on the reverse, completely covering the &quot;F&quot; in the word &quot;FIVE&quot; below the buffalo. That area is raised to the level of the buffalo&#039;s mound, where it should have been recessed. The depression where the &quot;I&quot; in &quot;FIVE&quot; should have been could be post-mint damage. But I think the raised area where the &quot;F&quot; should be and the apparent crack/raised area at the top of the Indian&#039;s head on the obverse are mint-created anomalies of some sort.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><i><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/7a7FwR7JSQKU5Lb1Bmpg_DD-013-coin.png?w=800&amp;h=400" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><br /></p><p><i><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/8JWIz6wlRpuQ7yu3dQXY_DD-013-detail-obv.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></i></p><p><br /></p><p><i><img src="https://collectivecoin.imgix.net/TWMIB1EnQ76h1TbzDWHz_DD-013-detail-rev.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
