Rim Burr?

 

This is an easy one, 4 me, so I'll let someone else, give the big reveal......

 

looks like a rim cud and PVC damage

 

It's a small deep lamination. You can see partial dentical formation and a small unpeeled portion on the upper outter rim area

 

Planchet flaw on rim and tape residue on the reverse.

 

Well, frig......
I guess it AINT SO EASY AFTER ALL....
I was gonna say struck thru grease-
With the big clue, being the same issue on the reverse stars....
Anyone else????

 

Aside what looks like a flan flaw on the obverse and evidence that the coin was once glued to something on the reverse, I can't see enough detail to make any guesses I'd consider intelligent. Not convinced there *is* detail missing on the reverse stars yet; could be just the lighting.

 

The photo is not sharp enough or magnified enough. The characteristic on the rim is INTO the coin so it is either a strike thru, or planchet flaw. Planchet flaw covers a bunch of things - such as a missing portion of the original blank or a piece that came out. I think I see a peeled up tear on the rim of the flaw so now I'm leaning to a lamination (planchet flaw). If you take a photo of the edge I'll know for sure.

Put some acetone on the reverse and see if the "yellow" comes off. Don't rub the Q-tip, roll it.

 

I don't have it in hand yet. One of them comes in the mail today and I got another on feebay for $33 5min ago. I'll post pics in a min.

 

Die clashing on this one. Slightly off center. Looks MS but the pics were/are blurry. I took a chance at $33.

Uh oh.... I can sense what's happening here, do you need a (fix) atleast once a week OP?
Do you get a rush, pulsating through your veins, every time you buy a silver dollar???
Especially when they are in UNC condition?

My suggestion- count to 10, inhale thru your nose and exhale out of your mouth , everytime you get the urge to buy a shiny new silver disc, it will work for a while but, eventually, you WILL give in to the cravings, I use to be like you, so I know exactly what you are going through ....

 

I buy AU too. Do you have a fix for that issue too. If you can create a time machine to fix mint errors then you could solve my addictions.

 

Just wait until you get into VAMming

 

No thank you. O-chem was enough for me.

 

You'll never look at a Morgan or Peace Dollar in same light.

 

I don't think we ever discussed what was wrong with this coin... the one from 1883.

 

Mis-aligned dies and maybe a pmd wipe or scuff around United. A touch overdipped too maybe. Bad pics though

 

I think I bought both of them. Gosh, I don't remember what I did yesterday. Hmmm. I suspose when the mailman makes deliveries next week I'll share what I bought, or won't share what I didn't buy.
