Re: 1955-P Valuable Error?

Thanks appreciate the education, you say common at this size, the bigger they are the better or the smaller lol? Back in the 60s when not much was known by the public about how common occurrences like this were, people did take an interest in this specific die break. But nowadays it's pretty much i...

Re: 2000 S Mint set quarter with odd pattern behind date

Welcome

I see what you're talking about, and it probably could be imaged better to show the exact nature of this anomaly…

This may just be a minor inconsequential planchet issue?
Very minor/inconsequential cladding issue?

Re: 2024 Greatest Generation Uncirculated $5 Gold possible doubling

What had me doubting the machine doubling is that the matt finish carries through on the "shelf" and on the sides of the font. Wouldnt the die scraping at those areas leave a smooth or streaky surface? Would a double struck coin exhibit what is going on here? Also, when i super impose the...
