Re: 1976D Bicentennial Quarter DDO-001!

Pahl could you please explain what that means or is it what Daniel responded with? I know a doubled die when I see one, but I haven't started mastering the types yet. I also tried checking the population reports on Anacs for this one, but they are having trouble setting up my account. PCGS has grade...

Re: 1976D Bicentennial Quarter DDO-001!

I can try and get the pics tonight. Are you just looking for clearer pics of those areas or die markers? It will help me figure out what to look for and focus on. I dont have the cherrypicker for quarters so I dont know what the die markers are for the different die stages for this coin.

I still can't believe I found this tonight. Just going through some quarter and BAM there it was. I could barely take pictures. Let me know what you guys think on the grade, if the picture are clean enough for one.

Sadly I had a few Presidential Rolls from the bank, but I'm pretty sure I got rid of them all for face value. They weren't selling over face at the time and being in college and poor didn't make it easy to hoard them

1959D Interesting spot in date

I almost immediately wrote this off as strike doubling, but I wanted to get a second opinion. In hand it appears to be very shelf like unlike strike doubling. No other elements seem to exhibit this doubling. I'd love to hear any opinions or thoughts on this one guys. http://i920.photobucket.com/albu...

Re: New macro shot setup

Well I can't say I've found a coin that I care that much about wear. I don't really search BU coins, but I do use a small piece of a cereal box to set the coin on the platform and then it allows me to move it around easily.

I spent the afternoon working on a new setup for taking macro shots of coins. What do you guys think? I have an external light source with a dimmer switch, but not hooked up. It's going to need some more tweaking and I think I can get along better with out it. http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47...

Re: 1969D No FG question

I have one that has some potential, but I'm thinking it might just be a greased filled strike. If all the details are sharp and still no fg is that a good sign for the real deal?

Was this error from a overpolished die, or grease filled or were the initials completely left off the die somehow?

1969D No FG question

Hi guys I just picked up a cherrypickers guide finally. It has some neat varieties and one that I've never looked for is the 1969D no FG. I was just curious if anybody knows how rare these are or how strong the collectors market is for them?

I think I see a slight version of the die mark on your coin. Just remember these have die stages and states, so they might not look exactly like the pictures. Your coin could be EDS (early die state) and Stage A,B,C or LDS (Late Die State) and a certain stage. The MDS is medium die state so they al...
