Re: Lincoln with no ear? Looks like he's wearing a helmet..

Appears to me to be environmental damage. Stains and corrosion. Don't see any doubling.

Re: Sal's 1960D LC RPM

Looks like it may be an RPM#3. There were so may rpm's for 1960 it sometimes takes a lot of research to attribute.

Re: Sal's RD Error

Just an opinion, but with the dull surfaces, pitting and the apparent erosion of the copper layer it appears that this occurred as post strike damage. Possibly some sort of acid dip.

Re: Answer riddles to win a roll of Wheat Cents or two

1). 1912-S Liberty V Nickel and the 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent - Lowest mintages in their series 2). 1916-D Mercury Dime and the 1914-D Lincoln Cent - Both are highly counterfeited or faked 3). 1937D Three Leg Buffalo - Polishing to remove clash marks also removed the leg. Don't know if I am on the rig...

Re: 1860 Indian Head Cent Variety?

These appear to me as random hits. I see several of them on the obverse and reverse of the coin. Those on the ribbon also do not match up with the angle of the diamonds lines.

Is the coin inside a flip or encased in something. If so the photos would probably be a lot better if it wasn't. Sorry hard to tell.

Re: Why haven’t you bought at eBay for awhile? Let Us Know W

I have to say none of the above. I used to buy but stopped when it became required to use paypal for coins. I used to send out several postal money orders a week but that all came to an end and I have not bought anything from there since. I did not have nor do I now have paypal. It just seems that's...

Re: Is this a rotated die error?

The minimal amount that it is rotated would add no significance to the coins value. This is a date/mint that I have not found to add to my collection yet. However I do not actively collect mercury dimes. Nice one.

Yes this is mine. I took this photo today. I do not grade well but I believe this is an MS-64.

This is kind of getting away from the origional intent of this thread and I am still looking for my copy of a 1946S inverted MM. When/if I find it I will post a photo of it as well.

Re: 1946 S 1C Inverted Mintmark

Wrong mint mark style for the known inverted mint mark. The position of the mm does not look the same as the OMM S/S/D. In my opinion.
