Re: Die Cracks VS. RPM
Daniel is correct on all counts here.What people do on eBay is not a good way to learn if you are serious about coins or learning.There are plenty of coin websites to learn from.

Re: Die Cracks VS. RPM
That's true Daniel..and also in the name of helping the OP...the CPG is a listing of die varieties...as stated on the cover...that is why there are no errors in it.

Re: Die Cracks VS. RPM
I'll have to disagree on one point Daniel. Die cracks are errors,not varieties.But agree that a progressive run is probably the most sought after,especially if it is pre-cud (rim to rim). Also progressive chips are sometimes a good collector item. Filled mms are usually the result of a broken mm pun...

Re: Die Cracks VS. RPM
That is a big list of questions but I'll answer a few. First, the CPG lists varieties,not errors. Varieties are repeated because they are on the die and stay the same thru the life of the die. Errors can vary and are not always part of the die so they cannot be cataloged or priced as easily as a var...

Re: Incredible Error Coin for Sale
Incuse would be "sunken" as opposed to "raised".
Yes the coin is real,it just appears to be opposite of what it should.But that happens sometimes with pictures. I'm also told he has been posting this coin for several years like this as an attention grabber.

Grease filled dies are pretty common and since they are not a defect in the die,every one could be considered unique.Not sure about pricing,but I save a few for examples and the rest I give away.

Re: 1946 S 1C Inverted Mintmark
I guess the important thing to remember here is that a variety is produced by a die. When it has a MM, the placement of that MM will be exactly the same from coin to coin. Yes, there is the possibility of more than one die being produced with an OMM, but in this case,there is only one known die. As ...

Yes, you can send directly to ANACS..but sending to Wexler is the safest bet as these are only bringing around $35 right now. If they make it into the CPG, that would change. Wexler will also attribute the die number which is a plus. Keep in mind that I am not saying this is an RDV-006 so Wexler can...

Re: The bes1969-S has some company 1971-D Lincoln ddo/ddr.
Actually, die markers can be missing on different die states. The MM location is a good indicator but the OP's pics should be oriented correctly to make a good match. It does appear to have extra thickness on IGTW...but pics are a little fuzzy to say for sure.
