You mean like “yinz” near Pittsburgh? Or “youse” near Philly?

I haven't heard of "yinz" but I have heard "youse" being used.

Question: is either of these words ever used to refer to one person? That is the thing that movie and television writers don't seem to understand about "You-all" and "Y'all." They are not used in the South to refer to one person - always to two or more.

“Yalls”?

It is a perfectly legitimate word referring to something belonging to a group of people, either individually or collectively.

I do read such books, but not often. For example, I've read Red Whitman guide books in the last years. Also I read Jefferson Nickels books, and I think that's all.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Doesn't go thru the design so it could be either one.

Debris between the surfaces of the die and hub will conform to the shape of the raised areas of the hub and be pressed into the recessed areas of the die.  That would mean the it would show up on the highest part of the design, as well as the field. Kurt explained it, and Roger confirmed it, but here is the description on error ref.

Just found out this could also be a hubbed-in debris error..

I don't see how.

I think you may have broken the record for Longest Title to a Thread.

That's a lot of nice looking proofs.

WHT could possibly do that though you can see the double dies and extra letters in it

Punctuation and capitalization are your friends.

I am not a grader, but when I very first started dealing coins (on occasion), I tried wearing white cotton gloves.  What a big mistake!  One of the first things I did was drop a proof Liberty nickel (not in any kind of holder) on the floor because the smooth edge made it impossible to hold securely.  Imagine the look of horror on my customer's face!  Never made that mistake again.

Yikes! 

 I am glad to see that this one was genuine and straight graded. Congrats!

It is as stated in the above posts. Just to the left of the date you will see a tiny letter "R" incused into the surface. That signifies "replica."

In April, a 1492 Sovereign, King Henry VII, went to auction in Japan. NGC sent out a nice information notice about this coin.

 

 

 

What was the hammer price? Did you bid?

The amount and placement of the lines on this coin are distracting to me. I feel the same way about planchet adjustment marks on early dollars.

And while we’re at it, be careful with the word “smooshed”. It will only confuse the elongate collectors. /yep, more sarcasm

Don't worry. We will just switch over to calling them "squished" and keep on trucking.

What is "die bleed"?

The purchase price is not stated. Let's hope it was a lot less than the $4,000+ shown in a previous post.

Good decisions come from knowledge, not prayers.

She revealed the price that she paid in a different thread. It was a lot less than 4k, but more than I would want to lose. It was, however, cheap enough that red flags should have been flying all around her. You don't  buy a legitimate 1795 dollar for under $300 - even in AG.

Never, ever buy another coin on Etsy. It is one of the most frequently used sites for the sale of counterfeit coins. As stated, your coin is a well-known fake.

I am sorry you got taken. That was a very expensive lesson learned. I hope you have some way to get your money back. 

Lots of parallel hairlines all over the surfaces of the coin. That one would not get a straight grade at a major grading service, or from a knowledgeable collector.
