    Nice find Hinkle, a true Double Struck. Nice seeing a real one instead of all the “vise” coins we see that people think are double struck.
  2. Greenstang
    More pictures don’t help unless you tell us what we are supposed to be looking for.
  3. Greenstang
    True but Late Die Stages are different from a polished die. You could include the 3 Leg Buffalo in that category if you are looking at polished dies.
  4. Greenstang
    The value is about the same for a 1982D large date for copper or zinc so it doesn't really matter which it is unless you want to know for your own purpose.
  5. Greenstang
    Late Die Stages are a die event and add no value to the coin.

    I have several clashed silver dollars but I did not buy them for the clashes, I bought them for the coin itself.

    Not an error, looks like a stain of some sort. Notice how it just shows in the lower areas.
  8. Greenstang
    Please explain where you see an error so we may help you. Also it is best to start a new thread for each coin as it gets confusing with more than one at a time.

    Basically there are only 4 years and 7 varieties to look for so it shouldn’t be too hard to remember.

    From what I understand, during the end of the 1992 run of cents, the Reverse dies wore out so instead of producing new dies, the new CAM reverses from 1993 were used to finish the run. This would explain the rarity of a 1992 CAM. As far as the 1998,1999 & 2000 varieties, I can only guess that a wrong reverse die was used for a run. or two. This might explain the fact they are more common. Perhaps someone else may have a better answer.

    Don’t mind at all Hoghead, this is why I posted it.

    All 2005 P and D mint are CAM. It is the S mint that is a WAM. There are no varieties. I have shown this graph before. Keep it in your file for future reference

    I.cutler nailed it, have seen this numerous times. It has had an “acid bath” which will eat the copper core away before the nickel. Weighing it should show that it is lighter.

    To me the coin looks like it is DDD. I think the fact the mint is using dies long after the “expiry date” has a lot to do with the poor quality of some of the coins.

    Welcome to the Forum Yours is also just damage, worth 10 cents If you knew the minting process, you would realize that what you have is impossible to happen during the striking of the coin.
  16. Greenstang
    It is just damaged. Something has gouged the neck. Probably only worth bullion value now
  17. Greenstang
    It is one of the better dates, 1925 is the best date with slightly over a million struck. I would give yours a grade of VF20

    Here are a couple of my Canadian silver bullion coins, a Bison and Grey Wolf

    One interesting fact about Dan Carr is that, whether you call his coins reproductions or counterfeits, is that he is allowed to sell them on eBay. Anyone else would have the listings removed as it is against eBay policy to sell counterfeits or reproductions.

    And that photo is not completely accurate. On the MD, it gives the appearance of the lower portion being curved when it should be straight down like a true step.
  21. Greenstang
    Looks like two of the E’s are also partially filled
  22. Greenstang
    Nice retained lam

    Your right VKurt, typo on my part. I was even looking at the composition when I typed it out. Must be getting old.
  24. Greenstang
    Duplicate post
  25. Greenstang
    We really need to see a photo of both sides of your coin before commenting. Is it graded by one of the top graders or is it your own assumtion?
