Ah... I wasn't trying to be rude so I hope you didn't take it that way... I was genuinely confused and I asked what you meant... I now understand so thanks for the clarification

I'm so confused... what does this have to do with the West Point Quarter? I suck at understanding comparisons

Thank you so much! Good thing I didn't get my hopes up too high!

So, I was looking at my West Point Quarters under a microscope and noticed something weird on all of them.... They have incused doubling... Is this common? Or do I have something special? (I'm pretty doubtful). Here's the most extreme example I found in my collection...

I respect your view on that... I was going to watch the video up until I saw your post so I'd rather not be fed false info from YT and then absorb that info thinking it's true... so thank you for that! Plus I'm a Peace Dollar collector and I don't want to know false info that I may later spew out confusing it for something true that I heard... I already have a bad memory, no need to make it worse -UD04

I am part of the generation that is losing reading/writing capabilities... That is Gen Z... It's sad to see that A LOT of my peers have horrible penmanship, can't read or write, and can't even speak or write in proper grammar... I'm one of the odd ones out since I purposely take the time to train myself proper grammar. There are some things that I've learned to do in school such as speaking proper grammar... While I don't have the best penmanship, mine is definitely legible. I know you older folks look down in shame at how the newer generation has grown, and it's not good, in fact it's extraordinarily sad. I wish the schools would try harder in making this stuff work and I wish there were limits on how social media is accessed since, this is how and why people have no want or need to learn to read and write. Now, onto YouTube.... YouTube is a very untrustworthy platform but I've learned how to tell the difference between real and fake, and yet, I still get fooled from time to time. That said, people with lesser knowledge of this still get fooled. For example, when the COVID-19 pandemic started, there were tons of videos going around about "How to cure (or protect) yourself from COVID" and people would be drinking bleach...then they'd believe it, try themselves, and end up in the hospital or worse. There were also people saying COVID was just a government hoax and people believed it thinking COVID was completely fake... No, no it's not... Those are just a few examples of how gullible people can be... You really need to be vigilant on YouTube and if you see a "fact" there, you may need to fact check it. I watched a video just yesterday on the evolution of Earth. The person in the video said that humans evolved from monkeys and this has been proven to be false by scientists, and, since I knew this to be false already kind of just brushed it off... But my point is (like many people on this thread have said before) don't believe everything you see on YouTube... fact checking this or any video is the best thing to do ESPECIALLY if it came from a source known for its "Tom Foolery."

I'm so freakin' excited for it to come out... I'm hoping to get one during the pre-sale... Are you guys planning on buying one?

Alright! Thank you!

Nice! Can you post it?

I can't really tell since I can't measure it but compared to the other penny (as shown in the 2nd picture) it's considerably thinner than a regular penny

I could be wrong but I see DDO... On "Liberty'

Looks cleaned... And is damaged... bag marks

I found this 1938 Wheat Penny in my change jar but there's something weird about it... It's severely underweight, extraordinarily thin, but still has all of it's details... Is this an example of a thin planchet? And if so, what's it worth? If not, was this dipped in acid and still somehow retained all of its details?

I looked at it before I posted and I believe it's RPM-015

Wow... That's the best argument I've heard so far... And I 100% agree... I am all for D. Carr's coins... All it comes down to is the fact that he's an artist!

I just got a new microscope and you'll never believe what I found! Small date 1982 D penny... AND a 1945-P RPM!

WHAT IN THE HELL DID I JUST WATCH!!! XD

Alright! I just don't want to create a problem on my first couple weeks of being here... I've already created enough problems on other forums

Yeah... I noticed that with this thread... should I have it shut down so it doesn't spark an argument? I'm reading through other forums on people's views on his coins and (I didn't realize this until just now) but his work is very much disliked

I don't know... I just enjoy his coins, though many don't, I can't not look at the beauty...

Fair enough... no argument there!

Fair enough... I guess it all comes down to opinion... There are MANY coin collectors like you that don't like anything NOT minted by the U.S. or other government mint... In my opinion I like to look at the "what could've been" side of coin collecting... well, token collecting in this matter... I absolutely understand where you're coming from

Not a counterfeit... It's a fantasy token
