  1. I see the die crack above e pluribus unum, however I also see doubling in the O N and C of one cent. Rotational I was thinking…
  2. Eagle from Natty Bumpo chingnachcook times during French occupancy carved upon a 25 centime.
  3. what kind of doubling is on e Pluribus unum?
  4. Exquisite flow lines. Flow lines indicate the coin was struck while molten hot, allowing metal to freely flow while cooling and shaping. Rhodes demonstrates some of the finest craftsmanship for coinage of the b/c era. Does Ngc remove from bezels?
  5. Die polishing is apparent. What is peculiar is the definition of the strike and the devices. Usually a rusted die presents low quality.
  6. Die rust Pitting or roughness appearing on a coin as a result of that coin having been struck by a rusted die. Die state A readily identified point in the life of a coinage die. Dies go through a lifecycle - clashing, being polished, cracking, breaking, etc. These are called die states. [>>>]
  7. Lol lip balm!? I noticed remnants of curls present mid neck, and a recut two in the date.
  8. At first I thought it might be a die bubble… but it’s just too well defined.
  9. What do those little lines indicate. I agree it’s a fake, but does that have to do with the manufacturing process? Weighs 13grams.
  10. The thing that strikes me as off is the machine doubling in the date, and the tiny parallel lines on the surface of the coin… milled?
