Almost a full rim, extremely nice. A question, what is the anomaly with the tip of the nose (angled line), never seen that aspect?

It looks like a slice was taken. Not sure what may have caused it.

It may have a full rim. This was shot through the PCGS slab and the gasket is covering part of the rim.

 

PhysicsFan3.14 blatantly called me a "counterfeiter" in this thread.

I have very good grounds to sue for defamation if I want to. And I might want to.

 

 

If he did call you that, he stated his opinion on an open forum among informed numismatists who are debating, and stating their opinions, on a topic of high interest. His opinion is likely not to change any minds or affect your buisness. Lawsuit? Really? Yikes.

 

Best, HT

If?

1917 matte proof buffalo nickel

picked up off of eBay

That will go beautifully with my 1917 MPL.

Sure looks like a proof.

I do have some Red.

Maybe what you are missing is that those "hits/scrapes" you are talking about most definately are not hits or scrapes on the torch. Most coins that I've looked at from the same period have them. They are voids from where the metal didn't fill in the die completely when coin was minted. Had you been looking at the coin in hand, under light, you probably wouldn't have noticed them, but even if u did you would have known right away that they weren't "hits/scrapes". I don't know if any 1964 Kennedy halves exist without those same characteristics to some degree. They are also very commonly found on Franklin halves and especially early Franklin proofs. (50-51 mainly) although common on 53 & later.

 

They are clearly post-strike abrasions/hits. Either we're looking at different coins, or you need to get your eyes checked.

 

Thank you thats absolutely incorrect. Thanks for your pretty red arrows though.... those were exactly what I was talking about NOT BEING HITS, and they still arent.... I'll check my eyes if you go look at some coins... clearly you could use some experience.

 

AHFreak, the red arrows were there the first time I posted that picture on PAGE 2 of this thread. If you would have read the whole thread, you would know that.

 

As for them somehow being pre-strike planchet anomalies, you are simply wrong. As physics-fan has pointed out in his post above this one, that guess fails the logic test for how coins are actually struck between dies.

 

Is it possible the marks are the result of a strike through?

It wouldn't be far fetched to believe Wondercoins submitted this coin. He has stated that in 16+ years he has submitted the better part of one million coins.

Gorgeous coins Mike and Larry!

All is well. I sold too buy some land in my native state of Florida. Time too enjoy the kids and grand kids

Talk about a shocker!! I didn't expect this. It was my pleasure working with you. I hope you'll be sticking around in some capacity.

Meanwhile, family is the most important thing.....Enjoy!!

Nice!!

Continuing with the 1922-D, here is my BN example.

I think the 31-D might be a tougher coin to find nice than the 31-S. A 31-D I used to own:

Thanks Lee. That coin fits into the same category as many of your former beauties. It's one of many I wish I still had.
