Just show I'm I have been keeping up I got some whole coin pictures. This GSA is in the big plastic Carson City Holder, its not easy getting a good close up shoot

Will this topic has been interesting. I'm trying to learn how to use my new toy an amscope MU1803 but still cant figure to get whole coin on screen. The measurements on pic are real close I calibrated the scoop before doing so. Couldn't find spec on Morgan reed, height, width, spacing etc.... it wasn't even in my copy of Allen's encyclopedia of morgan & peace dollars. At a guess I'd say .003mm wide at base. Were the 1882 CC GSA coins found in mixed coin bags. I don't remember reading so

As always thanks all yall for your time, I learn every time I come this place. I thought of a bag mark but reading of the history of these coins I thought that it would take more than bag damage but if a whole bag took a fall, would without a doubt leave marks But the wound is small and if in a bag you would I think to see more hit and sliding damage. But a fall of one coin into another with enough accelerated force could cause one coin to hit hard enough to ricochet with out causing more damage Thanks RWB I never thought of a fall in such a way and with a little movement could make the metal expand causing the reed or teeth of the coin seem wider than normal It seems gravity really can be a planchet buster

Hello Again & Happy fudge day I have a 1882 cc gsa coin in plastic holder I didn't post pics of the whole coin as my question pertains to just one mark I have seen similar marks on other coins and meant to study a bit on them. Could yall give me a lead into the right path. Does it have a name? the damage is so localized without collateral damage to the area around it. The teeth marks seem to large to be from another coin Thank You Boaz's Brother Daniel

Sorry: Sandon , Just Bob, Fenntucky Mike, Powermad5000 I thought yall were making fun of me becose when I first posted this topic I did not proof read as will as I should have and had wrote (no date) instead of (no mint mark) which I went back and corrected 3 hours later if you would like to check Thanks I've had a good time with this post

You mean you can see a date?!

Thanks to all yall for the replies and thoughts Being a Morgan Man & an old silver hound-dog. I did not know of the No Date Penny until about 3 days ago. With morgans the amount of info on them are galaxy filling, I tried to make the penny match what I thought it should instead of just following the clues / fact like Nick & Nora Charles to solve the mystery Thanks Daniel

Thanks that helped a lot, I found I could not add the notes on the online form but if I downloaded the PDF it allowed me to type the notes in this place Thanks Daniel

Powermad5000 Thanks for the tip on the pictures Sandon Thanks for post it was great, what you said made what I have read and seen click. I finally saw where I had gone wrong in my thinking

Hello I hope that all yall are this afternoon I would like your help with one of the 1983 penny (no mint mark) I found in grandma's old coins This is were you say to your self. Self this coin has part of the errors for DD rev Obvers ? But it doesn't have all the errors contributed to this type of coin. So is it real or fake" Concerning pictures: these are the best I can do. I'm using iPhone and scanner. My C-mount microscope camera Amscope 5m stopped working after 10 year and don't know which one to replace it with yet (if you a recommendation let me know) THE COIN: On the front shows a nice coin no doubling or errors, except at the rim at 11 o'clock The back shows the letters worn down and nearly whole top area is ruff and blurry with the E in E-Pluribus Unum being worn down with motto being flattened The A in STATE is slightly doubled The top of the F in OF AMERICA is doubled across top of serfs but AM doubled most The right out side edge of the monument is slightly doubled If there's is further doubling things are such bad shape to be undetectable Thanks Daniel

Thank All Yall for your reply's they have been helpful I have another Cent that has shinny places after each number and mint mark trying to learn what that means but finding an example to match ant always easy thanks daniel
