I feel like I have seen more error coins from 1999 than any other year…for Jeffs anyway. Not sure what was going on at the mints at that time. Maybe millennium madness. Hijinks or Tom foolery perhaps. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post J P M Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2023 This came in today and I was hoping it would be a gold colored UC .I think it is cool looking. I have seen this color on some mint sets I have bought in the past. powermad5000, Lem E, ldhair and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lem E Posted October 30, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) This one arrived today. The original intent was to crack this piece out for the Dansco album but the holder is in such nice condition that I can’t bring myself to crack it out. I might have to find a different piece for the Dansco.

The Gemological Institute has made it virtually impossible to sell or traffick in stolen diamonds or gems. Automakers, gunmakers, airline manufacturers stamp or emboss their products in secret locations. The same mix of forensic scientific signatures can be used to conclusively determine the true provenance and all past and present owners of a coin. It may not happen in our lifetimes, but it is the wave of the future. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Introduced as a Topic. Obviously I do not feel the ethical obligation. In my defense, I do consider this a type of documentation for my set and have kept every label. I’m sure most of them just end up in the trash. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lem E Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Picked up another couple of RPMs for the collection. The first one is this 1942 S/S VP-004 / CONECA RPM-004. The repunch went north leaving just a little of the first impression peeking out of the bottom. The image from variety plus also shows the die crack. There has to be some without it too out there. rrantique and powermad5000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lem E Posted November 3, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 Here is the other one. 1943 P/P VP-007 / CONECA RPM-004. One of the many RPMs for the Philly 5 cent coins of 43. Repunched northeast of the first punch. This is the 2nd P/P example in my collection with the other being the VP-008.

Popular Post R__Rash Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 Following up on the “crack out” @Lem E post, and response I made to post by @J P M and @Sandon where I stated, in jest, that I had never spent a penny for a nickel, came to an epiphany when seeing the Crack out” post. I have not ever paid directly for a nickel but have indirectly purchased nickels in proof and mint sets allowing me to accumulate coins that I really do not collect but have to protect after the crack out from a different type of slab/package. hope you all can appreciate this in one way or another. 66-67 sms/68 to 97 proofs…. rrantique, J P M, The Neophyte Numismatist and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
