The Type 1 Liberty Head One Dollar measures a mere 13.0 mm in diameter.so yep it's smaller in diameter but the 3 cent silver weighs less.

Where is @GBrad when you need him? Hey Lem. Thank you for the nice comment. I can see what looks like possible extra thickness in IGWT, but as QA said, it could very well just be some flattening from circulation. Just too difficult to make a call based on the pictures. The mint mark placement appears to be very close in its placement and orientation (maybe a bit low though) for the variety you mentioned, but still too difficult of call to make. Regardless, that is one nice find in the wild!! RonnieR131 and Lem E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means am I saying this is not a DDO, it very well could be. I’m on my phone at the moment, waiting at the docs office…. what fun🙄…., and had a little more time to look at @CoffeeTime’s coin a little better. Wish I was on my laptop cause these phone pics get pixelated. The one thing I have noticed as a characteristic, or diagnostic if you will, of this year and mint DDO’s is the appearance of the E in WE. The bottom bar of the E seems to be noticeably lower in comparison to the bottom of the W than that of a non-variety for this year and mint. Just an observation I thought I’d throw out there. The E on the author’s coin does appear to have quite a bit of excess material on the bottom bar which is definitely consistent with the variety you mentioned. I say this regardless of the amount of potential circulation wear that this coin has seen simply due to what appearance to be an abundance of metal there. Best advice is to seek a good professional coin dealer versed in varieties and have them look at it. Best of luck cofeetime as I LOVE ME SOME GOOD OL’ DOUBLED DIES!!!!!😁 RonnieR131 and Lem E 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sandon Posted August 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 Here's an uncertified 1864-S Seated half dollar that I purchased last weekend at a local coin show. The large "S" and the small lump on the left side of the top of the "D" in "DOL." identify it as a WB-1. The dealer graded it VF. I would consider it to be F-VF by the standards I learned in the 1970s, but it's probably a VF 30-35 by the standards used by grading services today. It would probably be numerically graded despite some slight edge damage and surface issues, but it's going into an album with most of the rest of my Seated half collection. (The ones in NGC or PCGS slabs are in my Seated half dollar registry set.) AcesKings, Coinbuf, ShinyObjects and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking they used to be very discreet about their "interpretations," but this one had TWO OUNCES, or some such device emblazoned right across the bottom reverse. Frankly, I didn't like it. (Sorry I can't provide a link. I'm just not that smart.) CoinJockey73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 80s Kid Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 It's been a while since I've posted anything here but I have a bunch of new coins and finally started getting some of my existing coins back from grading (but not all). I'll see how many I can include in one post but I don't remember the most efficient way(s) of attaching photos within the NGC Chat Boards. For starters, I'll try some photos of an 1886 5C MS64 and 1955 1C DDO in MS62 BN.

Popular Post 80s Kid Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2022 I love the Barber Half Dollar Series and have been trying to hunt down a suitable 1914 Proof for several years and finally found one in PF65. The NGC Slab is pretty beat up so it's difficult to take photos. I'm thinking that this coin could be a candidate for conservation but I have zero experience using this service. Another coin I bought, a 1983 S "No S" 10C, has a weird film over about half of the obverse and I'm wondering if this would be a good candidate as well? I was conflicted as to whether I should purchase the coin and ultimately decided to go for it with the thought process being these "No S" coins are scarce enough to justify the purchase. (I'm not saying my opinion is accurate, but it was my opinion at the time.) RonnieR131, ShinyObjects, rrantique and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
