    By no means an expert on these issues, but with only a handful known, would I be wrong to assume only one pair of dies used? If so, wouldn't these die lines/marks be attributable to the die pair used and be needed? Just asking. Photo from CoinFacts.

    Too many guys, too many combinations.

    It’s not special.

    Note the difference in the bust point in the pair the op just provided.

    Good eye Dan, so much with the obverse, I never spent time on the reverse.

    They do not look remotely like the same coin. 0% chance it is a proof. So many differences that are very obvious.

    I mean, not really if you take the time to look at the actual lines like front the dies themselves, the structures urea match up, so please I know the color of the coin does not appear to be the same. I’m asking you to go beneath surface level.

    Come on, mate. No one likes to have their parade rained on but now you’re just being silly. Or a troll.

    Smitten with DBLCs.

    Not exactly sure what enjoyment there is in trying litigate the classification and grade outcome of this coin here… just send it to our host… post the result and be prepared to accept the verdict.

    In the meantime, we can look forward to the old war nickel thread followed by the cold war nickel thread.

    I agree totally. Sending the coin in for encapsulation will end all of this.

    There is an unfortunate amount of non-productive back and forth here.

    Your coin is from a different reverse die than the low-relief proof you are comparing it to. In 1922 there were reverses with 3 distant mountains and reverses with two.


    I was about to point that out as well. The thickness of the rim is completely off too, even accounting for wear. I've had some very stubborn moments in life but even I know better than to argue with @dcarr about something like this.

    Very rarely do super rare coins surface by accident. Probably the only way that would happen would be if a major collectors coins by accident ended up getting foolishly dumped by surviving relatives.

    CONGRATS on your awesome find. Did you happen to count the rays between the legs and tail feathers?

    Could you give us a weight and see if you can lift it with a magnet?

    We think you should submit it to PCGS. Then we will all know.

    Honestly, I’m just upset with everyone telling me it’s a fake because how can you fake 26.7 and 90/10?

    Ask the Canton mint.

    this isn’t just some average schmuck that I had it verified by,

    Above average, eh?

    and it’s so funny how everyone
    doesn’t give a crap about anyone
    else’s coins, but their own,

    No fair, I like most coins that I see here more than my own.

    so yeah keep being miserable with
    your own coins/opinions because
    trust me, your coins are probably
    fake too.

    I am, but you ought not rub it in.

    Amazing find. I had no idea they are worth so much. Do you have to use the walkthrough or rarities service level?

    I would complain to PCGS, a walkthrough shouldn't take a month!

    How about those submission

    Figures you’re coin collector since you can’t get over the past..

    Considering some of the bologna you’ve posted, I can understand why you’d want to ignore the past.

    The dirt on the one on the right makes it stand out more. Optical illusion that it's a special strike.
