My favorite, which I paid a premium for because of the die cracks:

Hey rawmorgan: If you're going to use VAMWorld photos, please give us credit!

960 overstri...CRACK!

<< Hey rawmorgan: If you're going to use VAMWorld photos, please give us credit! >>

Seriously, if your joking or being sarcastic then OK, but

it's my coin, and these are the HA photos from the Aug 2010 auction.

Now if you supplied the photos to Heritage then your right, but it was never stated in the auction description.

Here's the link

LOL. On the contrary, VAMWorld is the one ripping off the photo in this case. Whoops.

Edit: I'm assuming VAMWorld doesn't have permission to use the HA photos.

No I'm not joking. Are you joking? We use those photos with special permission from Heritage.

And I seriously doubt it's your coin. Prove it! Take another photo you bum!

stealer · September 25, 2012 6:54AM

Wolf, why do you care so much if the forum member owns the coin or not? Just leave the poor guy alone. Does it rustle you so badly that someone with a low post count on the forums owns a nice coin?

Best I ca ndo on short notice. Notice the "prove it" from the above thread above the slab.

You can check the cert number with the heritage auction.

rawmorgan · September 25, 2012 7:02AM

Hyperion I apologize for the hijacking of your thread.

And for Wolf359's manners

I hope your day got better and the stress was short lived.

Catbert · September 25, 2012 7:04AM

Wolf359 · September 25, 2012 7:15AM

Ok good you own the own the coin.

So next time credit VAMWorld - or Heritage. Thank you.

<< And for Wolf359's manners >>

I'm thinking that this exchange could have occured through PM instead of such an outburst complete with name calling.

This thread was supposed to be a stress reliever!

Southcounty · September 25, 2012 9:23AM

You would think an apology would be the very least the guy could give the "bum" in this case.

JRocco · September 25, 2012 9:49AM

Die cracks ?
Behold The Wrath of God

lkeigwin · September 25, 2012 9:57AM

Back on track.

The 1832 large letters is easily identified by the huge reverse die break.
Lance.

JRocco · September 25, 2012 10:00AM

Nice broken bird Lance
Here's another

lkeigwin · September 25, 2012 10:00AM

Wow. That's a train wreck, JRocco!
Lance.

Hyperion · September 25, 2012 10:05AM

thanks for pulling it back to the OT!

and JRocco... holy crow!!!!!

jayPem · September 25, 2012 10:25AM

I like this one....

ThePennyLady · September 25, 2012 10:52AM

I love die cracks, shattered dies, retained cuds, and especially terminal dies - they give coins such character. Here are a few of mine...

JRocco · September 25, 2012 12:37PM

1818 O-115a

OnWithTheHunt · September 25, 2012 2:34PM

Got the bright idea of trying to do a die progression with all the "cracked skull" 1915-Ds I was seeing on ebay a while back. Quickly realized they are all different.

LotsoLuck · September 25, 2012 3:09PM

<< Die cracks ?

For me this is one of the most mind blowing coins I have ever seen on this here board.

Hyperion · September 25, 2012 10:44PM

I finally found a coin that I can personally, definitively tell that the marks are "raised" on the surface and not recessed

Hyperion · September 25, 2012 10:44PM

Terrific Penny Lady!!!! Yeow!

TwoSides2aCoin · September 25, 2012 10:53PM

Few produce such desireables that are the by-product of failed equipment during manufacture, like those places who mint coins. It's not like we clamor for a faulty tire, or cracked concrete, or broken zipper in clothin (on the contrary). But screw up a coin and we go running after them. I'm guilty, too
