Re: Buffalo 2 feathers...........does anyone care?
They are overpolished dies, juat like the 37D buffalo with the missing leg. There are a lot of other anomalies caused by overpolished dies that nobody cares about, like throatless Lincolns and raised roof Lincolns just to name a couple. I guess some catch on, others don't. As for the feather stuff - I think there are too… -
Re: 2007-D Lincoln off center error for $212?!
Major off-center errors went the way of the Edsel when the Mint converted from their old vertically-oriented coining equipment to new Schuller presses with horizontal die alignment. In English, that means instead of the dies moving up and down to strike coins, they now move side to side. So in the past, where a misfed… -
Re: When were football cards released during the early 1980s?
Well, the reason I ask is because of this card. Joe Delaney died in late June of 1983. Consequently there is no way this autograph could be real. (And yes, common sense says football cards wouldn't have been released until late summer/early fall.) -
Re: How will Mr. Moy be remembered by collectors in the future?
I'm a collector and I will always remember Mr Moy as the USM Director from Wisconsin who knows the person(s) responsible for tampering with the WI Quarter dies at the die shop in the Fall of 2004 but won't disclose the info. to us in the hobby. Way to go, Mr.Coy !! -

Re: 2011-P Roosevelt Dime Underweight & Undersized? (1.7g / 16.5mm)
Your hypothesis about discoloration and melting of metal from a rotary tool is flat out false. I have personally used a rotary tool on a clad coin and none of those things happened. -
Re: New Baby Picture!
I think its STUNNING~ Ill take that coin anyday over a DCAM Kennedy Half Dollar. ....or any such analogy. Take a good close look at that piece, notice carefully the planchet fields in the area near the O in Auctori. See how it laminates down, and then the O is actually very well formed on TOP of the overall planchet… -
Re: Great Top 100 VAM won on eBay
Watched a tape about 1830's US coinage where they claimed the pitting was due to the die literally detiorating and falling apart, not rusted. But for Morgan dollars, the claim is Rusted dies from water/moisture laying in the die. That's why it only appears on the reverse and never on the obverse. -
Re: Is this die deterioration or something else? <----Look an actual coin question! :D
I'd bet the three fell heads up onto the bottom of the collection container where the coins are kicked out of the exact same dies. The obverse sides then took repeated hits from other coins falling on top of them while the reverse was protected face down. -
