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. -
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: 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: Saint-Gaudens $20 & $10 Matte Proof Gold
<< <i> A 1914 $10 they graded Specimen-64 which clearly struck as a proof but which didn't go through the final step of sand-blasting. While neither major service would holder it as proof or specimen, it was obvious. The illustration is not entirely convincing, however the lot description is a confused mishmash of reality… -
Re: Struck thu (Clashed) 1913 Type 1 Buffalo
I was just about to comment on the odd appearance of the marks under the chin. Normally you can decipher some of the letters of EPU, but this looks different on your coin. There are tons of varieties for buffalo nickels- some command a premium and others are just interesting. Clashed dies fall into the interesting category.
