Re: Roosevelt Dime 1995P Obverse Mint Strike Error

I feel I need to add one final thought. We had a gentleman who not so long ago post his coin on this board, and said he had a mule clash. He did not want believe what he was told and did not bother to look up what a mule clash was. Everybody told this individual that it was a Clashed Die. Well he d...

A heads up for you: Since NONE of the experts who replied on this coin have it in their hands, they CANNOT arbitrarily say it has glue or was glued together. What you see is not what I feel! I respect your opinions, but as a novice I see and FEEL a mint damaged coin. Thanks Chuck Some of us on here ...

It must be a doubled die before you look for die markers. Die markers don't mean a coin is a doubled die.

I see what you mean after looking at yours and the DDR-004 link. There are a lot of similarities and it looks a bit different than most machine doubled coins I have seen. I guess we shall see what the experts say cuz I am not one of them haha

Re: 1967 5c Machine doubling?

I see a hint of reflect doubling in your images. Of course, if the "Descriptor" identification numbers, do not match exactly … Then it is not that variety. Nickels are a very difficult doubling attribution, or I should say most are. They have such a minor spread, that they really need to ...

Re: 20?? Shield Cent Zinc Rot? Does Anyone Have Any Idea?

I would like to be corrected here if I am wrong, but due to the definition of a delamination, I do not think that term can apply to a Zincoln.

Hello and Welcome ! I will tell you what, the penny is worn and therefore weighs less than the approximate weight of 3.11g . The .60g or so less is about the weight of a post-it to give you an idea of the difference . Here is a chart for tolerances ( click to enlarge) ----
