My narrow 00's is a 64. The following round 00's is a 62. If it wasn't for the rim bump it would be a 64.   |

tfred..too bad about the deep rim hit....but beautiful soft frosty surfaces showing well.. I wish I could have better captured the frosty surfaces of mine. I find that the full sun in the coin gives a faster shutter speed and therefore sharper pics,..but the frosty surface causes the coins to reflect the sun back and it dazzles the coin surface in many of the pics. Too bright and reflective in many in my attempt to get the sharpest possible pic. I then click on the contrast for variety details and the colours deepen somewhat in a negative way.. Hey!!.. nobodies perfect.. One of my 00's was graded a touch higher(63) by ICCS back in the 90's when my collection was done and the other was graded 64. These were never cheap at the auctions I was attending back in the 80's,..if you wanted it...it was quite simple...keep your paddle up..or you might not get a chance for another.. Tomorrow will be an "extra vicky day" where anything vicky goes.  I'll add a different view of one of my early favorites already here. Here is my 01..enjoy..     . . Edited by DEVLEC

Here's a repeat and tough one in high MS grade at a different angle to better see the die crack across the center. They probably worked the vicky dies to failure.. Thanks to all who helped make this thread continue to 1901.. ..an RP-2  . . Edited by DEVLEC

47P7 ..Saving the best for the last..Woo..Hoo.!!.. ...and another great RP-2 showing here from 47P7. A great and perfect scan. Can you add the obverse for us to  over..? Here's a repeat of my obverse from page 1..to balance everything here.. Interesting how these large dates were often flattish in the center.. but yours looks much stronger here.. Thanks to all again.!! A great vicky ride for sure..and don't be shy to add some more here...  .. . . Edited by DEVLEC

 Re-punched right 8 and I suspect the bottom H may also be re-punched. DEVLEC raises the bar again. WOW! |

Bumped. There was a very nice 1900 5 cent Large date (Re-punched Round Zero) coin pic that has since lost its link. I decided to put up my example for reference. I had this coin for over 4+ years.    |
