The obverse die shows quite a bit of trauma. It's not a really late die state because it doesn't really show that much die wear, but there are cracks all over the place, and signs of heavy polishing, probably to remove clashing. There is die burn all around the bust and a broken nose effect. Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5833 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 01:38 am 1940's and above have many varieties, this will be some of the picture I am uploading here for the first time. 1940 P I need to replace this one from another that I am too lazy to switch for the moment. 1940 D has a semi matte proof-like finish on this one that when I first saw it I thought it was a proof until I flip it over. 1940 S has a proof like field except that it is the mint polish off the nose. Bonus 1: 1940 S/S/S/S FS-501 MS Difficulty in taking extreme close up pictures with my digital camera. Bonus 2: Broadstrike either in high AU or low MS grade, this one is tough to grade. Bonus 3: NGC Proof 66. The toning isn't that strong, but in order to get the reflection off, I have to shot this with low exposure setting. Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 3:47 pm Quote: Moe: Maybe Ikes or Buffaloes next? I like the idea of Ikes but, technically, they're considered Modern US coins versus Classic US coins. The Classics are (In Red have been previously done in a "Days of ..." thread either alone or with another coin type): Half Cents Large Cents Flying Eagle cents Indian cents Two Cents Three Cents Half Dimes Shield nickels Liberty V nickels Buffalo nickels Mercury Dimes Twenty Cents Standing Liberty quarters Walking Liberty half Dollars Trade dollars Morgan Dollars Peace dollars Flowing Hair Coinage Capped Bust Half Dollars Draped Bust Half Dollars Other Bust Coins Seated Liberty Coinage Barber coinage Gold Coins US Coin Type 7070 Dansco Album I'll be making a New Topic Poll for this idea but you all should start thinking about it now! (I love the idea of Ikes or Franklins Halfs but, again, they are Moderns...) NOTE: I have NO PROBLEM with revisiting any of the above coin types!

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 02/09/2012 4:34 pm You know what? That list tells me that there is some sort of conspicuous anti-Nickel discrimination going on. Every other denomination has had a run and some have had two or three! Report this Post to the Staff
