That 1839 half looks wrong to me, particularly the 9.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1937-Irel...351748286874Here's an Irish halfcrown that seems to have been severely overgraded by PCGS. It's missing most of the detail on the curved edge of the harp and some of the detail on the straight edge. I would expect more detail on the horse's head in XF40. I think an accurate grade would be F17. Why doesn't the PCGS certification display its image ?

For some reason I think the story of that 1912-S cent involves time travel and a small dinosaur.

I don't think it is a real nickel, no. It is an unexplainable phenomena. Like play money gone bad. If it is double struck, it might have been struck by lightning twice.

Reminds me of the Canadian Toonie. People were punching out the inner core, turning them and trying to sell them as Mint errors. Only problem was that this is impossible as both inner core and outer ring are stamped together.
