I would love to see a picture as well. I'm sure Fred Weinberg would pay good money for this coin!

 As you can see the by the number of posts, anyone claiming something interesting gotta be supported by images 1st. I'll believe it when I see it. Once I do I'll go nuts like the rest of them.  No sasquatch in captivity yet. Edited by fcrazo

FRIENDS MY VERY FIRST POST SAID I WILL GET IMAGES!
I know that I jumped the gun by even posting once without them.
I will do so. I am trying to get 'good enough' images created using various digital cameras I own if I can't get my neighbor to shoot some pro quality with her digital SLR + macro lens and polarizing filter.
I am as interested as everyone else as to what this coin truly is.
And, thanks for everyones help and interest.

No worries fisx!
Though, I'd be happy with mediocer photos to start with...you see, some folks decide to drop in, start up a hot topic to get people worked up and then they disappear. It's fun for them, they get to watch the ensueing fireworks.
Please don't worry about having to have a "pro" DSLR etc...most any cheap poin-and-shoot with a macro mode and natural lighting (aka: the sun) will be a great start.

Yep...sounds like a popular song..."another one bites the dust"
Shame he didn't provide anything to substantiate his claims.

Sounds cool- but it may be a broadstrike, there is an example of the nickel one in the RedBook. |

The imprints on 'heads and tails' are smaller than, and do not at all align with, with the quarter sized blank.
Under 10X the imprints appear to this 110% non-pro amateur to be deep, crisp, and clear. Imprints? That makes it sound like they are incuse. Quote:
One side appears to be the left facing bust, the other is the 'Oceans in View' images of a 2005 commemorative nickel. Left facing? The bust on the 2005 nickel faces right. Once again makes it sound like it is incuse. An incuse image would face left. The bit about the images not lining up also makes it sound like a hammer job. |

Sounds like a broadstruck nickel. The weight is close. Here is an example:  The outside diameter is probably enlarged to a quarter in size. He mentioned something about the direction slightly off. maybe a broadstruck slightly off center. He didn't mention any cladding, but a quarter planchet would never fit in a nickel collar. So hopefully he comes back in to see if the image I posts matches? |
