Thoughts? 1973 - appears to have a split in serif, most noticeable on 73 Liberty - same as date GOD - why I posted it rather than pass on it, O & D especially Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/20/2017 3:14 pm First, no DDO. there is no splits on date. You will usually see an appreciable size increase in the width of a device and quite often a line issuing from the split junction. LIBERTY is DDD, note direction is toward the outside when noticing the abbraided die around the left edges. GOD is another example of abrasion, this time the dimpling effect. Might I suggest you stop chasing ghosts, wasting time on searching where there are no known anamolies on a specific area per date/mm. Identify known ones first. Once you perfect your eye, then you can expand. You have to know the real, genuine before you can notice the varieties. Edited by Crazyb0 12/20/2017 3:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SF11Dude Pillar of the Community United States 746 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 06:33 am I think of cents like snowflakes, no two are exactly the same and I just sort and/or search whatever comes my way. Who knows, you may find something new. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Gnome Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 12:28 pm Hum? Interesting post... I read it because I too have a 1973 LMC in question. However, I'm gonna comment about the comments.... Crazybo, that is insightful & very Useful Advise! "On the flip side of that coin"...ie.... statement. Maybe the process of "chasing Ghost" or "searching for unknown anomalies" is the process of perfecting ones eye? ***On this side of "perfection", who knows the difference? Respectfully.... Love this CC site!! Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 08/17/2018 12:33 pm Crazyb0 is correct. When I first started out, I would look at a coin for way too long, and would see things that wasn't there in the first place. It takes some time to get good at this. Errers and Varietys.
