John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 06:55 am Very nice photos but a few too many. I see nothing special about that coin, it is a spender. It does have a die crack on the reverse by united. Your pics are a bit too close up. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 3:26 pm love the images, your coin has what looks like carbon spots and zinc bubbles - not a plus for this coin. The die crack on the reverse, while pretty nice, is in a very common area. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Jhopkins92 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 03:08 am Ok you guys do me a solid and check out the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th picture...look at the e in liberty please. Is that not doubling of some sort? I'm just trying to gain a little education on this so I stop getting overly excited at every imperfection I see on every coin I look at. And tbh I can read all the literature I want but I m not gonna trust just my own judgement cus I really dont know what I'm doing lol...i just really enjoy this and its kind of addictive once you start so I mine as well learn a thing or two from yall Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 05:17 am All I really see are plating issues. The problem with that kind of magnification is you see every little anomaly, and almost every coin has some small imperfection if you look close enough. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 07:08 am hopkins92, Looked at pics 2,3,4 again and see no doubling,sorry. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 09:56 am with john1 - just plating issues is what I see. Now your title states something about "going on with the pillars" but you provided no images of that. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 12:55 pm Correct. A die event on the die crack. The other issues are not a plus for this coin. The plating is showing a mild life in circulation. Not a real premium for this coin because of the condition of the plating of the copper over the zinc. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 5:22 pm That's the problem as Icutler stated above, not every small thing on coins is an error. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 6:41 pm I'm glad Dearborn mentioned the pillars and no images of them. The "E" is odd but light reflection has gotten me more than once so I'm not sure if that's it. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 8:07 pm I do hope that the OP will post up images of the columns for us to review. Collecting since 1972.
