5g 20.5mm I am thinking the mashed '2' in 1882 is an overstrike 3? The only other oddity I see is a gouged star directly across from the top of the '5' and a rim cut at about 3 o'clock that I believe is related to this gouged star. Overstrike or not?   *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I am finding more than one 1882 with the mashed '2'. Methinks this is some type of common flaw for that year.

I don't think it is an overstrike. How about a close up of the date area?

I tried for a closeup and just got a blurry mess.

By the way, I found several just like it. I'm thinking it is a date strike anomaly for that year. After finding 6 of them just like it....

Paul St Louis, I moved your thread to a more appropriate section. What are you using to take photos with? John1  |

Photos are being taken by my shaky hands and a cell phone. Some days my hands are more steady than others. I can try again.

John, you are a genius. This should be made an automatic response to any post with poor pictures! I like link 1 option and will order one right now. Question....what is available to hold a coin upright to take rim shots? I bet you have a solution. Meanwhile, you gave me the idea I needed for the moment. Here are some new pics.     |

John, you are a genius. Thanks,but that was not my idea. Taking edge shots,might be able to just balance the coin on a flat surface? Looks like your coin is in a 2x2 holder? Best to remove coins from holder before taking pics whenever possible. You also need to filter your light source. John1 |

@Paul St Louis - To my eyes this is not an overstrike, it appears to be a mashed 2.

Much better images.  . Now you need to carefully remove coins from the 2x2 prior to imaging them. |
