Re: I have a strange one for you guys.

Unless you are talking about 1974, I see no numbers, only a coin that has been in acid or coated with it. Or possibly, left in Coca-Cola for weeks. The surface would be the same

Re: 1977 PL set - help?

If it's dollars, it means short water line on the reverse.

Re: Another 1894 large cent

From the photo, yes, it looks like a fat 4. I'd say it's XF-40 and a nice coin.

Re: 1962 5 cents doubling both sides of coin

I agree. It's machine or mechanical doubling (MD) and adds no value to the coin.

Re: 1961 Jefferson Nickel

Not doubled. It's a tired worn die and it's called die deterioration doubling.

Re: 1953 NSS Obv. Dei Gratia Doubling

To me, it looks like die deterioration, but a beautiful coin.

Re: 1936 with dot under date

It's not a "dot". It's in the wrong place and wrong size.

Re: 1964 Obverse die crack

Since the "crack" is on top of all the design, it looks like a scratch, not a D/C. With all the other scratches and marks, as well as the wear on the hair ribbon and beaver joints, the coin is not MS. I'm not sure that it would even get an AU. Your coin is PMD, not a D/C.

Re: Pc59 180

Yep, a DP3, a DP 4, and a TP#1. And the DP5 earlier and one of the nice 5's. And another, we didn't put a name on, just the page number in 2011. Nice Mikey

Re: Pc59 180

Mike .... the Zoell R2b became the DP#5 not the one above, with the inside of the loop having the huge offset and showing well under the top. It also had the huge D/C at the R in Rina and then split to go into Gratis and the rest of Regina
