Very strange place for a die crack. Is it raised?

It looks like machine/mechanical doubling (MD). There is one listed elsewhere on this site under the appropriate denomination and date. Once you click on the specific date, at the bottom of the page, you will find varieties & errors that have been submitted by members. Since the title of the error l...

Without seeing the lettering, I'd say Mechanical/machine doubling (MD) with die deterioration doubling. Both are errors, not DD's.

Actually ICCS quit certing the 1896 "far 6" and Charlton and Trends will quit as well. A variety is one specific type of anomaly that will have certain markers. The "far 6" had any number of separation degrees from the 9. The first coin to be certified as a "far 6", I helped the collector get it thr...

According to my reference book, Philly didn't strike any silver dimes .. only nickel. Both Philly and Ottawa struck nickel coins. Only Ottawa struck .500 silver coins. Phila coins have grooves with a square bottom and Ottawa coins have V-shaped bottoms. I think that you have 1 nickel coin and one 50...

Well, you answered me twice. I have no TPG'd coins on hand.

Yes, I agree. Acid or coke. Also, don't believe much of the stuff by Regitko.

I'd say delamination
