2000 Freedom Obverse Die Deterioration and Replacement

The first coin of this set shows obverse die deterioration and the second coin shows that the obverse die was replaced. The reverse die chip/crack on the C of Canada stays consistent to prove the obverse die was only replaced. Coin 1: Photo 1 -reverse die chip/crack on the C of Canada Photos 2,3 & 4...

March 1999 "Retained Grease" Strike Through

I found this coin in the approx. middle of an original mint roll. Is it possible for the grease to remain on the coin of a struck through grease feature?
In photo 4 you can see the struck through grease character on the coin where some of the grease is gone (red arrows).

Re: 1993 Die Damage

It is raised. In photo 4 of my first post the line that touches the bottom of the N is raised. In photo 1 of my first post the two lines, by the N, that are reflecting the light are raised. I didn't think it was struck through something because the lines continue on the other side of the N and E but...

Re: 1959 "Frog" on Beaver's Tail

It is an accumulation of die chips, so it stands proud on the tail. Because the water was right there, and it sort of looked like a frog....I thought it would have jumped on the tail for a free ride, haha!

Re: August 1999, "Manure Pile" Die Chip Progression

It was lucky that this progression was in the 7 mint rolls I recently got from my bank. I went through all of the coins again to see if I missed the N to horse leg die chips and I found a couple coins that show the N die chip came first and then the die chip between the horse legs. Photo 1 die chip ...

Re: August 1999, "Manure Pile" Die Chip Progression

Here are larger photos of the very start of the die chip above the C and four others as it progresses toward the full "manure pile". It sure is interesting to click through the 15 coins on my computer at full size and see each new die chip piece added on in succession.

Re: August 1999, "Manure Pile" Die Chip Progression

Hi SP67, Thanks for sharing your photos/thoughts. I have two full mint rolls with the full "manure pile" (die chips above the C and toward the hay pile and rake/broom). Looking at those coins the die chips between the horses' legs only show up at the same time the N die chip starts and not before (b...

1926 Far 6

I think I have a far 6 coin (photos 1 to 3). Photo 4 -I took photos of a near 6 coin and this possible far 6 coin and made the near 6 coin photo partially transparent on top of the possible far 6 coin photo in PPT and I think it helps to confirm it. I have estimated the grade at VG-10 but I would we...

August 1999, "Manure Pile" Die Chip Progression

I went through some mint rolls for August 1999 and found this 15 coin die chip progression by the C, broom and hay. The final coin has already been identified on this site but I thought it was interesting to see how it built up. Photo 1 -Die chip started above the C and moved toward the hay and broo...

Re: 1969 "Hannibal" Die Crack

Interesting, can I get more information/thoughts on where to go from here with "Might be special".
I went through all of my dollar coins and found a 1968 coin with this same "Hannibal" die crack.
