Thought I'd post this coin of modest value as it's quite a crack and I imagine the die didn't last the day. 20240105_135825.jpg The reverse has some radial die cracks but the best is on the obverse, which has a few "details" issues but is nonetheless in a collectable circulated grade. 20240105_14015...

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge on the subject. It is all new information to me. I 100% agree that, if one wishes to build a meaningful collection, a deep dive into the available literature is one's first best step. That is the advice I share in stamp collecting, where I am better known. I ...

I see the die clash in person now, arcing above the Queen's hair. It was just luck my image setup captured it. My compliments on your eagle eye!

Thanks for showing all of those, my collection is relatively basic and I was unaware the variety could take so many forms. The bead clash you mention escapes my eyes and is a bit beyond my knowledge of coin making, but I'll read up on it.

Hi again Had a lazy afternoon to look through unchecked purchases and found this. 20231229_145217.jpg Picture of reverse: 20231229_145305.jpg I managed to get a decent image of the relevant part of the obverse, the DEI of the legend. 20231229_152813.jpg It looks like an unserifed "I" was punched ove...

Those are lovely, such satisfying quality examples. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reply, the overlay of the 6/6 obscures but a second image confirms what I see as Obverse 2. I see a few sold/selling on ebay that are Obverse 1. I guess every catalogue is in need of revision, just as the last word is never written on a subject, just as we are always learning.

Might be a dumb question on my part, I'm short on practice IDing obverses on these anyways. From sorting a recent group: This clearly matched the listed variety, I can say with some confidence. 20231210_112313.jpg 20231210_113838.jpg The catalogue listing identifies the variety as paired with Obvers...

Thanks all for the feedback and encouragement.

Hi all Got this nice example at auction and am using the www.vickycents.com website to study it and understand the issue better. 20231206_225048.jpg 20231206_224918.jpg The Haxby classification is challenging to me as a newbie. So far I've got: Obverse: radial die cracks at GIN and EI, so obverse 45...

Thanks all for your replies. The website is an amazing resource, I had not seen the folder on broadstrike errors. As a keen young collector, some forty years ago, I would have feasted on the wealth of knowledge one can find here.

20231019_194219.jpg 20231019_194027.jpg This came added in an auction lot of Large Cents that yielded nothing exciting. I don't really collect these errors but I know a keeper when I see it. I am enjoying revisiting the hobby after a long time away (much has changed). I assume this is some out-of-c...
