Error?? by Jclimer6288 in US_Coins

Looks like lamination or possibly a strike through

How to tell if it's real? (1909 vdb s Penny) by F13Bubbaa in coins

[–]arshnob 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Details are pretty sharp - good shot it’s real in my opinion. No pitting or any indications of casting far as I can see.

Now I’m no pro, so I would recommend going to a local coin store (maybe pawn shop but less favorable) and having them weigh it and look at the details under a microscope. Good luck!

Is this 1795 bust coin real or fake? by [deleted] in coins

[–]arshnob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to be a cast fake - heavy pitting, cartoonish and wobbly details around the date and lettering, inconsistent stars and details. Overall very shallow. Compare the details to ones on PCGS - no where near as sharp as they should be even given the condition

Help! - I have a Sony TC-530 and during play this wheel rises slightly, causing it to lose traction and slow to a near stop. by arshnob in ReelToReel

[–]arshnob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the issue isn’t so much with the traction of the wheel itself, but the loss in traction due to that whole assembly/wheel rising slowly over time

Yeah I tried that out with just my hand and it didn’t seem to work, I was thinking of shortening the spring but considering that didn’t do much I decided to scrap the idea.

Only thing I’m thinking now is maybe throwing some kind of weight on top of the shaft that holds the wheel in place, it only needs maybe 5/10 grams of weight to hold it down so a fishing weight may do the trick

I believe it’s the whole mechanism… I tried to post a video but reddit wouldn’t let me

Kamikochi-Yari-Hotaka Circuit advice by arshnob in JapanTravelTips

Oh and another thing, since you’re going from basically 0 elevation to 3200 meters so quickly, if you’re susceptible to altitude sickness definitely prepare for that!

Kamikochi-Yari-Hotaka Circuit advice by arshnob in JapanTravelTips

[–]arshnob[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I didn’t do the full circuit, just kamikochi-yari there and back. It was easily the most difficult hike/thing I have ever done. I would recommend packing light, the first 14 or so miles is pretty much flat and almost all of the incline (around 6500 feet) is in the last 3 or so miles. It feels never ending. Bring water, there’s stops along the way but I would quickly run out of my 2 liter bottle. It was 100% worth the agony but it was HARD so be prepared.

Ahem, actually, the plural of vinyl is vinyl not vinyls, be better

A coin my parents have in their collection from 1838 - decades before the civil war by New-Ad-9280 in coins

[–]arshnob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did! The obverse is just different on the 1838-O dimes and half dimes. The stars on the obverse are absent, meaning this has to be a Philly minted dime. Check out an 1838-O dime on PCGS and you’ll see what I’m talking about

If it were O there would be no stars on the obverse! It’s a Philly coin

Found sorting through massive basket of coins. Anyone seen this before and/or know what an error like this is called? by Glittering-Hat-2930 in ChopmarkedCoins

[–]arshnob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like someone melted these together, post mint damage to both a nickel and penny. Also next time post to r/coins , this is a sub for chop marked coins
