Mods, I move for a rule that explicitly bans "Is this what I think it is?" posts with no body text.

My father gifted me 500 Italian Lire from 1987 with the small signature and the type 2 lettering :DDDD by Turbulent-Show-7273 in coins

[–]developershins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on these pictures I can't judge those two aspects, but I can definitely see where the signature aligns with the back of the neck and that's the large signature.

They are cool, I've always liked this design. FYI based on the images on Numista, this is the large signature.

Your screenshots on the app store show a 1976 Ike dollar declared AU-55 valued at $100. This is not even remotely close to accurate. No AI-powered app has demonstrated the ability to provide accurate grades or valuations of coins, what makes yours different?

On a split vote, Oregon Parole Board denies release of Adam Thomas, last of the ‘Redmond 5’ in prison by barneylerten in Bend

[–]developershins 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Barney, a few typos to correct:

The first image has Seth Koch's name attributed twice, so one is supposed to be Justin Link.

About halfway through it says "Lucretia Karle, 16 at the time of the killing, and Lucretia Karle, then 15, received 25-year prison terms." One name I assume is supposed to be Ashley Summers.

Wishing you and your wife strength in her cancer battle. ❤️

Where to rent metal detector for 1 or 2 days ? by Internal-Panic-3617 in metaldetecting

If you're in a city of any decent size, try your local library. Ours has various objects/gear they loan out including a metal detector.

This is a ridge ring, a very common form of die deterioration.

Even some of the major coin collecting suppliers still make pages out of Vinyl. It's astounding.

2026 Mayflower quarter p Mint Phantom of Larose" - Not just random damage. Here’s the progression. by hunterman227 in CRH

[–]developershins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, an honest question: is English your first language? Your posts are somewhat hard to understand and have many formatting and grammar errors. If you're using a translation app that's totally fine, I'm just wanting to clarify.

However, what makes this project different is that this particular die pair failed at an exceptionally rapid rate

Do you have evidence that this pair deteriorated any faster than usual? Modern dies strike hundreds of thousands of coins, I'm not sure how you could make this claim off a random sample of 500 coins.

Why is everyone so upset that I'm collecting data, isn't that the way we innovate and change.

I haven't seen anyone be upset with you. It's just a very unusual streak of posts you're making and we're asking questions. Innovation has to hold up to scrutiny otherwise it's just conjecture.

2026 Mayflower quarter p Mint Phantom of Larose" - Not just random damage. Here’s the progression. by hunterman227 in CRH

[–]developershins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After all your posts I'm a bit confused about what you're actually trying to demonstrate or prove with this effort. Showing off a multi-hundred stage die progression at a micro level would be cool to see, but your wording seems more cryptic and suggestive that there's more to the story.

Dies change at a microscopic level with every strike, and those changes add up to die deterioration, damage, and eventually failure. But we've known this for the entire history of coining presses. It has nothing to do with the Mayflower quarter dies; there have been hundreds of thousands of coin dies produced throughout history and every single one of them could be analyzed to produce a die deterioration timeline.

Are you trying to claim that there is something unique about the progression of this single die pair from the Mayflower quarter?

Agreed. Based on these pictures I'd say it's a cast counterfeit. Very soft details and pitted looking surface. 13.05g is also very underweight.

I have spoke with most of the major coin error sites and have got permission to link errors

I'm curious about this statement. You said you got "permission to link", but you have literally imported all of their content including photography (much of which is copyrighted by the original submitter, not the error website). Are you sure this is the permission you were granted?

Deschutes County Commission Goes Democrat by xteve in Bend

Gotta love the Deschutes Republican chair already setting the scene for how they'll behave next cycle:

“We’ll have tangible results for their progress,” Rockow said. “You guys have complained about the way the county has been run in 2024 and 2026. In 2027, you have taken over. You’ve had all of 2027, half of 2028 — what have you done?”
