photos on site

Dick · Expert Member

Bob, or Coop, can you tell me why I can only get certain photos from the site, and not others, unless there is a link given? To wit: I wanted to see the 2006P-1DR-008, and tried to call it up, but only 2002 was the latest date shown. Darrel gave me the link, and I was able to call it up, and view the coin in question.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks. I just realized I put this on the wrong place, should have been "forum help". I'm learning, but slowly!
LATER: After using the link given, yes, I have been there before. Now I know how to go back, as well! Many thanks. Coop, the problem I had with the date guide is that it terminates with 2002. While there this time, I recognized somwe of my, (different date), varieties. I'll have to post them. Who knows, maybe they aren't on the site, yet.

Dick: Have you tried the search on the first page. When you click on the one on the left side below the tool bar. You can choose date, mintmark, anomoly and when you completed those items, you can see a page with lets say RPMs or Doubled Die Reverse or Obverse. You can bring up all the different ones if you wish. But it brings up the pages you want. Again on the home page, left side below the tool bar. You can ever search for RPMs by direction, rotation, tilting. I bet you would enjoy it if you havent' already tried it. I don't use the date guide so I don't know if there is a problem with it or not.

It's because you're using the date guide. Some things don't show there. If you use the die search page you will see them.

Try the search page, just enter the date or date and mint and variety type and you can see them.

Darrel, some people are so "new", they don't even know when they don't know enough to ask! But it is fun when someone turns on the light!

Don't feel bad Dick. It took me a couple of years to figure out how to post images. For years I used a tag line. Its so simple I see people post images on their first post. Sometimes we are left so long in the dark about thing that we stay in the dark till someone shows us the right way to do it. (Time to go back to my cave........ Wink

Coop, speaking of caves, check my last "edit" of the 1982. It is crude, but you can see the crack/break, where it goes thru the "S", and then becomes nearly invisible, until it hits the building. Now, another question: When does a die crack, become a die "break"? It is, by the way, a mirror image, Location wise, almost, of the one Ed posted.

Usually die scratches are straight. Die cracks usually are not. Die breaks appear after the die crack is there for some time and the cracked area starts to seperate or widen due to wear that the wear creates in between the cracked area. Because of movement the die can wear against it self, or crumble between the areas of the cracked area. it appears first as a chip. Kind of like a pot hole that develops in the die. The pothole now makes coins with a more raised area on the coins. As more and more coins are created there starts a gap that continues to get wider and wider. The crack area is just on the surface. Because of the weakness now of the die, it continues to break deeper into the die. All the while being used to make more coins, it just keeps getting larger. Sometimes a deep die scratch will develope into a crack and later a break that goes through the die. But most of the time this doesn't continue. Most of the time the scratches just wear away/fade away in the fields. Eventually the die break may cause a cud to appear if the die separates and part of the die falls off. But they are soon retired after that happens.

That is when the term, "terminal" is about to apply! With so much grinding as had been done in the field area, and on the field in front of the letters, they, (letters), are almost non-existant, and obviously, the "extrusion" from the break is abraided to the point that it is just more field, until it gets to the building, and then it is visible all the way to the fourth column. This example is almost a mirror image of the one posted, by ED, or Steven, I don'r remember who, except is is rotated 180 degrees, on the N-S axis.
