I'm new here and to be honest never read the thread that started this one but I have to say, I have learned a lot from everyone here and continue...
On the full reverse image of the first coin (top image) do you see the lines coming from "AMERICA" and past it in a circular formation? Would...
I just looked into trail dies "wavy steps" and found a site with knows 1997 trail dies but none match my second image coin. Also, from what I...
I pretty much thought the same on the first images except the ear lobe one, still confused on that one. The last image with the wavy steps I have...

No, nothing to do with youtube. I just keep going through all my change I have collected over the years (around $2,500 to 3,000) in...
I actually asked for permission and they were ok with it. Since i suggested that to someone looking for a new avenue I figured I'd give it a try...
