Sorry my man, completely missed your follow-up or I wouldn't have posted. You gave a much better and thorough response (and yes with...
Yes, forget about the MD. The more interesting question is its weight. Assuming your scale is properly calibrated, the 2.7g weight puts it at .28g...
Without addressing any specific issues raised, and in light of the fact that you cannot apparently take close in shots, but you DO have the coin...
Don't worry about it; Dr. Wiles doesn't separate the Proofs from the Business Strikes other than with the "PR" designation (though admittedly, you...
It's an MMS-002 (Large) Trumpet Tail; and yes it does appear to have been "Smooshed":):):), but it's still a large. Semper Fidelis
You're right twice over. Variety Vista's 1955 DDO's numbers 4-9 are all Proof coins. Only #s 1-3 and 10 are Business Strikes and clearly the OPs...
Does anyone have an idea of what may have caused the "dripping" seen on bottom of the letters in the "TATE" photo; can't quite remember seeing...
Those Sir, are way too KOOL! And they came from a roll that you got at a bank and not eBay??? Pretty clear that I've been getting my rolls from...
Hey, please don't runaway so fast. Paddyman98 may very well be right that it's only a nasty scratch, BUT he's also right that larger and better...
Looking at the date, any chance it might be a DDO; possibly like a 1937 DDO-004, 4-O-II-C+VI??? I know your photos were just for showing your find...
Based on the 1993 photo, I'd see little argument. However, in the 993 photo I'm not seeing the type of definition I'd expect to see on the lower...
But you might want to try this address instead: https://www2.briansvarietycoins.com// as I don't think it works without the "y". BTW, could that...
Regardless of the potential price, Nice Find!!!
:yack: Coins, but I've seen a lot of other answers . . . and YES a "booger" is one of them!
Healthy "skepticism" is always a good thing. The problem here is that the published information was allegedly based on an investigation by the...
" . . . apparently no more worn nor battered than most of the metal money a few years old." " . . . short in weight by 5 to 15 per cent." Now...
Beautifully put! And what was true 2100 years ago is still true today! Semper Fidelis
I almost spit out my milk when I read your, "thanks for reminding me of that old, familiar feeling when you see a new publication that's...
All, without commenting on the use of coinage weight for any purpose, e.g. counterfeiting, et al, I believe the data gleaned from the Report of...
I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt (maybe he didn't know any better), but it looks like he's been doing the eBay thing for over 10...
