Monticello is crumbling. Nice find!
A slightly off topic question. I have all my coins stored in Whitman albums (both plastic slide cover and open faced), but I notice that people...
Happy Birthday!
MD I believe. From what I can see the serifs are not split.
Honestly, I think the bottom line on this is to increase state revenues by charging a service fee/tax every time someone buys or sells back (and...
This is the drawback to using Ethereum or some other blockchain. They would probably have to implement their own level 1 blockchain that doesn't...
Ha, good point! I wonder if they're banking on the fact that it's a direct digital representation of gold as the clause to get by with it... It's...
Unfortunately I suspect we're already 90% of the way to a digital programmable currency simply with credit cards.
This is interesting https://www.kitco.com/news/2023-04-06/Texas-moves-to-create-gold-backed-digital-currency.html The September 1st timeline is...

I learned a new term today, thanks @1stSgt22 and nice one. VarietyErrors says that with a reeded edge, the reeds sometimes look like railroad...

Nice. Blakesley effect and all.
So with that planchet flaw, the chances are increased that it will get a details slab. However, if it does, it could be for the flaw or it could...
Wow, seriously? Ha, some error hunter I am. Here's a potential planchet flaw just handed to me and I'm asking about how it was cleaned... :yack:...
Lots of environmental damage, but that is definitely a lamination crack in my opinion. Perhaps even a detached lamination near the bottom rim....
I guess that's to be expected on something as subjective as this. I'm more interested in what sorts of objective determinations that I can use to...
It's definitely damaged on the rim. Looks like it took a pretty good hit and then wore down over the years: [ATTACH] From the obverse: [ATTACH]...
Interesting! I've always thought a details designation meant that the coin had been altered to make it appear better than it should be under...
Separate names with a comma.
