I will be visiting New England next week, and my hosts know I am into coins. They have heard about Littleton and want to take me there. I have...
It was worth a shot.
Mitosis
Actually, I think it is a very pretty coin. The zincolns usually get very ugly as they age. This one has a nice uniform brown. I don't know how...
Yeah. It looks good, but when I make the top photo clear enough to see the details of one underneath, its difficult to see. That's why I did the...
I was going through my quarters in preparation for a re-organization, and noticed that the coin that I had marked as a 1952 D/D RPM-001 actually...
Thanks for the input. I think I'll just stay the course and keep putting them in 2X2's.
I am considering having my mint state coins slabbed. But I have a question, the answer to which will determine if I do so. My major collecting...
Has anyone ever made any estimates as to how many of the '68-'70 mint sets are still extant? I'd bet that many were broken up for the half...
They'll be looking for high grade 65-85 clad coins. Nobody saved them (except me, and maybe Cladking:happy:). There are no hoards to serve as...
I started off very focused on one set and worked diligently to finish that set. When it got to the point that I was no longer progressing on that...
I posted an inverted "S" mintmark on a 1945 quarter on the following thread (post #29)....
When you are looking for inverted "S" mintmarks, it is important to look at the symmetry rather than the shapes of the ends which can vary...
Definitely not inverted. That is the typical "Tall S" mintmark that was first used in 52. It overlapped with the "Trumpet Tail S" during 52 and...
Keep in mind that all calculations were made based only on mintages for the copper cents. Thus all proportions were relative to the total mintage...
I just read through the entire thread and have question. Are working hubs ever polished? If so, would "hub scratches" then produce raised lines...
I'd bet that the greatest discrepancies occur at the lower and the difference between the actual and theoretical populations decreases as the...
There also is a site called Franklin Lovers that has pictures of most of the die varieties. I go there frequently because there are die marker...
Thanks for trying.
I'm exactly the opposite. I started very focused. However, I inevitably got to the point that I was down to those last few that might take a long...
Separate names with a comma.
