And yet you still are Under Staffed & Overly Motivated. 'preciate your service.
Chris, I really appreciate your patience. You asked for some whole coin pics. I don't know how useful these will, but they are the best I do...
Just out of curiosity, would it slab? Details? Body bag? I'd think they might cut it a bit of slack.
I don't think sampling bias caused the discrepancy. If that were case, I would expect the observed ratio to track the expected ratio. The fact...
You asked for..... Here is a pdf with graphs of Lincoln cent attrition. There is no indication that attrition is higher in 59 or 60 as might be...
Based on the shape and position of the "D" and the shape of the feathers on the helmet, it's post 1916. You can safely spend it:happy:.
I don't think that copper hoarders would affect the outcome much since they would be pulling coins without regard to the date. I would expect...
Just for information regarding attrition rates. I used to roll search (2009-2010) and kept the pre-82 cents (a total of >38,000). Since I am a...
To quote Southpark "I learned something today"
Actually, I am suggesting that because the positions of the clashes differ, my coin is not 33A or B (previous quote below). Also, mine does not...
You got it. Nice pick.
OK, if I understand it, getting CAC approval means that, at worst, the other TPG got it right or under-graded a coin. This suggests to that the...
It's just a cheap hand-held digital held up to the eyepiece of a compound microscope. But keep in mind that you're only the best ones:happy:....
OK, I went over this thing with a fine-toothed comb. I can find no evidence of die clashes on the reverse, or of letter clashes on the obverse....
I don't think there are any letters, but I will look closer when I get home. But I'm pretty sure I found no evidence of a clash on the reverse....
I may chosen poor terminology. The clash does not show on the cap per se, but rather ends at the cap, and it appears as though it extends into...
Yeah, I've tried that many times in the past (including Googling the VAM# to search the whole web). Unfortunately, in this case, I don't have any...
Would it be safe though to assume that the clash doesn't move, just get weaker with time (if at all). I compared mine (above) to 1881-O 33B and...
Before you make you final decision, notice that if you use the magnifier function, it gets bigger. When you do that, you can see Elvis.
After they took the VDB off of the 1909's, none of the cents had any initials. They later (if I recall correctly, 1918) were restored, but on the...
