Another diagnostic of the small date is the weakly struck letters "ber" in Liberty. They appear mushy. You will know it when you see them.
Like the black holder. I wish they had a no prong option for the Morgan's though. More retro in my mind.
I would start by weighing it on a digital scale. It should weigh 5.67 grams. Any noticible variation from that might indicate it is an off metal...
I did not know this.:eek: Maybe it is time for me to get a decent safe!
I found a neat coin counter at a garage sale once and all my change goes into it. It has individual tubes for each denomination. When the tube...

There's a neat story in the Sept 2008 issue of CoinValues magazine. Seems a guy in Denver back in the 40's went to the bank and got some new...

Hi all, I have recently picked up a couple of nice GSA CC dollars, a nicely toned '84 and a real nice DMPL '83. I am debating the merits of...
I have a handful of errors that I feel would be best in a TPG holder, more for authentication purposes than anything else but hate spending a lot...
