What I am seeing is either Machine doubling or what is called flat field doubling. My understanding of flat field doubling is that since proofs...
As potttydollar said the W coins were made for 2 years 2019 and 2020, the privy marked coins were 2020 only.
As usual there is probably NOTHING fraudulent about these auctions. Misleading maybe, and presented in such a way that the buyers have made a...
1990 was right after the market peak and at the start of the crash. I remember watching slabbed MS-65 1881 S Morgan dollars approaching $1,000...
