One interesting thing about the 1862's, in high grade they are often PL and have very sharp strikes.
Looks like JR-6 R-2 Sent you a PM
Top 10 most frequently encountered, and I still need 5 of them.
Early PCGS label in an aftermarket holder and it looks like the coin is probably not the coin that originally went with that label.
I wouldn't try and remove the enamel. Typically they rougher or scratch up the surfaces to be enameled to allow the enamel to get a better "grip"...
It's still a dodge, the shipwreck itself didn't make it look like that, the extended saltwater exposure did.
Distance setting between the edge die and pressure wheel was set just a little too far apart and the edge didn't get a deep impression. Not an...

Right here, updated monthly ( not sure what day of the month) Select circulating coins and the year. They don't have 2022 figures up yet,...
Not sure why everyone says it has been reprocessed. It doesn't appear reprocessed to me. Hard to reprocess and replate without plating the edge...
Interesting factoid, there are two known MS 1973 S coppernickel clad Ike dollars that have been found in those blue OGP envelopes.
You don't? There have been plenty of people that have come here (and on other forums) asking about a coin, been given good explanations, argued...
Separate names with a comma.
