Overall pleasant coin, but I would personally say the hit has to decrease its value. I would guess one grade level at least. While all circulated...
With all due respect, as you are one of the most revered members here sir, has any model been shown to have any predictive validity? Last I have...
Seriously, "climate change"? What clickbait. Everyone knows what led to it going extinct, not "climate change" but human destruction of the...
I understand sir. Of course most of us know majority of coin shop politics, and most of us old timers here just from your posts understand your...
Thank you. Better explanation than "double vice job" I said. Same idea, but better said.
I would agree based on my limited knowledge. I was thinking a double vice job at first, (vice job applied to another vice job as culprit), but...
I suggest anyone interested in pod duong coins to study how they were made. They were oval pieces where indentations were made on one side,...
I am assuming BU coins, not proof. Proof APE are a completely different series than the BU coins, and have never found 69 or unslabbed ones for...
As more background, Hall and Sellers is the firm that took over from Franklin and Hall. This was the frim that took over for Ben Franklin. Ben...

Do the areas of weakness correspond to each other? If so, I would consider it improperly seated, as the error was it was slightly angled between...
I don't have anything handy sir, but I would postulate that PM coins would trade at par, and copper not. Remember bronze and orichalcum always...
Lol, yeah, US collectors always have a hard time understanding that to 99.9% of the world US coins are "world coins". Not laughing at you sir, it...
Thank you. I knew they were Malaysian sourced, but couldn't remember the other details too much. Just so people are aware, there are some...
Malaysian tin or lead items. I believe about 200 years old. I own a number I bought from sellers of other tin money of that era. Some people call...
Yeah, I am only 6'2" and find counters too low. Thankfully I have a good back, but neck damage from the Persian Gulf war makes looking down so far...
I like the coin. From what I know about DMPL they are incredibly hard to photograph well since the reflection magnifies any defect. I would be...
