Ever since I learned how to set up algebraic proportions (1967) in high school I have tried to make math applicable to everyday life. This was...
Silver is currently $22.58…times .925 (sterling, btw)…equals $20.8865. Divide that by the number of grams in a troy oz (let’s round down to...
All I can tell you is the Mint is going to end up cranking out around 700 million of each of these (best guess), and that equates to 700 die...
Please tell us what the differences are that you noticed…
…that date looks like 1854…
@Kang131 …there are many experts here on CT who are much more knowledgeable in many areas than I am. Members can search CT by keyword to find...
@Kang131 …Welcome to Coin Talk!…we members don’t know your level of numismatic expertise, but go here: doubleddie.com …and read all the...
I disagree. It has too many dings breaking too many lines to be a FS, and…yes, it is not at least MS60 so it does not qualify as a true full step...
@Randy Abercrombie …about 30 min too late I fear…you should have used a plastic knife to avoid metal-on-metal contact…like those you get from...
I got 15 IHC in the ‘60s, from circulation…60 years ago…I’ve already split these between my sons who own them now. BUT…I am working on a cup of...
@PamR …Not ATB…2008 States quarter. The Mint did not make a special die to have a separated nose. You need to take all the other circulation...

The Wiki article answers this too.
@Gold Hat …go to Wikipedia and read the “Design” section on the IHC. There is a tale, an inspiration and a supposition regarding who the obverse...
The obverse for the IHC is Liberty wearing a headdress, IIRC, there was no model. It is similar to Liberty wearing wings for the “mercury” dime.
@acan451 …AU50 is $37.00 @ NGC, but I think this is XF40/$35.00USD…Current melt is $19.92. $27.00CAD = $21.41USD. If you verify a desirable...
IMO, you need to keep/cherish them for the antiques they are…you have some very beautiful items. I especially like the coffee/tea pot and the...
Nope. Look at the shape of the O/GOD…not the same as VV. I also do not see the die marker above the M.
The obverse looks really ragged, I don’t think it would straight grade…definitely not MS and not full band. IMO, you have a $50-$75 coin. I...
You are correct, it is not a proof…but there is no “maybe” about it, it can’t be MS. There is evidence of wear on both sides of the coin.
