No, that's definitely a die clash.
For some issues, the only reason we have nearly the survivorship we see was their popularity as jewelry. Better for a coin to survive as a pendant...
Yeah gun safes are a big no-no for coin storage.
I've noticed that NGC will take high res shots of submitted coins if they want to use the image to represent the type in their census. I've had...
I've used Transferwise before, but any bank wire from the US abroad is a hassle. I prefer to use PayPal, and then I specify to be billed in...

I saw a European seller with a large inventory and a couple obscure booklets listed at 20 Euro each Buy It Now, with the Make An Offer option. I...
No, I'm talking about intended but minor design changes, like the date profile changes on the SLQ or the number of stripes in the shield in bust...
Yeah, I agree with you there.
I don't really consider counterfeit slabs to be much of a problem, since they are much easier to detect. Consider the very limited number of types...
