Not an expert collector but in my capacity as a non-expert, I say leave it alone! That tiny spot is not worth worrying about and won't affect the...
It looked like a proof to me too at first. It will take a specialist to say for sure. I know almost nothing about these but poking around Heritage...
A UNC Details - Spot Removed sold on Heritage in 2021 for $960. To me yours has a bit better eye appeal except for the nasty scrubbing below the...
"they have to be something that YOU bought" as defined on post #1 so I guess not. Otherwise I'd have a lot more to post! Grandpa had some cool...
I didn't catch that until now. I think they used a post-1901 Barber dime reverse, which is funny.
This. It's surprising how many people don't know that ebay policy prohibits even legally marked replica coins. And yet I've gotten the same...
Very interesting as always. Here's the PCGS FR02 I used above. That one has the die clash in the ear which probably made it easier....
I have gotten that response the past few times I've reported. First there is an email thanking me and giving me an incident number. I think the...
Posted elsewhere already but I'm bored. Got in change at the beer store. [ATTACH]
That's awful. I no longer waste my time reporting these. Fleecebay won't do anything unless someone with an inside connection reports it.
I don't metal detect but it seems like there are a lot of late 1800s homes, farms etc where you might get lucky. My first house in CO was built in...
Thanks, I had never seen that before. All I could think of was West Point. Apparently it was short-lived: NGC to Discontinue W Designation...
Your overlays are useful. I think the obverse overlay might be better if you showed the denticles. For me it's easier to see the difference in the...
Thanks. I thought I had read somewhere that someone misinterpreted the law as requiring that the design be changed after 25 years, but perhaps it...
I thought it was because they interpreted the law as requiring a new design every 25 years.
What does the "W" in the grade mean?
I'll update in case anyone down the road is interested. There were definitely two die pairs that produced the 1900-S "reverse of 1899" anomaly....
I don't see anything that rules out die pair #1. We don't have much to go on since the position of 1 in the date relative to denticles is...
You can make a ring out of a coin by spooning it. There are videos showing the process. I think prisoners also did it - there is a short scene in...
I think the thick dime has been "spooned." The two Netherlands coins are .640 silver so there's a little bit of value there.
