And the bartender says... oh wait, you changed the theme. There are other reasons for slabbing besides resale, like letting your heirs know what...
Maybe a lowball collector will weigh in on that aspect. It's authenticated as a 1916 and clearly about as low grade as you can get, which is why I...
That's awesome. Yours is a lot worse (i.e. better?) than the PO01 posted above. Why bother sending to PCGS? Just curious what your reasoning is...
Let's not forget Pareidolia. Combined with the obsession with errors, pareidolia has produced some very entertaining forum threads.
Another bit of trivia - from the monthly coinage records you can decipher that at least in the years 1896-1906, they minted proof sets quarterly...
That was the first thing I noticed. When the coin arrives I would check that area carefully; it may have been done to disguise a rim dent. I've...
Seems like you could publish a catalog!
I think a postal note was like a money order. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_postal_notes. I see there were also postal note stamps,...
The Newman Numismatic Portal is a treasure trove of this kind of stuff. I recall a letter where they were paying for a proof set with stamps....
The proliferation of cheap microscopes has compounded this. Because every working die was pressed more than once prior to single-squeeze hubbing,...
NGC says "no." Their guarantee for copper coins expires after 10 years. PCGS is even less confident - they no longer guarantee copper color...
Expounding on #1 - the fact that we now have CAC to tell us which one-third of an MS grade the coin belongs in, even though there's already 10...
And the bartender says "Get outta here!!"
It's funny that they called them "Morgan" dimes. I think that carried over from the earlier coin boards but I can't recall why they called them...
Yes I picked a restrike image but the fonts on all the real ones looked identical. 827 are all wrong on the fake.
Wait, you posted images of the 1908-O. 1892-O has the micro O.
Uh, the date logo is completely wrong. Unless I'm missing something. [ATTACH]
You'll notice that that one only got a "UNC" grade. We don't know if it was "conserved" or if they decided it was not a candidate (although I'm...
Cheese is delicious.
Have you checked 1892-O for the micro O?
