Didn't you get that backwards? Your subsequent post says true PL/DMPL should not have die polish lines.
1901 is an interesting year for Barbers. Your 1901-O is Reverse 3, with the thick ribbon. All three mints produced both Rev2 and Rev3 (I think...
This is what comes up if you search for something like "fedex shipping coins." It gives you a link to restrictions for Japan. You will note that...
I looked at 120 1902-S on Heritage back in Feb and found 0 Rev2. Die shipment and/or monthly coinage records might allow speculation as to what...
I like how the denticles float at the bottom of the reverse.
I took the plunge yesterday at the Fort Collins Coin Club fall show, so here's my brain dump. Taking them out of their 2x2s Friday night was...
Yes, we discussed this back in Jan-Feb, fortunately I saved the email thread. Steve Hustad article from 2005...
Time for another article! I haven't looked at enough coins to be definitive, but there appears to be a similar progression with the U, which...
I'm not sure what question the "no" is a response to. It's clearly the same CC as the PCGS and Stacks "capped die" examples.
I think it's the first one I've seen with TPG images. Kinda ballsy. https://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/6487720-001/62/ for reference.

I can agree with that. I said VF35 because I think the reverse pulls it down, lots of wear on the eagle. Give us an "after" picture if you get...
Don't be so humble! People thought there might be a half dollar reverse hub change for many years. You're the one who actually discovered it. And...
VF35, borderline ED on reverse.
Unfortunately the journal archives are hosted by NNP and only go through 2015. The new half dollar reverse article was in the Winter 2021 issue...
Gosh, that took me a minute to "get it." I must be getting old. It's nice to know that anybody reads and remembers. There's so much cool stuff in...
Two holes could also have been a button, or I've read that they would make a spinning toy using string.
All of them. The cert #s and grades are in the original post. Most of the PCGS ones also have images. I didn't check the NGC certs for images....
That's a little harsh. At the time it was done, they weren't collectible, they were just pocket change.
I agree. Almost anything with extra value is listed in a guidebook and visible with a 5x or at most 10x loupe. If you can only see it with a...
Separate names with a comma.
