Gosh that reverse die is something else. The obverse die isn't doing too well either.
Hard to rate a beheading scene as "appealing" but I gave it an 8 for the interesting factor.
Arrived a week ago, already posted in Barber thread so I'm repeating it here. Fairly uncommon Obv Type 2/Rev Type 2 combo. I enjoy it when a coin...
I don't even bother going there anymore. So much blather... My first thought was also "incomplete planchet punch" but I had no idea what to call...
Some of my favorite designs, thanks for sharing.
Oh brother. I guess I'll get some good deals then.
Completely agree. It originated for large cents by saying a "70" would be worth 70 times a "1". Kind of like Fahrenheit mixing salt and ice water...
I'm not sure why it matters. If there was an unusual number of them in this hoard, you might have a theory about where they were distributed. But...
Yes I guess they wouldn't be packaging it at the mint itself. Perhaps someone has the tracking history on a recent purchase to see where they...
The problem I see with that theory is that Coppell, TX surely cannot be the first USPS place it would show up from the US mint, can it? Seems like...
I got a "partner offer" email from NGC this morning for me to sign up for something called VaultBox. Apparently it's a sealed box of random NGCX...
You forgot PO1 and FR2. Generally I think it's a good concept - why are there currently 10 MS grades and only 4 AU grades? There's a lot of coins...
Just got their email. I'm sure this will provide lots of discussion.
That's pretty astounding, that you found exactly what could be predicted from an even distribution from 521 different dies.
Yes @Log Potato I joined a few years ago, wrote an article on the third 1900 quarter obverse last year. Lots of fun stuff in the early 1900s Barbers.
Not sure what happened, here's the link again....
Yes, die life would certainly be a factor, so it's a ballpark calculation. If all dies produced an average number, and your sample is an even...
Statistically that seems pretty accurate. There were 521 obverse dies used...
Might as well keep the thread alive. I've slowly started collecting all the 25c obv/rev type combos for 1900. 1/2 - common at all three mints...
I assume a raw ebay coin is details and will bid/buy accordingly, if I don't see an obvious problem. I don't worry about resale value because I'm...
