Oooooh. Gives us back our pretty precioussss.
LMBO :D
Very nice write up and some history I did not know about. That second medal sure is busy but shows what can be included when designed by the right...
@Shinyjack Nice example of a later stage die. Note that you will most always see die cracks or chips on Philadelphia coins before you will see...
As an aside Did you know your screen name @Cowinthehole is the same way that Howe Caverns in New York State were found? A cow fell in a hole and...
Very nice and very easy to see. Congrats.
LOL. I was the shortest kid in school up to the 6th grade. I was the youngest in my class the whole time. I am 1/2 Polish, 1/4 Irish and 1/4...
I would not bid at all at any price. There are no damaged coins in my complete set minus this coin. Therefore, I would not dishonor my collection...

Could it also possibly be a token blank?
Very nice indeed. They look like they are having a blast. My oldest, now soon to be 43 has a love for coins as I started him early. He has set it...
IMHO the 1922 no D, the 1955 and 1972 doubled dies should never have slots been placed in albums. It leaves a few gaping holes that most could not...
Possibly a Mahjong or massage parlor token.
I accumulated a whole roll of these early on and they also have the Trail Die at "Liberty" (1DEO-002T)> These were hot early on but the thrill has...
That's a lot different from what I've seen. The rinsing process I saw left spots like on the Lincoln Cents. I had a bad batch of 2002's direct...
I see some worn die issues. This year and mint mark were also notorious for RPM's. So many in fact that John Wexler devoted an entire book to...
Separate names with a comma.
