All the photographs of Mercury Gold dimes that I have seen look gold. The ones shown here all like like silver and from #29 I see we need a...
Was not able to see any doubled die. What did intrigue were the additional lines in the lower left side of the memorial steps: they look like...
I'm one of the ignorant who think the Indian isn't wearing any date.
The date seems sharper than the LIBERTY and the portrait. Perhaps it was minted separately but a little shy on metal for the 7. The outline for...
If that was a minting error it should be closed down.
The obverse of this coin is particularly attractive. Its illumination makes Liberty look real. I'm not a fan for toning, but this patina adds...
If you look carefully at the top of the ribbon it seems to be part of the left-hand column, a design error that Escher might like, and pulls away...
It's had a long hard live and should be put to rest in the bank. It can't even tell where it was minted, admitting only that i was sometime in...
Thanks for your prompt response. After looking at this VDB I see no relation to that "5" that appears on the earlier photos. Wish I could offer...
I don't even see any of the VDB. I do see that upside down "5" with a clear flat line which rules out an "S". But that doesn't help." Do you...
The photos are not doing justice to the coins. Some areas are too dark to read. Where there is more illumination, it is not uniform.
Photos look better than most of what we see.
Thank you. That will help
Numismatic definitions flourish with esoteric abbreviations, making me scurry around to find out that FB is exclusive for Mercury's full bands on...
When I sold my house and moved, the only coin album that didn't make it was the one with indian heads and Lincolns, including a 1909S VDB....
Yes, the coin seems overexposed and washed out. The date on the obverse has better contrast, but it also shows more light coming from 12 o'clock....
Inevitably there would be a host of objections on who was chosen to appear on the $20 bill, but Harriet Tubman was possible the most courageous...
Today's New York Times says it will be Harriet Tubman.
I won't stick my neck out with a grade estimate, but I can barely read the LIBERTY on the shield.
The illumination of the Lincoln is poorly handled. On both obs and rev the dark surfaces of the numbers and letters are inconsistent with a...
