I'm not arguing that point either way. If having coins for "coins sake" is why they're made, I would love to see new half cents...or two...
I think if you can zoom in enough on my small fonts, you'll see which is DD and which is MD. I think we're in agreement.
...and I ask again, why? Have collectors stopped collecting...half cents, two cents, three cents, twenty cents, etc? Really? ...you get a lot...
This may clarify things...there may be both DD and MD happening here (sorry for the small font). [IMG]
...so why not bring back the half cent? ...I love half cents!
To begin with, the mintage listed in the Red Book doesn't represent the surviving population...which is even less by grade. Secondly, the Red Book...
Why? Even in 1857, the last year of the half cent, there's never been a US coin with less purchasing power than today's dime. In other words,...
No...you titled the post "my second dual die find of the day!". What exactly is a "dual die" coin? EDIT: Dang! ...missed my auction!
Agreed...the "2" appears to show DD in that pic. However, if I'm gonna pay a premium for a doubled die coin, I want it to look like this...:thumb:...

I don't know how TPG grading is affected by carbon spots, but I imagine it attempts to reflect the sentiment of the marketplace. I wouldn't buy a...
Congrats!! :hail: I'm still looking for the right 1928P to finish mine.
I find that wrapping them in old underwear is more secure than a safe. :thumb: (my underwear, anyway)
I have nothing to add...:eek:
...not if you buy 'em all, keep one, and destroy the rest! :thumb:
Well, I've been very pleased with your product. The problem is...it works so well, I'm thinking about sending some of the coins in for grading. I...
...yaddie, yaddie, yaddah :goof:. What I would like to know (should you care to share) is...how many Verdicare™ treated coins have you (BadThad)...
I really don't know. I've "heard" that TPGs use "sniffers" that check for the presence of chemicals. I've never treated a coin with Verdicare™ and...
