O-109s don't have the stem through the claw. It's actually 115--another common DM for the year although the prime state with no obverse die cracks...
Not just you.
The scratch is there for all to see. It was seen and evaluated by the grading team. It is why the coin only received a 63 grade instead of 65.
Solid XF that on the right (wrong?) day gets an eye candy bump to AU. O-106 (supposedly R-2, but in reality scarcer than that)
But still much better looking than that monstrosity that replaced it. NOTHING--no matter how nice the design might look--can overcome that baby...

First reaction? The same one I had with the Ike...with the Sac...with the Presidents... Ho hum, another unwanted and unnecessary coin that the...
That's because there isn't anything that's not good about the offer. People many times complain simply because they are too lazy to read about...
First coin in what way? That I ever had? Don't know, but probably a cent for the gumball machine. That got me started collecting? 1917 Type 1...

I always liked the double dime and thought that it actually made more sense than the quarter. Here's her slightly younger cousin from...
Yes, and yes. Still a nice coin, though.
And if that was the OP's premise then once again I repeat none of them...if, OTOH, his premise was obsolete denomination then again I would say...
Just as I said before, NONE of them (or any other previous design) should be brought back. They served their time faithfully. Try hiring a...
No would be correct.
Why do people crack open graded slabs?? Because I prefer to collect them that way. I would buy raw coins, but other people seem to want to put...
None...why bring back what has already had its day in the sun? This is why I so hate the re-releases of classic series as commemoratives....
If the price was right I would be willing to own it long enough to flip it. For example, if I found it in a dealer's extras box.;)
Once again, what is not to trust about them? They grade fairly. They pay fairly when selling to them or so I have heard from many people over...
And there is no reason that they shouldn't be. They have brought more collectors into the hobby than any dealership since B Max Mehl. Don't want...
