How common is MD on proof coins? Is that common for that period for these overused proof dies?
Isn't the one in the article a proof reverse, with a circulation/business strike obverse, as opposed to either a proof or a proof-like quarter? If...
"High grade"
It's definitely a Type B from the die markers I see (leaves touching the letters on reverse, and the space between E & S on the reverse). What if...
Yes - MD?
But it's so different - you get the best of both worlds: A strong strike, mirrored proof with cartwheel luster. It's like a proof-like coin on...
If it's definitely a proof strike coin, yet it has a very strong cartwheel luster like a fresh from the Mint BU coin, what is that called? I don't...
That green enamel makes sense, but I guess that coin was meant more for domestic collectors. I still think that a milk spot would be better lol.
If you have, say, a Pete Rose autographed edition PCGS slab of a Baseball Hall of Fame high relief silver dollar graded as PR-70 DCAM, and Pete...
Coins from Cuba are also not allowed to be labeled as such on eBay. There are other ways to term it but worst case scenario, you could have your...
I can see fingerprints developing on plain edged coins, especially on proofs.
Mods: Please move this to the main CT forum if you think it belongs there. Cuban coins seem to be very expensive, partly due to its relatively...
So perhaps something akin to a "star" designation for eye appeal, but going in the opposite direction? Maybe a "black hole" (a bold black dot) for...
Come to think of it, I may want to collect a proof coin with a famous, historic person's fingerprints on it. For instance, a silver WWII era proof...
I've read from all over that after a few days or so of a fingerprint's initial appearance on a coin, it becomes permanent. Specifically, the oils...
No, unless I'm already a silver bullion collector, and they're priced competitively with other bullion coins for a "small" amount over spot. Then,...
How about instead of a one-for-one imitation, a "few" more offerings for the collectors crowd? The US and Canada are a mile apart in terms of each...
This one came up just now on another thread I started, but it's relevant here. It's not an error, but it's considered by many as unattractive and...
Canada's MO seems to be to offer way more SKUs with lower mintage numbers compared to their US counterparts at the US Mint - specifically for...
This is a very old thread from 2013! I'd like to know what happened... But to @BET: If you're itching to sell, you should post pics of them here...
