How about using a harder alloy die that's sufficiently tough?
But couldn't the machines be set for lower speeds on denominations other than the penny? Thereby, keeping the penny speeds up and lowering the...
But in modern times, shouldn't we have sufficient technology to address these issues? Couldn't dies/hubs be milled by stock removal via...
That reminds me of the Brits vs the Spanish Armada, or the Ancient Greek ships vs the Persian fleet - nimbleness is often underrated.
I believe it may have been this war elephant mounted archers of Hannibal: [IMG]
If the US Mint is required by Congress to make US dollars according to their weight requirements, then is this why modern coins seem to lack the...
Thanks everyone for your input! I think the elephant I recall had a "tower" mounted atop, like the last coin. Probably a mounted elephant...
Thanks, I think the elephant was facing left just as the Roman Republic one you show, but there's a large-ish mount on it like a mini tower. When...
Can anyone help me identify which coin I recall seeing on here? It's a mounted war elephant. I think it was silver and it may have been someone's...
But what if some are found to be "perfect" under 6x and some are more flawed at 6x? This would assume that they're all MS-70. By the way, why...
But IMO, the first 8 numbers of pi is popular but uncommon enough as an interesting sequence; whereas, other methods of lining up numbers would be...
How about if one were to find a flaw at 10x magnification on an MS-70 coin? If, say, a popular coin publication were to run an article on that,...
I know that many paper note collectors like to seek out serial numbers with nice patterns or early sequences (e.g. 99999999, 00000001, etc.)....
Are there any examples of an MS/PF-70 * slabbed coins?
I understand that 70 is already perfect, with ideal brilliant luster, but what about proof coins? NGC says that it must have cameo on at least one...
lol yeah the thought of it will probably make many pass on it. True - as my former Logic professor once said in a more elegant way, you will...
I would have thought a Franklin but it really could be any dollar coin since the Peace dollar was in circulation then, too. And, good movie, right?
I should have clarified by adding "more" reflective, as slab prices tend to bring a premium, no matter how minuscule the amount. Aside: Your...
Thanks so much for that! It seems with these tokens that there wasn't as much of a standard control to keep varieties in check, as they're...
What happens if NGC makes an error on the attribution? Would you resubmit it and they'll cover the re-submission cost if you provide them with...
Separate names with a comma.
