Wow....that really bothers me.....I was completely unaware of this. :confused:
I'm sure someone can give you a better definition than me, but let me start. Because of the demand for coins that are "white," people will dip a...
It looks like natural toning to me.....a nice subtle rim toning.
If I remember correctly, the 1955 "Bugs Bunny" die clash is actually more common than the 1955 without the die clash. Someone please correct me...
Pictures are always tough, but I have seen 1885-O Morgans with similarly weak strikes in MS-65 holders. This date seems to have a lot of poorly...
