Yes, the Small Motto design was never intended to be anything other than a pattern. Frankly, no one knows certainly why proof and circulation...
It looks like some kind of encrustation or deposit. Can't really determine the color of it since the entire photo is not color accurate. But...
No idea. I can't recall ever having seen that shadow effect. But then I've not been collecting but 5 years.
I voted for "scuff".
Well, I voted for weak strike, out of tolerance planchet and low pressure strike. I am leaning toward out of tolerance planchet, though, because...
It looks like pretty harsh die polishing to me. I don't see any marks across the devices and the marks stop abruptly at the edges of the devices....
My Large Motto and Small Motto coins. I tell the Small Motto quickly from the CCW rotation of the G in GOD. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Very nice coin!.. Not sure in my own mind that it would go 66 but it might despite a bit of what looks like cheek chatter and a small nick in the...
I don't know the answer to your specific situation. All I can tell you is that back in 2019 when I decided to collect all the Braided Hair Half...

And others: right of U, between tip of olive branch and lowest arrowhead. In photos, none of them seem really bad so maybe this coin is on the...
About 7 out of 10 show dealers I buy from volunteer a receipt. Of the remaining 3, 2 of them will give a receipt if asked. The last one is...
Receipts for everything. All data entered into Excel. Photos of everything tied back to listings in Excel. All computer files backed up on...
All of the genuine 1827s use the same obverse. That is why the date is the same on all genuine pieces regardless of when struck. This obverse...
Absolutely correct @KBBPLL. The genuine one on the right is the 1827 B-2, Late die state. Characteristic is the rusted die marks at the date and...
That is often true where the real one is more or less common. But I don't think it would be the case for a 1827 quarter. They are so rare (R-7...
It is not the B-1 nor the B-2, the only two die marriages for the year. Neither obverse nor reverse are correct. Reeded edge is correct for this...
A few years ago a dealer showed me his dateless 1916 SLQ in a PCGS slab graded P-01.
