My next hurdle: When the lines are so "fine" and almost microscopic, how do you know if they're raised of incused? I can't tell from the photos....
Interesting. How is one distinguished from the other? Thanks.
Very interesting. And a bit sad. Maybe it's a reversible trend.
When you get the chance, I think I'd enjoy reading your thoughts on what has changed - and what has pretty much remained the same - over those 60...
That made me laughed!!! So you've got a birthday to consider almost every other week!!! WOW!
You're right. I should've clarified. (I'll go back to edit). I didn't mean all P,D,S, and of course, just "genuine" or average circulated.

I think I posted that 24 days too soon.
You should try 'em Sal. They're very good. And if you're lucky enough (like with the Cheerios), some boxes come with coins, hidden beneath the...
I was wondering what they were, until you mentioned that they were pomegranates. I wonder if there are many coins with fruits on them...
From this forum, I learned what a dropped element is. But can you explain what is meant by "retained or not"? I don't know what that means....
I wonder how a dealer could even consider such a thing took place.
@eddiespin In posts #71 and #72, I included an example of how the wheatstalk lines can transform when resolution goes down. But, as I said, you...
Good point. Now I'm curious too. I have a 1930-something AU/BU LWC. I'll try to see if I can replicate the SensibleSal effect late today or on Sunday.
Separate names with a comma.
