Wow!!! Smokes! Thanks. So the infused rectangle with the "dot" is the "E"! @-jeffB, million thanks for your help!
@-jeffB - Admittedly, I had to look up what a die clash is. Now that (I think) I know what it is, I have more questions. Strictly from a Layman's...
Have a look at this Standing Liberty Quarter. To the left (our left) of her right knee, you'll see a small incused rectangle with a raised dot at...
Neat calibration trick! Thanks. I'm going to remember that!
I never really even noticed that till you said it!
Wow, I'm curious too! Can't wait to read what the experts here have to say.
May I make a suggestion? Why not turn this into a chance to start a part-time hobby! Buy an empty folder or album, "Coins of the 20th Century."...
@johnmilton , when you ordered custom made ones, how did you convey what you wanted? Did you have to send in a sketch? Also, did Capitol send you...

Now you got my curiousity up. I'm going to check the prices of silver during that time.
Before I had researched a bit more about it, I was under the impression that ALL 1976-S proof Ike Dollars were 40% silver. Now I know that it's...
How big is that Wheel of Life coin? Must be huge to get all those details. Is this the SmartMinting technology I wonder.
Thanks! Oh, by "a separate set of rules," I meant if the guidelines you provided for me differ between 1976-S and 1976-S Proofs. And yeap, I'm...
I need help with something that's a bit confusing (for me). The more I read up, the more information I get (mostly about Types I and II) but my...
Wow, a coin with TWO different countries? That's interesting.
I checked out the prices on ebay for the pair. About $130! Need to work lots of overtime shifts at Mickey Dees now! LOL. Haven't gone through...
