@ldhair , is it my imagination, or is your "44" in the date a lot more skewed than the other 1944 coins posted in the replies?
@johnmilton and @IBetASilverDollar , thank you for your tips and your time. Well, I tried taking more pics just now. Owing to the limitation of...
Often times, I read your comments and shake my head. How do you know these things??? Amazing!
I like this series and am collecting them. The custom wood box for these are quite expensive, at around $80, I think.
Oh wow - then I'm not sure if it's a proof. I don't even know what a squared-off rim is (Hahaha)... I'll look it up. I need to sign off for now...
No, I don't believe so. But admittedly, I've never seen a proof gold coin before. However, I've seen proof silver coins, with their mirror-like...
Hi everyone. I have a 1905 Liberty Head $2.50 piece. Regrettably, besides this one, I've never seen any before in real life. But I've compared...
Another good insight from you, as always. Thanks.
I think I got so involved in the technicalities that I forgot my common sense! LOL.

Simple, but great tip. Thanks.
Thanks everyone, and especially to @steve.e and @IBetASilverDollar for the elaborations. Appreciate it.
I wish I had the 3 days for a "live" ANA grading course in Colorado. But for now, that's not possible, and so I read up as much as I can, when...
Wouldn't it be hilarious if the first few of these plaques that were produced had "VDB" on it somewhere, but was then removed? Hahaha.
There are no words to describe the craftsmanship. Amazing! Reminds me of Roman Booteen's works.
Great idea, thanks. But I'm afraid it won't work in my case. You see, I need to fit the coins into a nice wooden box (Collection of 19th Century...
Appreciate the link. Just checked - no dice. But thanks anyway! Maybe I'll have to settle for the next size up and live with a little jiggle.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to look for round air-tites for a Braided Hair cent (27.5mm) and a 2-Cent piece (23mm)? Perhaps my...
What's that on the hair under the "R"? Interesting. Very nice coins!!!
