I had a conversation with John Feigenbaum last week. Among other things we chatted about, CPG 6.3 is coming out this summer.

That's a juicy fingerprint gone bad. The "Bugs Bunny" clash is not very strong on some. As it is a clash mark, it likely shows up on several die...
I found the most recent auction it was bought from but didn't look further.
Central States is an easy show for me to attend. 10 minutes drive, 15 if I miss the two left turn arrows. I got to the show at about 9:10 Thursday...
Agree that it's VAM 6A given the rim cud. Only a few die pairs with that low mintage.
I get refunds on about 1/3 of Express Mail stuff.
I'll be there Thursday through Saturday, table 805 doing pictures, also wandering looking for stuff now and then.
Yes, those are clashes. No way to tell from the pictures if the thing above the 8 or below the E are anything other than hits on the coin.
For 1880, you're going to need sharp closeups, especially since there's no mint mark position to go on and the date position is fixed. Is there...
My first reaction from these pictures is harshly cleaned. Monroes don't tend to look like this.
John Roberts is their director of attribution services. We know each other quite well, as we've both been heavily involved with VAMs for a long...
On the surface, it looks like a flip-over double strike, 2nd strike out of collar, that has been damaged. If genuine, worth a lot, even with the...
I thought about the 1493 half groschen, but it's a bit rough, as you say. Slim pickin's for attractive 15th century dates I need.
You'll have to keep your 5th edition Vol 2, because 6.2 only goes up to quarters.
I have one of these. I told Ron on A.D. III EID MAR or PRID EID MAR to have the PO date stamp all the flip inserts. Glad he did!
Cameo doesn't have anything to do with PL/DMPL, only mirror depth. The marks on the cheek and left obverse field look a bit strange. It does...
Not true. CSNS has been gaining steam over the past few years. Long Beach, on the other hand is dying fast. That said, the ANA show is the one...
If I look at how the coins are made, I see a lot of "distinction without a difference" in your list. For me, there are business strikes, proofs,...
Many have bought them. They are all scams.
