Do you think a ten sided planchet for a twelve sided coin was struck by the Kennedy dies? I'm curious how you think this happened. Do you have any...
Thanks for the clarification Mike! I'm going to have to check this one out.
It seems to me that lots of the "hot" coins are current issue U.S. Mint releases. Think gold Kennedys, Baseball Hall of Fame, Sacajawea coin and...
I think the unclear terminology used to describe the blemishes on the ASE are creating some confusion here. Whitish spots have developed on coins...
Well @doug5353 , I'm not really the guy to answer that question, because I don't know. Like you, I find it interesting that this is a new...

Ya, he nailed that one. I was able to find some of his writings but the websites are blocked for some reason in here.
Great coin and I'm happy for you that it arrived! I bet the seller is pleased that it wasn't a loss for them either.
The milk spots on ASEs and other bullion coins like Maple Leaves do not wipe off with a micro fiber cloth. But if you've found one that does, I...
@OdedPaz Thus far I've found on TokenCatalog.com a pretty rough looking one that you don't have. I don't know off-hand, but I'm going to keep...
@Circus Not a problem at all! Here's the link: http://www.coinbooks.org/club_nbs_esylum_v14n18.html#article4 I read and saved the PDF you linked...
