Doug is right, you have to look at the authorizing legislation. On some of the commemorative coins they actually specify a sales period and they...
Grease strike through is very unlikely because the initials on the die are RAISED not incuse. More likely is the initials were polished off the...
But it is the source of the legal name of the coin. The mint is the source of the physical coin, the law is the source of the name.
Because they made a bunch of them ahead of time and then sales weren't great so they still have a bunch on hand. So they are just keeping them on...
Many people don't seem to realize that "sorted" is not the same as "searched". If I have my nephew, who knows nothing about and has no interest...
And if someone just runs up your max bid but you still win, you paid more than you had to. So you overpaid even though you paid less than you...
Because every now and then I need to reference some information on a recent issue. My last Redbook is a 2014 edition and only has up to date...
For those who don't know, the wreath is supposed to be roughly symmetrical. But on the punch made for the shield/wreath they erred and the second...

Go to the actual source. The law says it's a cent. :) 31 U.S. Code § 5112 - Denominations, specifications, and design of coins (a)The...
Blowing up the images the best thing I saw in there was an 1895 O. Not a bad coin but not good enough to put the lot to the level it sold for.
About an average price, and there are no overdates for this year. There is a repunched date N-19, but this isn't it. N-19 has an italic 5 and...
The 1995 MAY have started off life as being struck on a non-plated planchet, but with the current wear and corrosion there is no way to tell if it...
Peach juice :)

Separate names with a comma.
