How do the devices get their frosty appearance? Are the die's device areas treated with some sort of substance? I can't imagine it being any sort...
I think that the real test is, can I actually tell the difference between a DMPL and Proof Morgan? I have no idea, as I've never seen a DMPL...
lol yes, I understood that point. I was just thinking that with all of the year-to-year redundancies in coin design (e.g. 1931-1998 quarters are...
Yeah, I wish they made all coins with much higher reliefs than today's coins - higher reliefs are always nicer, and that's not my only qualm with...
There are thousands of streets named Main St. and State St., so we could make a coin to honor the name Main St. and State St. It's a staple of US...
Main St. and State St., ad infinitum. Maybe vice presidents should get their spotlight in some small way like on the quarter's reverse.
I only collect the one silver proof quarter for my state. Never really gave it much thought on the rest. Maybe if they come out with a 200 year...
Technically yes! I saw one of those in a slab. I believe it was a dime.
I'd still pick it up... it'd be easier to read, too; not to mention the errors and other varieties. The treasure hunter in me will never fade.
According to www.coinauctionshelp.com with excerpt below, it emphasizes how differently proof and business strike dies were prepared: "A Deep...
But wouldn't the relief heights of a multiple-struck Proof strike coin be discernible, down to the fractions of a mm? Thereby, wouldn't the coin...
EDIT: I apologize in advance for the long read - my curiosity takes its toll... I put in bold the more concise points (via question), and...
Yes, it definitely appears as large beads - that test I found only made it confusing. Maybe it's large beads that line up, so perhaps the "test"...
Yeah I thought it was too good to be true. Now I'll know to avoid them - thanks!
Maybe 5 stacks or so of 100 $1-bills.
Are those clear blocks of lucite-encased notes real or fake? I figure that the top and bottom ones are authentic one dollar US notes... but the...
From what I've read online, the beads are smaller (obviously) than the large bead variety, and the spacing between the beads is greater. But also,...
None taken. I think it's a wonderful coin with a different style. But mostly I got it because that cattle/bovine creature looks hilarious.
Thanks for that comprehensive response. I forgot about the transition year coins.
To clarify and narrow down the type of error I mean, using a nickel as an example, I mean a nickel struck on a planchet for say a penny, but is of...
Separate names with a comma.
