Happy Birthday. You're doubly blessed.
How do you know the damage was done at the mint? Because they are packaged in OGP?
That's me you're referring to as less informed. So, I would still like to know what is the cause of this damage within the mint facility. And...
Thanks. If it is different in the 2023, I'd appreciate a nod. Many, maybe most, outfits now include this coin in the regular issue category:...
My 2019 Red Book does not list the 1792 half disme as a regular issue of the mint intended for circulation within the half dime listings. It also...
Very nice LS half. Regardless of grade, it's a nice looker. Oh, and Happy Birthday!
Well, I am waiting to hear what caused this damage and why it is particular to mint sets. Part of the mint set packaging process?
I initially voted to net grade the coin down to 66-67 but I am changing my opinion to MS-Details. I don't know how to change my vote in the poll....
@Paddy54, I was in the process of grading your coin when I saw you did the reveal. Here's what I was going to say (sheesh, a guy can't sleep in...
The lady I am working with had pretty good records and receipts that her father kept when he purchased at least some of the coins back in the 90s....

My wife has a friend (a professional woman and a person of some capability and intelligence) whose father passed a few years ago and left a large...

The idea of a descriptive narrative for "more expensive" coins would be a boon to collectors and dealers attempting to sell a coin to an internet...
Hey! I resemble that remark. I noticed that bidder 101 was bidding on tons of lots. Wonder who that was. Seriously, glad you had a great show...
Nice thread resurrection. But where is @physics-fan3.14? Haven't heard from him in a long time? Also, where's Waldo?
Certainly that chart reflects what we have all seen and heard more anecdotally so far this year. However, past is not prologue. We still have...
I would like to see a descriptive narrative of the details designation on the TPG's website for the coin. The label is too small for the amount...
