I won an eBay auction Sunday night. I paid Monday at noon and the coin shipped from California that day. It is arriving today. This is the same...
The "broken S" is a well-known die variety and has nothing to do with the wear versus strike topic that this thread has evolved into. If you go...
Many of us enjoy playing the "To CAC or Not to CAC" game thread. It is fun and educational. We all know that CAC awards a green bean for a coin...

I use the Eva-Dry and they seem to work well and take about 12 hours to dry out when saturated. You just plug them into the wall outlet and the...
That is a cool temporal and spatial travelogue! Took me all over. If there is a theme, besides very nice examples, it is the universality of...
1) Make it incuse. 2) Reduce the relief, making Liberty more shallow. 3) Dish the obverse while keeping Liberty's relief the same, thereby...
Occasionally I see the word "dentilated" used in the following fashion: "The coin's obverse rim is dentilated whereas the reverse's rim is plain....
Is it QT or AT?
