I think the white stripe is just hidden in the picture at the top. The high speed press strikes stand out like sore thumbs. They aren't pretty...
These are pretty well known but ignored because they're ugly. As the production of the 40% sets was winding down in July, '76 (IMS) the mint...
There's also the '76-S Unc run off on high speed presses. The coin is so ugly people usually don't consider it so much distinct as simply ugly.
Krause is not a very good guide to pricing moderns. It will get you to between about 20% and 300% of the price for older coins but most moderns...
That mark appears deep. It's typical that they are marked up a lot and only about 1.5% are fairly clean and gemmy. About 70% used to be nice...
These sets were never sealed. It is believed a few of the pre-'65 sets were shipped sealed but no '69 mint set was intentionally sealed by the...
I don't know why they won't fix the prices in Krause. A lot of coins are vastly overpriced and a lot are vastly underpriced. It's the...
Cool! I'll have to update my 2005 edition.
If it's a myth it might be my fault. The fact is that back in those days that no one ever looked at his coins except to pluck out silver there...
One of the reasons the '65 SMS's came out so late in the year is that they shipped the old numismatic (proof) presses to San Francisco from...
San Francisco also minted all denominations for circulation in 1965 - '67. Many of these were minted with retired SMS dies.
Many of the '82-NMM dimes were found in bags of Philly dimes that had been returned to the banks at the end of the seasin by Cedar Point Amusement...
The lettering all sits in intact PL fields. These are all EDS and vEDS.

Thanks GDJMSP. It's appreciated. With all that build up I better not be wrong. I've got a few more details. The PL obverse surfaces are...
It's no problem guys. I'm still waiting for someone to find one. ;)
I found a few rolls from mint sets and just "did the math". The sample size is still too small to get a highly accurate number but I'm about 90%...
Yeah, I know. You really need to ave both in front you to compare. In this case it's not quite as important to have both since the difference...
I believe I'm the first to discover it (just yesterday) or at least that no one has been letting on that it exists. These really are pretty...
Surprisingly enough it's a really dramatically different reverse that has escaped notice, probably because there are so many other interesting...
