1880-O: About 50% of the genuine mintage have the normal-O, the other 50% have a micro-o. 1899-O About 80% of the genuine mintage have the...
I greatly prefer $1 coins over $1 bills. I've spent as many as 30 of the coins in a single transaction. Whenever I cash a check I usually ask for...
I've seen worse. Like the two death threats I received in 2007 for making "what if ?" Union of North America Amero coins.
No, because my Dad had passed away 3 months prior to that thread.
I have had a number of factual disagreements with Burdette on other forums about his writings. Much of it deals with the intricacies of minting...
There are significant differences between the situations. One of the most important being that the Westminster Mint case did not involve...
In denying the motion, the judge simply stated "The Court disagrees with Defendants' narrow application of the HPA" and as a justification for...

I do not claim "ownership" over the various fantasy dates. If someone else were to make "1964" Peace Dollars of some sort, I would not contemplate...

A few more coins have been located. It appears that the thieves sold stolen items at more than one shop along the Colorado "Front Range". There is...

The fantasy date is my signature. I did, however, put a "DC" on one of my over-strike issues (the 2009 "proofed" Silver Eagle over-strikes). When...
A denial of motion to dismiss the case does not establish that the Westminster Mint's products are illegal. And for some reason, Westminster Mint...
I have been informed that one of the stolen coins has already turned up on eBay. I have examined the pictures from the original owner and compared...
The HPA's definition of "original numismatic item": "anything which has been a part of a coinage or issue which has been used in exchange or has...
I understand your point. This forum is structured differently than others, apparently. It is, of course, up to the owners as to how that is...
I wouldn't do a 1922 no-D or 1922-D or 1922-S over-strike Lincoln Cent for the simple reason that, mint mark aside, "1922" is not a fantasy date...
