What I'm wondering is how do the TPGs and the serious error collectors figure it?
I saw that site and concluded it was far more work than I wanted to give it, especially since I don't think the percent off center should be...
Love the token. Hope you find it!
I would think percent off center and percent covered are two entirely different concepts. In an eclipse, the matter of concern is what area of...
Here is my poor example, bought for fifty cents from a flea market junk box. Took me years to discover it was a jeton made by Hanns Krauwinkel II...
Would this be a double error coin? First by the mint, then by ANACS. I have wondered how they calculate percent off center. My usual...
It seems more likely to me that, as far as circulation is concerned, memorials, and shields too for that matter, in the not-too-distant future...
Entry Post. I inherited this coin from my wife's aunt. I believe it is a 1939 American Trachy, probably a pattern piece and worth a fortune. It...
Thanks!
So true! I have found a couple of clipped planchets (in mint sewn bags so I know they were genuine) when as a kid I wrapped coins for a bank, and...
Alternately, the Secretary could decide the only amount of cents (and nickels?) were the amount needed to put in mint sets, proof sets, or other...
But it says the Secretary decides the necessary amount. If the Secretary decided the necessary amount were zero, then the "shall" would mean the...
Not questioning anyone's opinion on this (it looks replated to me as well), but what sorts of things would we expect to see in a coin that has...
I'm no lawyer, but wouldn't this mean that if the Secretary decided no cents were necessary the mint would not be required to make them?
I'm certainly no expert, but I can see there is some general rubbing, so the max would be AU. The weakness of the steps and left side of the...
Nice find from circulation, but not worth spending the money for grading. I always wonder where such a coin has been hiding all these years....
Cool coin. I'm very ignorant of the process of making dies in those days. Is it possible the bust was put on with a hub and the date and stars...
I have, but not in a while, and you had to ask for one. Before 1964 my bank (I was both a customer and part-time and summer employee as a kid)...
True, reparations were required to be paid in gold, or in foreign currency such as British pounds exchangeable for gold. This made it all but...
On the date given as the issue date on the German bill, the 1000 marks could have been taken to a bank and exchanged for 50 twenty mark gold...
