Okay, it's been a couple of months, work, life etc. slowed things down a bit. As mentioned previously, I have been migrating much of the...
Great post - after only a short time my first "favorite" is the Washington/Revolutionary War design. But if I was doing a type set, I might go...
I believe one of the issues with the low-quality moderns (prior to the mid-nineties) is based on the fact that the Denver mint was pushed to...
I get all of the hate on these, especially considering the way the idiot director "handled" the whole thing, but I am intrigued. The cent has been...
I personally feel the mint got it right this time. The dime and quarter designs are extremely well done; I am excited to start finding them as...
Santa, huh? Not sure how to tell you this...

I'm not a collector of matte proofs, have only looked at a few in hand so would not want to give you bad info. The website though has some...
Beautiful cent: I'd take it either way. From the Lincoln Cent Collection website: 1913 Matte Proof Die Characteristics "The edge of a matte...

It's just progress. I remember going to the grocery store with my mother, she was dressed to then nines, hair done up and in a nice dress. She...
It's always fun trying to figure out how/why someone intentionally altered coins like this. I would agree with @BRandM and @physics-fan3.14 that...
There is an excellent resource for mint bags from Pete Smith. Here is a copy of a photo he shows (page 11) of a 1971 Denver cent bag. Newman...
It's a shame that something that could have been a truly momentous finale to perhaps the most well-known single item in our country's history...
Altogether very cool finds. P&G, are you doing this directly from the 1971 mint bag? If so, can we see/get the specs on it? pictures, coin count,...
You guys have really gone off the rails on this one! Started with fake morgans and now on trout fishing - not complaining, actually enjoying the ride.
Could it possibly have gotten cold enough that it caused that? It does look like a freeze pattern to me.
