I understand your desire for a hard copy. Here is a great list of the current standards. Each of these books is available in hard copy, but have...
Are you looking for date by date analysis? The history of the series? Variety information? Are you looking for a particular series? Quarter?...
I'm at 62. Those big scrapes in the obverse field to the right of her head hurt this coin.
Sometimes a horse had that job ;) https://www.thevintagenews.com/2016/03/03/the-early-modern-period-striking-coins-with-a-screw-press/
If I look closely, I see what appears to be a "lighter spot" just north of the rim ding. This looks like displaced metal, to me. A "rim ding"...
You mean the TR of Trust on the obverse? That's a weak strike. Lehigh and I have gone back back on forth on this many times, but it's considered...
It's numismatic short-hand for "3 O'clock" k3 is 3PM on the dial face.

The rim has always been part of the die for closed collar coins. I recall @TypeCoin971793 describing the dentils on early US coinage extending...

I have an Excel spreadsheet that I've maintained for the last 25 years. It tracks every coin I have ever owned, in great detail.
I have a question, too.... You're going to need to give us a few more details than that. Let's start with "What Website?"
Necessary details: - Were the two sales of the same grade? - Is the coin certified? - Compare the eye appeal of the two examples - Which one...
It's been cleaned and polished, and retoned (possibly with assistance). The marks in the obverse left field also look like whizzing.
I don't know what y'all did for Summer Fun 2019, but I arranged the get-together for Winter FUN 2020. I registered CoinTalk as a member-club with...
The spots should be conserved before they do damage to the coin. Assuming that, once the spots are removed, this would grade 64 RD, a proof (no...
I have nothing to add to this thread except to say, that was a fascinating article and really cool coins!
