Thanks. The reason I asked for the still pics is so that the result of misalignment could be more easily seen on the rims. To understand what...
Ahhhhh Jeff, that's one thing I love about you - you're as consistent as the sun coming up in the morning ;) But lemme ask ya, have ya ever...
Thanks. Pretty much what I expected your answer to be but I wanted to make sure I was interpreting your comments correctly, and, FWIW, we are in...
Well, one thing has to be understood and simply accepted - there is nothing we can do to stop toning. Every coin there is begins to tone the...
This is the response I got back from Bill, word for word. All such information would have come from the Mint itself. I do not recall whether we...
Lots of good questions and good comments asked and made since my last post in this thread. But before I comment any further I'd like to ask...
Just curious, 2 questions. One - I'm not sure what your response indicates. Yes or no, do you find the coin MA ? And two - if you knew for a fact...

Or you can simply buy the book and see for yourself if they do cite their source :)
I think to really make sense of this we have to look at pictures of both the coins involved side by side. So here's the one in this thread - call...
That's because they took the trouble to dig them up. To my knowledge, it is the only readily available publication that list the tolerances. As to...
Highly unlikely ! Do you know why ? About 99.9% of the time it's an accident, pure chance. To start with few ever pay attention to the date on...
Possible, but it looks to have been polished to me. Which if done in a certain way produces a satiny look.
Well Randy I'd have to disagree. Ya see, I believe the comments, the one(s) you are referring to, are caused by honest ignorance - not by some...
That's the book I was referring to, never had a copy myself. And I have to admit I was unaware that they doubled the tolerance for silver...
And that's kind of the key point to it all. It is the difference(s) in the height, width, and uniformity of the ridges that defines what we see,...
Separate names with a comma.
