It is just the result of an immature teenage boys mind. They have nothing really to do with brothel houses or the price of services. As John...
Yes there is. Grade is determined by wear, and for MS by strike/surface marks. Wear is determined by examination of the high points to see if...
I'd say the diagonal marks are post mint damage, and occured after the coin was well worn. Look at the edges of the grip marks, they are rounded...
Then it would be a lot more common. In circulated condition these are a kind of grade rarity. Of all the 1950 D nickels made probably 95%+ are...
