Well, there are noticeable differences in coins made at different mints. The problem is that with modern coins you often need high magnification...
You know, I thought the same thing at one point. But I think that it's a case of someone just throwing everything plus the kitchen sink out there...
I agree with it being worth little, but I don't think it's a reflection. It shows pretty clearly and consistently on some parts, as does the...
Not necessarily after it left the mint, but certainly after it left the die. It's more accurate to call it post strike damage rather than post...

Don't think so, they didn't even issue any gold patterns. There are 20 and 100 reichsmark gold coins with Hitler and a swastika on them, but these...
I feel exactly the same way about US merchant counterstamps. Thanks for reading. =) - Dmitry
Got it, I'm sure they'll show back up eventually. Thanks for looking for them. =)
Actually the NGC price guide is free and shows trends for several years on any particular coin in any particular grade. All you have to do is look...
Good and informative article, thanks for posting. =)
