I don't collect slabbed coins and know very little about grading, but I would expect a proof to have better centering. Or is the centering an...
I posted it because I thought it represented an interesting piece of our hobby. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, I have many like that. However, this one has characteristics of a lamination. It appears that the surfaces on either side of the crack are at...
I hope so sir. This is all I have left. I am not acquiring new coins, just going through the old ones for interesting features.
Ran across this cent today. Nothing rare or spectacular, but interesting. It has a very uniform but corroded look to it. A different look at...
Not as far as I can tell. It had this partial film over it. I soaked it for a couple of days and then just lifted it off. The surface under the...

I'm not going to start another long running set with multiple configurations. There will be P, D, S and W in Uncirculated, Proof, Reverse Proof,...

Small change means nothing today. There was a dime on the driveway at the dealership when I was talking to the service reps. I pointed it out to...
Here is another one I found in my stash. It has several die cracks on the forehead of Lincoln and a large chip on the left wheat stalk. [ATTACH]
It is a fun set. I terminated mine at the end of the original design. I don't want to start any new series of anything.
Nice job. Well as far as values I am curious also. They don't list them in the Red Book anymore.
The first couple of times I had that they did not sedate me. The last several times I have been sedated. But, talking with the anesthesiologist...
This one has a die break on the left Wheat Stalk that appears to also be a lamination. Is it a lamination, die crack or both? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks CN. I have tubs of coins that I have had for many years. This came from a tub of 50's. I am looking through a tub of 40's now.
