Honestly, I get more people interested in my errors, varieties, and counterfeits than my standard stuff!
That mark is an indentation into the planchet, so I am going with some sort of strike through
Haha. Not yet. But I do have dirt on all of them if I suspect funny business. (It was my sister's).
When not on display, mine can be found inside here. Just moved, bolted and welded this 700+ lb monstrosity to a custom metal housing fitting at a...
Many of you know me a little bit and know I enjoy collecting both 20th century silver sets and Mint errors. The best part for me is showing my...
