As always, you are among the best with your explanations as you just know how to always make something complicated seem more understandable.
Well, I guess even the "gods" get things right. And I was actually hoping there was a miraculous chance it could be real, but knowing how the...
Believe it or not, there are some Type 1 blanks (no rim) and Type 2 planchets (blanks that have a rim) that actually can be given either a range...

I'll tell you what there, Ranger Rick... How about if it turns out to be a genuine unstruck Type 2 planchet with a reeded edge (not a weak strike,...
I would not submit it. It just isn't possible for it to be reeded yet it wasn't struck. Wouldn't hurt to have ANACS view it at the show. I would...

Never seen one like this before. There is a bit of a problem with this piece which is very difficult to ignore... The planchet is within the...
I feel like I have been collecting for many years simply to fill up slots for dates and mintmarks in sequence. Part of the fun is showing them to...
Yes, but only these below: Set of 1943 PDS MS67 CAC Steel cents with an MS65 D/D Set of MS66FS Silver-alloy War Nickels from 1942-1945 (some are...
