The point of that article is to show how they are different. Merc dimes need only the horizontals because they are in higher relief than the...
I agree with Larry that your coin exhibits machine doubling. That's some of the most extreme I've ever seen on a Franklin, but I still think it's...
Alrighty. Time to call this one, I think. We had 30 guesses, with an average of 63.2. This is actually a 64, and I think its a pretty nice one....
Yes, your coin is absolutely a bugs bunny. There are two different dies known for the date. Your first post is die #2, your second all appear to...
Same here. Just made my reservations, I will be there this year. It has been a few years since I went, so I'm looking forward to it. I'll check...

Ah, I do remember that thread now that you mention it. Many things were said. It would be cool to see a progression of the disintegration of...

To clarify further - all cents were minted at Philadelphia at this time. Because Philadelphia was the mother mint, her coins did not have a...
Thanks! It seems that some countries tended to make PL coins more than others. Sweden, Mexico, and Russia come immediately to mind. Here are a...
Yeah, you're right there's going to be a fight. This is an *incredibly* hard coin to grade if you don't understand what you're looking at....
Is there luster on it in hand that we just aren't seeing in the pictures? Because a coin of that grade needs luster. That toning is so thick that...
I too agree with an AU grade on this. As for the toning... this is really difficult. There are some aspects of it that I really like, but there...
Time for the big reveal! NGC called this one 66 PL. There were quite a few votes for 64. 64 is just too low for this coin. I'm not sure if...
No.
