I didn't know him, and wasn't familiar with his work - but it is clear to see that his legacy lives on in the respect and knowledge that y'all are...
That's an interesting idea for a collection. Really cool.
I see quarters in my change less and less because I always use a debit or credit card - as does an increasing share of the population.
Do you know what kind of material the foam is made from? If you can smell it, I wouldn't trust it for long term storage. I believe these types...
I think you mean: add a prominent "COPY" in compliance with the law, and you're still questionable.
I think I'll go with 64 on this one. There are quite a few marks, but none of them really seems that severe and the PL fields tend to magnify...
I don't see anything abnormal about this coin. Could you describe in a little more detail what you are seeing?
Normally, I'm skeptical when people say "look at this super high grade coin, do you think it will get MS-73?" However, I think this time you...
Dang, that strike on the 53S Franklin is amazing! It would definitely not FBL at NGC, but I think you may have a chance (worth trying at least...
I owned this one for a while, PCGS VF-35. I like these coins, but decided not to go in this direction (because they are rather pricey). [ATTACH]...
So its like a sample they sent out to the banks, so people could see them before the rest were released for circulation? That's pretty cool....
I currently work as a nuclear physicist, contracting for the US Navy. 1 misfired neutron + 1 kg uranium = 1 big friken hole in the ground Same...
Rotated dies are fairly common. Yours appears to be around 45 degrees, which isn't too significant (up to 15 degrees off is still within mint...
Bonus points if you actually put the coins on a clock face and make an actual clock out of it. ;) I've also seen it done with off-center cents....
Yup, that is an MTT. The originals are quite scarce, but restrikes have been made for hundreds of years. They are fascinating, and historically...
Smell them: if they smell like a shower curtain, they have PVC. Feel them: if they have an oily feel, they have PVC. Bend them: if they are...
Yeah, I'm going to go with "definitely not."
So is that a satchel of pokeballs the dude is holding?
If I understand what you are saying, I think you are on the right track. Die polishing will change the surface of the die, which may affect metal...
I think the reverse is a 64 all day long, but I think there is too much going on with Liberty's cheek. I think the obverse brings this down to a 63.
