Hard to say, you are asking a question on a thread that died out six years ago, and the person you are asking hasn't been here for three years.
The reason the individual coins list for more than the whole set is because of the extra the dealer has to charge to make up for the headache of...
That would work, I believe. I don't think the anvil would melt. I was actually thinking of mercury so we could do it at room temperature. More...
Definitely not the same coin. The sellers photo has a die crack from the third leaf clust to the rim at two o'clock that yours doesn't have and...
Anvils will float if you use the right liquid.
S-65 S-64 has the same obv, but it doesn't have the cracks through the date, and once you know the obv the rev crack left of S2 nails it as S-65....
Struck thru grease. The 1989's were well known for this as were the 2000 NH state quarters, but it can happen on any year. Since the mintmarks...
Photoseal is in the Slabbook. The others didn't come along until after the book was published. If I ever get the seconed edition done the other...
My understanding is they scanned actual coins to get the computer image they used to create the master hub. Of course they changed the date on...
As mentioned Photoseal is not "another" sticker, it was the first one. It dates back to 1999 or early 2000. I believe there is only one variety...
Yes that's what they did. Of course now that they have changed their guarantee so that it doesn't cover coins that "go bad" after they have been...
But the size of the coins they scanned to get the images in the computer might matter. Of course they still could do touchups on the computer...
Considering the rim damage, and the fact that it looks like the top of the head is depressed I'm thinking PSD.
Unless you are using as in the case of the Sheldon rarity scale in which case it IS specific. A coin is not "rare" unless there are fewer than 75...
Starting in 1798 the mint was experimenting with trying to hub the entire reverse die. About half of the 1798's and all of the 1800 reverses were...
Cheap way to get a "custom" Capital Plastic holder. Buy two of the 2x2 small dollar CP holders for each one. Now make a four layer holder...
Problems is very very few of them are either of those two things. And being a proof can go a long way to making any coin look good. Even a...
ANACS is certifying entire sets, but at the moment only the 1947 - 58 double mint sets and they aren't leaving them in the original holder as the...
I think PCGS lost a zero in that estimate. Back in the 1960's the average die life for dimes was 500,000. Nickels which have the lowest die life...
I don't have an example of that holder (I'm one of the weirdos that collects holders.) There have been two other services that used ACGS as well,...
Separate names with a comma.
