Roger Burdette was a member of that committee for a while. It basically sounded like they were useless bureaucracy, and had little pull. They'd...
It is offcenter, but not by much. Coins like that are worth a couple of bucks at most.
I know a guy who will counterfeit you just about any date of anything you want.
Really curious to hear about your experience when you are done.
For far more information, read my post here: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-science-of-toning.84670/ You can...
Honestly? No. Sorry.
Very nice coin, with attractive toning. I don't know anything about the VAM, but I do know PL: based on those pictures, the DMPL designation is...

Everyone has glossed over Larry's half-joking, half-serious answer. This looks just like the acid-etched Lincolns you see over in the "post mint...
There really is no hard and fast rule as to the relative value between PL and Proof strikes. Each series is different. For the Morgan, it is...
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think both of those coins are AT. I think both coins are probably also AU sliders. The two dates you have...
A "blank planchet" is definitely redundant and confusing. Review the terms: A "blank" and a "planchet" are two different things. Thus, to call...
Separate names with a comma.
