I have seen several intact US Mint dies with my own eyes and held them in my hand. So they do exist. As for the '64 Peace dollar dies, I rather...
That would be a VERY good idea !
See post #6.
Trying to grade any coin by comparing it to the photographs of another coin is an effort in futility. This is because you can have a 100 coins all...
From an article first published in Coin World Sept. 16, 1996, by Michael P. Lantz - one of the mint employees who was there, who actually helped...
