It seems natural. I put down that it was market acceptable. I really can't put my finger on proof of how natural it was or wasn't. If I were...
No, because there are no official mintage figures for specific VAMs. There aren't even official mintage figures for the various different major...
Alas, those aren't US coins. They'd be worth a ton more if they were, with a mintage of 200.
1913 Proof 1c -- 2,983 [IMG] If you aren't considering proof vs. business strike, then it's a 1938-D Arkansas 50c -- 3,155 [IMG]
The O is normal. I would look at the 82 if I wanted to attribute it.
I've never seen any coin graded below 60 designated as RD or RB. This would make the BN designation on circulated copper superfluous, even if...
There's a good reason I stickied that post. Everyone really needs to read it, as well as the article linked from it.
VAM 1C is a little scarce, but not rare. It's popular because of the pitted die and on the Hot 50 list. The R6 rating was an estimate of its...
The best way is to study real and fake trade dollars, then only buy certified coins with pictures you can verify on the TPG sites, and only from...
OP coin is a great example of when gorgeous color meets uber-high grade. I was looking through the PCGS pops and CoinFacts for images of the PR69...

It's a near date, so look at those. VAM 19 is one with the date a in the normal position.
Could be 10 years that I first put one of these together. I get requests for them now and then, but not often. The coins have to really warrant...
Color is a funny thing. There are 4 things that make it a moving target. Color of the light source, white balance of your camera, color of the...
Nice 1699 640 Reis for the Prime Number set. I need to find a suitable 1709 coin, then my set's complete 1669-1979. [IMG]
The only Charles II I have is a half crown. [ATTACH]
I think the photo is exaggerating these marks, possibly making them look like something they aren't. They should be metal flow lines, as I can...
Congrats on finishing the set. I agree with you on the '28. The next phase will be upgrading, which means your set will only get better and better.
It's real. Mint mark is normal, but banged up.
61, not worth grading. The big scuff on the cheek is probably in the worst place possible for this coin.
