As far as I know, Philadelphia also added all mint marks to the dies. They were not shipping "blank" reverse dies to the branch mints. Those mints...
"Valued in the marketplace" is all a result of their marketing budgets. It may be objectively true, but only because marketing works. As someone...
I'm not sure if I understand - is there some question that they weren't minted in Denver? If you're asking about the die itself, I don't think...
There is a "centered S" from a single die (centered between R and D), quite scarce. The far right S was used from 1893-1897 and I think they were...
Pictures or a new thread somewhere?
Looking forward to your pics.
I recently did my first submission as well, but with ANACS and 16 Canadian coins. Also over the holidays, finally got them back Monday. I also...
Wear a disguise.
I'm guessing it was defaced like that because someone found out it was fake.
I don't think you can copyright a variety discovery. Your images of it, yes. Your article about it, sure. How are you going to "trademark" an RPD...
I recall that it was definitely going to be released in August 2020....

Dies were very expensive. Even the US mint used them until they gave out.
I don't want to go down a rabbit hole. You see my evidence. I disagree that any coin like the 1884-CC you posted had to have been cleaned in order...
I disagree with the whole premise that an "old" silver coin that is still bright white has to have had something done to it. Below have been in my...
Hopefully you're not sick of this thread. Perhaps someone will find it useful later. Here's the 1947 50c Maple Leaf, curved right 7, SP62 now,...
This 1947 $1 Maple Leaf they did not indicate conservation, but I'm certain they did. The "before" images again are 7 years old, this time outside...
Here's probably the best I can do of a before/after comparison (the "before" are 7 year old images). I'm almost as bad at photos as ANACS. This...
Separate names with a comma.
