Yes I guess they wouldn't be packaging it at the mint itself. Perhaps someone has the tracking history on a recent purchase to see where they...
The problem I see with that theory is that Coppell, TX surely cannot be the first USPS place it would show up from the US mint, can it? Seems like...
I got a "partner offer" email from NGC this morning for me to sign up for something called VaultBox. Apparently it's a sealed box of random NGCX...
You forgot PO1 and FR2. Generally I think it's a good concept - why are there currently 10 MS grades and only 4 AU grades? There's a lot of coins...
Just got their email. I'm sure this will provide lots of discussion.
That's pretty astounding, that you found exactly what could be predicted from an even distribution from 521 different dies.
Yes @Log Potato I joined a few years ago, wrote an article on the third 1900 quarter obverse last year. Lots of fun stuff in the early 1900s Barbers.
Not sure what happened, here's the link again....
Yes, die life would certainly be a factor, so it's a ballpark calculation. If all dies produced an average number, and your sample is an even...
Statistically that seems pretty accurate. There were 521 obverse dies used...
Might as well keep the thread alive. I've slowly started collecting all the 25c obv/rev type combos for 1900. 1/2 - common at all three mints...
I assume a raw ebay coin is details and will bid/buy accordingly, if I don't see an obvious problem. I don't worry about resale value because I'm...
Here's where I saw it, repeating something from a 1953 Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine. No doubt the same story was repeated and published many...
That's a good observation. Newman sold his Liberty nickel in 1949 and the 09/2011 Numismatist article indicates the Buffalo pattern (presumed...
I love topics like this that cause me to dig in and learn something new. So, here is the famous coin case. [ATTACH] A September 2011 Numismatist...
Looks whizzed.
Another interesting tidbit I ran into is that the "copper" 1913 Indian Head (Type II), which was in the 8-coin case, has apparently been...
Yes, the Olsen example. Another long but interesting write up on that one is here...
I'm always entertained by how many late 60s coins are still kicking around out there.
Don't forget the 2022 quarter.
