Good question - here is what I found: https://www.usacoinbook.com/coin-melt-values/ I recall I read an article explaining why the mint had to...
Of course. But it was produced in Philly. I think the OP titled it D? because of the appearance.
Keep in mind that the coin needs to hold the approximate value as its face value. The mint did significant study on proposed...
1947 P. I think the damage is somewhat well placed to appear as a D but it’s too high.
As noted by P&G...deterioration. As a general note, anytime the Monticello has the appearance of doubling, it is almost always the result of a...

The best way for members to help other members is by providing the basics with their specimens. Full obverse and reverse shots. Edge shots,...
Paddyman is saying the reverse was exposed to conditions to cause unusual toning to the reverse and that the reverse clad is in fact, not missing....
I’m with Jim; washer or dryer drum.
I think DDO. There is also signs of DD, but the tell in my opinion is the base of the T and Y in LIBERTY. In my experience, there are tons of...
