Witness mark from the reverse die. Also a bit of a heavy engraving tool touch up. Pretty normal stuff.
I find Incomplete Curved Clip as a bad descriptor of what actually occurred. Incomplete Punch is a better descriptor.
Indeed some are funny. A few years back I used to grab breakfast on Wednesday for a couple of us early to work. A fellow associate saw that I...
This will always be the case. The shear numbers of modern mintage figures continue to saturate the field making anything decades old an even...
It disappoints me to see threads devolve like this. My observation is that some members provide curt responses that are easily interpreted as...

Nice LWC! It is fun finding an old, well worn specimen! I've another small hoard to sort...so hopefully something in the mix for a change (pun...

Separate names with a comma.
