When something is that expensive you want it to be certified as genuine by a grading company rather then find out later it is fake and you have no...
Looks like grease. Minor error, but a keeper.
You have to work backwards. Reverse engineer. How did the mark get there? Where did it come from? What part of the minting process created it? It...
Yeah they made regular S coins in 68, 69 and 70. (Nickels) Generally speaking it is going to be much easier to find a proof with full steps than a...
