and the first time that silver tanked $1.50 during the wait period for the 100 ounces that you bought, you'd understand why this is a bad idea
agreed about the "reduction", however it is more a term of convention. The drawings are done digitally, and the size is virtual.
Honestly, Kurt, I am unaware of ANY difference in the dies, planchets, or blanks for these coins. And the coins show no evidence of any special...
well, Kurt, it comes from a blog, so as with anything, take it with a grain of salt... just like my answers ;)
My guess is 65 PL. No idea of the VAM.

I'm going to start a grading thread for the coin. I will try to get pics with a DSL-R and a better light source and we'll see how many people tell...
And that's kind of the funny thing. I have a complete set of US Mint sets from 1959- date and the only reason that I have the 1982 and 83 Souvenir...
