I feel cheated for my birth year set. My 1975 Mint set comes with a 1976 Dated Dollar, Half and Quarter leaving only a Dime, Nickel and Cent with...

Those are very cool idea's. One that I like that compliments the birth year set is a 100 years before you were born set. When they get older,...
I'll be different. MS-61.5 ;):p Kidding, I can see this as a MS-67 in an NGC holder. But in the ANACS holder that it appears to be in, MS-66,...
Scribbles are what my 4 year old does with a pen. I can't believe the number of different VAM's there are in the 1921 Morgan series and 1922...
I bought the Mercury Dime almost blindly when I got back into coins nearly two years ago. It was an eBay purchase and I was just looking for a...
Yes, it's getting close to the "Broken Nose" type, which seem to be fairly common in the Mercury Dime series.
Those are actually die polish lines. They are pretty common on Mercury Dimes. So if you are looking at Mercury Dimes, don't let those scare you...
@Cascade was kind enough to piggyback a few of my coins along with his submission to CAC not too long ago. I sent him 6 coins to send off to CAC...
That one is pretty insane!! What I like about my example is how on the reverse the core of the planchet is visible. :)
Sorry, I didn't see your question earlier. In the images above, the pick-up for the DDR is the in the stars under STATES. It's pretty minor and...
Yup.. I was hoping it was something worthwhile. Oh well..
I think you're right. I did an overlay and it matches up to the deep recess above Liberty's head next to her hair bun. That explains why it...
Well when I picked up this 1922 Peace Dollar and turned it over to look at the reverse, I knew it would be an interesting VAM and hopefully not...
I'll go 65 on this one.
Here's a dime I just picked up. The eye appeal in hand was just too nice to turn down. It has very silky smooth yet flashy luster. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm pretty stingy as well. I see a lot of coins in slabs that I pass on. It has to have a certain look for me to want to take it home. This one...
No they do not need to be coins, they can be medals or even currency or sports cards. Currently my equipment will limit the size to around 5x5...
To celebrate my 2000th post, I want to give away my services to photograph up to 5 coins for free to a fellow forum member. I want to do this as...
Wow, a lot of guesses at 64. In hand it looks very nice. It is a later die state. As far as being an RPM, I can't see any evidence of it under...
