More like a combination. The reverse reminds me of longacre doubling - secondary image around the outside of the wreath. The obverse looks like...
Take a duplicate and insert in each hole to stretch it. Usually makes the real coin go in nicely. I did have some problems with state quarters,...
Well from the article in the cherry pickers guide on the deepest part of the die and with die grease and die wear I would assume that would vary...
Well you are doing good! Some of them are real beauties like that bust dollar. The only disappointing thing is - no US large cents. :) Very nice...
Glad to be of service and that is one nice reverse for a buffalo nickel. I was browsing the album - is that your collection? If so you have some...

EFJ - extra fine jewelry. :)
You are not the only one. I thought I read somewhere that they charged $10 to see if a coin got the * designation and I did not know that was only...
Okay coin man - read my last PM.
Welcome Joe. Looks like the image did not come across.
Looks like a good score. Was it the coin and the magazines? Both are nice. And my apologies if my jesting around did not come out right. My...
