I think the "random animal" part of this is the individual planchet/coin's reaction to the preparation/strike process. We've all seen (and in many...
Does that mean we've just come full circle and slammed headlong into our own butts?
It changed everything for me regarding Early Dollars. I'm already an experienced attributor with other issues (Morgans, Bust Halves) which doesn't...
Paul's linked site is always my first stop when a question like yours is asked. Occasionally I bring up Heritage's archive separately; sometimes...
