Wisdom. This one needs a major show auction.
It would be a disservice to you to falsely raise/dash hopes by answering with any certainty; the only way to make an accurate determination is...
Any way you look at it, the Large Fish™ will likely be biting at this one. :) Yours looks to be as well-struck as these come, to boot. Can't wait...
Atmosphere's pretty thin at that level; there are no PL's in 67 and only a single 66 in DMPL. The argument could be made that this is the...
Just don't lose track of the certainty that the road has no end.
How much did the FE's alone compensate for that loss? I don't exactly see your fiscal year ending in the red. :)
Those both make my mouth water, as someone who enjoys the conservation process, but either are huge risks in terms of potential for success....
Is it just me, or was 1921-S about the single "woodiest" Lincoln issue? San Francisco sure got a weird batch of planchets that year. You've been...

I've the feeling their valuation estimate might prove a bit conservative when the coin actually hammers. Boningtons seems certain that it will...
News flash, 'dude: The title "novice collector" under your username is not really applicable in your case, at least not any longer.... :D
And since, there are people who have based their entire collecting careers on clads. :)
First, grab the Jason Poe book SilverMike mentioned. You'll find the Amazon link to buy it in physics-fan3.14's post right above mine - it's in...
Collecting coins without being able to grade them yourself is rather like collecting cars with no knowledge how to drive.
Lamination peel, I think. A dropped letter is going to either be an incuse strike on the planchet (the dropped feature becomes a strikethrough),...
This. Doubled dies are varieties, as defined by being things on the die which are created before the strike. Errors are a function of the strike...
Separate names with a comma.
