Fair. :)
You think that's bad? Half of all Morgans were melted under the Pittman Act. We know the task of identifying all the Morgan Dollar die pairs is...
The only Modern Mint issue I own is the 2015 March of Dimes set. It commemorates an issue which is of great personal meaning to me, and I'd have...
Yet the post you made just before this one was about the fact that you use Newcomb to attribute Large Cents. :)
That right there is the best justification for any of them. In the best case, we collect what we like and the "investment value" (although...
I have no vested physical or emotional interest in Dan Carr's success or lack thereof. What I do have is an enormous sense of amusement deriving...
I got something in mind and the day off to do it. This'll take a while, though. :)
No, that strongly detracts from value. A TPG would slab this coin as "Details," and the retail value would (roughly) halve from an undamaged coin...

Where have I heard that before? :P
That is spectacular.
For me, this is more like, "Which one do you want to see?" :)
I think "monster" works. :)
Yes, because we wouldn't want to mistake it for all the other 1964-D Morgans out there.
Well, that eliminates the slabs from TPG's, then.
Yeah, they were incorporated. Sure seems Carson City got good die life on this one - 1.2 million minted on what looks (right now, so far) like 4...
With 1883-CC, only VAM-2 doesn't have the dash. :) All the same, you're correct on this one. It's an "OG" VAM-5, first die state and probably one...
The one thing you can be certain of is, it's a physical impossibility to do this at the Mint. It takes two dies to strike a coin, and dies are not...
I concur. For $75, I expect an original-surfaces (without L) AU50-55 coin already in a slab.
I stand corrected. Talkcoin's image ought to be added to the VAMworld page; the current image does the polishing no justice.
