Seconded on hits in the area. Enlarged I also see three small pock marks below the date. The 4 took a hard hit at the top as I see a lump of...
If you are searching solid date rolls or solid date full boxes it's going to be hit or miss. Right now I'm working on a full date box which has...
Even the die chips and cracks on the top left of the cent shield every year. Most of the quarters also have lots of chip and cracks, especially at...
All so very true. I do, from time to time pick out ones that I cannot decipher, like from the Middle East. Great learning tool even though I still...
