I cannot imagine this coin not getting a Bean at VF30.
The arrow fletches are the better indicator for those counterfeits.
[IMG] [IMG] I will add nothing of my own input. Let the readers take those images onto other fora, in front of other numismatists, and see what...
What was I, drinking? Sheesh. Hate it when I try to think fast and post during my lunch break. :P At one time I had almost half of the known 1921...
I am *so* stealing that line. :)
Well bought indeed. :)
That's not the point. Most 1921's have none in that cluster. The D2 16-berry reverse has no berry at all. That's what he was saying.
And at the rate those are getting into circulation, nobody would have noticed them missing for years. :)
Very inconsistent, yet perfectly parallel, similarly deep, and all ending at the same precise distance from devices in multiple places. Yet,...
Then egos get overblown. Fortunately, I don't think I could become more arrogant than I already am so it's OK. :P
Perhaps it was just an overreaction on my part. I perceived you as feeling it more important to "win" than to ensure the correct information was...
My theory is that "responsibility" will devolve to SSDC (John Baumgart is SSDC President), and they will create an ad hoc committee composed of...
Or that. The "halos" visible in some images around the devices make me think it might have been polished with a cloth.
Regarding the difference between the "polished-looking" and "not" images, I have none at the moment; the degree of damage visible in the pics...
There's an existing hierarchy of top-level VAMmers - John Roberts, John Baumgartner, others - whose qualifications to determine new varieties...
I think they'd begin to wonder after the first 4 hours.....
Since when could you scrub a die this hard and have the lines thus created fall short of the edge of a device? That doesn't pass the elementary...
In view of subsequent events and another deacde of wisdom gained, I don't really feel that necessary as I've filled in a few blanks on my own....
Every generation has to outdo the last, to differentiate themselves. When I was a young adult 35 years ago, not even the most hardened of...
Stop and rethink what you just posted. Overlays are problematic when you didn't create both images yourself, especially when one or the other...
