The "feature" at the eagle's wing I'm almost 100% positive is a die crack. That's accepted and depending on individual tastes, a positive. The...
What originally looked to me like a bad case of solder on a coin is actually a VERY bad case of rusted dies. This is a 1943 Japanese Occupation of...
For people like me a Fibonacci sequence serial number would be of interest. 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 (11235813) Surf it up. Also found in the movie The...
A slabbed coin (by NGC or PCGS) does 3 things for me: -- it authenticates it (the coin is real) -- it stipulates its originality (indicates...

Unfortunately it looks cleaned also.
Oooooo, thanks for that. I look at Heritage for coins but have missed out on the currency block listings.
District set, yes. But block sets within a District -- that's another story. That A/A block is the only one for Boston in the 1963 series. New...
Awfully suspicious.
I had a blank in the file name. Some sites do not like that. [IMG]
YES!!! The problem occurred to me while I was doing something else. I knew about it but it had been so long since I had to deal with it that I'd...

I'm going to have to collect some image with my camera. If they can be posted then it's some sort of problem with my scanner even though they are...
Nope. I don't even know what Tapatalk is!
The FRN notes that I collect are all CU or CHCU. With few exceptions they are all inexpensive even in those grades. BEP cutting and inking errors...
