Sounds like a great snowy Saturday project! ;) I look forward to seeing your results.
It looks like a die break, but it doesn't look like any I've ever seen before. Huh. I like the "Erudite Jefferson" look. (granted, as a...
Yes, there are 64 Business strike quarters made with proof reverse dies (the designation is actually Type B, but I'll let that slide). However, if...
It will vary based on what you collect, of course. I tend to collect foreign coins, and have done repeat business with Pegasus Auctions and Atlas...
Some of @rmpsrpms super-extremely-enlarged photos show the same thing. This is a really cool effect to see, and your pictures clearly show the...
Any time I see a zohar newp thread, I know that I will not be disappointed. I opened, I saw this enormous, gorgeously toned medal. And I was not...
I collect prooflike coins, so this is a no-brainer for me. Absolutely I would choose the PL, every single time. In my US Type Set, I have...
My understanding is they have a pretty long history, but it looks like it started getting big in the 1980's. Nowadays, it seems like every group...
I don't recognize any of them off the bat, but they are most likely military challenge coins. Most presidents/generals/admirals/captains, etc.,...
I have no idea what anyone is talking about anymore. They went around in circles for a few hours, and only wound up confusing themselves and...

What is a punt? And what was the Treaty of Rome?
Some of the Mexican states coinage can be extremely crude. I don't think this one looks right to me, however. It looks cast (which I don't think...
I make a significant number of purchases on Ebay. Ebay as a site and as a company has its own problems, but Ebay is made up of thousands of...
If you are a bulk dealer, you submit 400 coins, a few of them come back as 68 or 69. You make your money here. The rest come back as 67 or lower....
No idea about the medal, but I remember from Speech Club what a Declamatory speech is. Basically, you repeat a speech which was given in public....
The Peace just doesn't look right. AT.
Proof is one thing. Business strike is something different. Sometimes, business strike coins have a reflective, mirrored finish. We call those...
What? I don't understand your question.
Separate names with a comma.
