Roger, my understanding from the book is that many of those methods were the experimental cents. Your book implies that electroplated blanks were...
Roger Burdette posts on the NGC and PCGS forums. I'm not sure if he's a member here, but I've alerted him to this thread and hopefully will be...

I am literally reading from Roger's book with it open in front of me. If Roger got it wrong after all of his extensive and well documented...

I think some people are under the mis-conception that CAC's business is stickering coins. It is not. CAC is an approval service which makes a...
I'm interested to see different pictures when you get this one back. The discoloration in the fields is a classic "lightly circulated" look,...
