I was only 12 and my mother was learning to drive a car. I can still drive you to the exact spot where she cut the corner too close and scrapped...
I thought that was the case. Most people think a ragged clip occurs at the start or end of the strip that planchets are made from. That’s not the...
That was my point. The company that counter stamped them for the Bicentennial made them unplated and plated in order to increase the sales. A...
OUCH!!! :)
Very nice and in a good decent grade!
I’m with you, oh the horrors! Spot toning is the worse kind of toning.

Woull L d any of you believe that all my Morgan Dollar photos were on my old cell? You know, the one that froze up and nothing could be accessed....
Nice find, a cud on the reverse and a die chip on the obverse.
As I said earlier, it looks like it broke off at the bottom that you now confirm as raised.
Lamination errors are not simple as they vary in types. Hopefully what I said, the web link and 2 examples provided will help you to have a better...
